RANDOM ENCOUNTERs: 11.16.05

1.) Rachel Caruso

Collision Time/Location: Around 9am. 399 Park Avenue. She was coming out of the C-15 elevator bank

And I know her from: Improv.

Did I speak to them? No. Here's the thing! It's not the first time I've seen her in this building. And I always make eye contact and smile, but as soon as the wave and the "hi!" start to emerge, she looks away as if she either doesn't know me, doesn't recognize me, or is trying to avoid me. All of these possiblilities are completely valid. I don't know if we've ever spoken to each other ever. I think she's my Friendster, though. So who knows.

My general feeling about this encounter: Are you shy, Rachel? The people in my office think I'm shy. I'm not, I just act that way at the office. Maybe you do that, too? I don't know. I feel as if I know a lot of people who don't know me.

And Any Exciting News or Gossip? I am not someone that people remember.

Cosmological Reason for Encounter: None.


2.) Rob Webber

Collision Time/Location: Around 5:30pm. Lexington Avenue - the west sidewalk from 54th until 56th.

And I know him from: Improv.

Did I speak to them? No. I was in a hurry. And, after the Caruso encounter, I assume no one knows me.

My general feeling about this encounter: It was akward. I should have waved or something. I didn't

And Any Exciting News or Gossip? I'm a wussy.

Cosmological Reason for Encounter: None.
