people like to talk to me...

hello all! well, this is my first blog ever! so here goes nothing! basically, my idea behind the blog is to just write about all the weird things that happen in my life! here is a perfect example: today i was on the metro, minding my own business...when a couple and their toddler sit down across from me (i was sitting by an old man). obviously, if you know me, i love kids...so i was amused by the cute little baby...he was asian and had HUGE cheeks and HUGE dimples (something i have always wanted and dont have!)...anyway, i start chatting with the mom (yah, ok..i talk too much) and i mention that i work at a hospital with kids and then somehow...she starts talking to me about breastfeeding...and how he used to be small...and how he wouldnt latch onto the nipple...so she had to use this special nipple sipper...she is now shouting to me in a jam-packed metro about boobs and latching on and im thinking..i dont even know you lady! then i realized that this is not uncommon. when people find out i work in a hospital, they feel they can tell me anything. one time a man at meditation told me this intense sad story about his daughter, then told me that it all happened because they got food poisoning...then told me every detail of how that affected his body (ten minute story of his de-a-rees, ok). then he went onto tell me how it affected everyone else's bodies. it was not pretty. people tell me about their gases, their divorces, their aches and pains...pretty much anything you can think of! and the thing is, i may work in a hospital...but im not YOUR doctor, im not even A doctor...so really its just weird!
