Not in Teesside Any More
Walking along Wilshire in Santa Monica, iPod earphones quite conspicuously in ears, almost as if I might be listening to music. Waiting at light to cross 7th Street.
Man: [Looking at me, mouth opening and closing as he says something. Clearly no clue I can’t hear him.]
Me: [Takes off earphones, an expression of mild annoyance.] I didn’t hear a word of that.
Man: You’re very lucky.
Me: How?
Man: I can see your aura.
Me: I’m sorry, I don’t have an aura.
Man: Oh, okay.
Me: [Puts music back on. Stomps away towards the 7/11.]

You don’t have an aura because you don’t live in Teesside any more? That sucks. 🙂
I’m not sure anyone on Teesside has an aura. I think they have John Smith’s Magnet instead.
But if you had an aura, would you show it in public like that? Maybe you should have directed him to the Tuesday Morning Store? (Or Wednesday store? I can’t remember which day.)
