last time i got a haircut the barber lady was quite cute and chatty and in the middle of the haircut, this obnoxious song came on the radio over the PA whose lyrics were quite literally i’m falling in love with a stranger repeated 50 times, crystal clear, little instrumental backing even. and of course she could feel my breathing get quicker, she’s standing one foot from me and actively working on my hair. so that wasn’t awkward at all. and i am already a very quiet person who feels shame easily so it wasn’t great. i do love having my hair long however
Someone in a gathering called for a moment of silence for the victims of the Canadian wildfires, and suddenly, in the silence, all people can hear is the Little Inferno theme song quietly playing on my closed ipad.
