Wednesday Night: There was a HIGH FIVE!!

But before we get to the amazingness that was a stranger's high five, I'll mention that I forgot to total last time! Oooops. TOTAL: 17

STRANGER: Chocolate-Banana Air Traffic Controller

POINTS:

Started the conversation: I'll give myself half-points for this, since I didn't actually start it, but I gave the lead to keep it going, so 5
Length: 5 minutes or more
Location: Oh So Good (a dessert place in Ottawa)... we'll give it 10
Comfort zone: 2 points

BUT HIGH FIVE! I'm pretty sure this deserves points... my roommate (and only follower...) says 50... I think we'll go with that. 50!

Maybe I'll tell the high five story... I'm a bit proud.

The guy asked my friend and I where we were from. When I said "Haliburton," he said, "Oh yeah. My wife and I do air traffic control for that area... Stanhope airport."

I was stunned. No one knows about the Stanhope airport (bet you have to look that up!). In shock, I said, "If you weren't a complete stranger, I would high five you for knowing where Stanhope is."

His response? "High fives are always good." (satisfying clapping sound)

SO, total: 72!

Not bad.

Lesson learned: Do not stay in hotels near the airport for $135, when you can stay at the Chateau Laurier for $150.

Easter Monday... yes I'm lamely slow and behind.

My friend Lisa tells me that this one counts. I'm not convinced. Mind you, she also accused me of flirting... not quite true...

Stranger: Renfrew Pizza Pizza Guy

Points:

Did not start conversation: 0 points
Length less than 5 minutes: 5 points
Store cashier: 10 points
Comfort zone: 2 points

What I learned: Slow days at Pizza Pizza are great for telling girls about your indecision about life.
