I think I Scared a Girl Off With my Razors
She...didn't seem to know how to react. She saw them in the bathroom and asked about them. I said it's a hobby I've had for a while. She didn't believe me, so I showed her the YouTube video. She asked me to explain how I didn't cut myself. I said I've been at it a while. She just...had no words. Said it was, "very unusual," and that I was "unlike any of her friends."
I drove her home and she said she wanted to get together again. But wow, I've never experienced a reaction like that. She's a country girl and the people she's used to are all pretty much the same, she told me...so I guess this was a shock.
In a nutshell, I have never experienced razor discrimination before! I don't want to be "the usual"! I consider myself a creative and thoughtful person and if I'm the only one she's met, well -- what can I say? I didn't really have a response that could make it seem "normal" to her. It'd be like if someone who could read saw your book shelf and was like, "Pfft - you read books?" And then you were like, "Well yeah, why not?"
