Sat for fifteen minutes on a bench in the park, reading. Got two guys hitting on me, which I ignored until they went away, and two nice old ladies doing propaganda for Jehovah's Witnesses, who went away after handing me a bunch of pampleths which got binned almost immediately. Then another guy hitting on me, who wouldn't go away so I left instead. Grr...
Something tells me I should work on my "I'm grumpy and evil and dangerous, stay the fuck away from me" scowl some more.

A person every three minutes? What kinda parks do you have over there?

Grumpy, evil and dangerous is a bad man-repellent. If you're grumpy it means you need cheering up, if you're evil... Well, we all are a little bit (basic economics) and dangerous equals exciting.

Try picking your nose, it'll probably work better.

Fred: way too crowded. Can't even read in peace. *grumble*

Ekim: ewww, nosepicking. No. I'll just settle for looking grumpy, evil and dangerous, AND smacking in the face with a book anyone who doesn't let me read in peace. How's that sound?

It sounds like you need a hug. Believe me it won't work.

Unless you get a book with metal bits on the spine of course.

That could be arranged. :D

Won't that hur- oh, the spine of the BOOK.
