Is this Gareth starting all these parody threads?

so how often do you city folk bump into your friends on the city streets?

I often do, but then I lived in Dublin, went to college there, worked there, and so on and so on, so I've built up several groups of people to avoid in one small city.

i run into people on the city streets quite often, though less so in winter. hell, even as a visitor to big cities i run into people, even ilxors! e.g., jw on the streets of nyc! and once marianna on the streets of london!

i walked fast this morning to catch up to my friend who was meeting me at the gym - it's weird b/c our paths have never crossed before even though we've had this routine for months - which also is amazing b/c it's always a matter of just a minute or two whether you'll run into someone or not. the world. pretty awesome.

ammit, the reason (well, one of the reasons) i love the city is i can walk down any street, even the one i live on, and not see one person i recognise who recognises me. i hated that about growing up in a village, HATED IT HATED IT HATED IT. everyone knew who you were, who your friends were, who your mum and dad were, what had happened in your street last week, and as a result thought that gave them the right to stop you and interrogate you about it. FUCK OFF. JUST. FUCK. OFF.

Hahah. Small towns are exactly the same in the US but no one walks anywhere, so they most they can do is wave at you from the car, or maybe ask "How ya doin'?" out the window in passing. SAVED.

Wandering into town at random on a Saturday and knowing I'll run into someone I know is one of the things I miss SO BADLY about Dublin.

But then I suppose you choose where you live in a city, much less in a village.

Whatever like.

I thought this thread was started by Mark H, but he had anonymoused himself because he was embarrassed about starting yet another thread. But I do like Mark H threads!

I ran really fast for a bus, but it was the wrong one!

I run into people all th etime. I don't know who they are though.

SLOWER TRAFFIC TO THE RIGHT!

The worst thing is a gang of were-three-toed-sloths in human form walking eight abreast at a rate of approximately 2 klicks per decade blocking the whole sidewalk.

i dunno, i think i would enjoy running into 8 breasts whilst walking through a street full of people.
