I work in a bookstore
Today a girl who looks like Lolita asked me to show her Lolita.
Bookstore stories.
I went to a barns and noble after I took the LSAT. the store was awful and most of it wasn't even books. It was coffee, DVDs, and mine craft.
I bought a vinyl.

Everyday for two months this homeless man would come into my store and ask for a piece of paper, pencil, and what the date was.
He did this because "There is a dilemma, the world is in danger"
He would then spend hours "solving" these dilemmas which always started with the date, and then leave saying "The dilemma is over. We are safe today"
He spoke fluent French
I have not seen him in weeks and I worry

Hobos are the best.
I always saw the same guy outside the cafe I worked at. He always rambled shit but once he said 'YOU GOT YOUR MOUTH FULL OF BLINDNESS'
cool guy, had lots of dogs.
>Be third worlder
>Got to bookstore
>Shit's really expensive
>There's a tight space between shelves
>I am between two of them, debating whether or not buy War and Peace with a shitty translation
>qt is looking at books on the same shelf
>asks me if I read
>of course, I say
>"and what do you read?"
>Try not to sound like a pretentious faggot
>"f-fiction"
>Realize I fucked up
>Now she must believe I read fucking hunger games or something
>"and what do you read?"
>"science"
>I didn't think she would say physics and shit
>"like science fiction?"
>"no, science"
>realize I fucked up beyond belief
>sister comes from behind me
>HOLY SHIT ANON LOOK AT THIS COPY OF THE HOBBIT MOM SAID SHE WOULD GIVE IT TO ME AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT
>qt and I just look in silence at my sister, waiting for her to leave
>some woman, probably her mom calls her
>"sorry, I have to go"
I ended up grabbing some expensive as fuck Savage detectives and having my family comment on how I waste my own money
I had my chance, might as well go full wizard now.

>Go to Library drunk with my now former best friend
>Been talking with ex (she broke up with me about a month and a half before and we were trying to be friends) on facebook
>end up sending her about 50 video messages over the course of the conversation
>Crying in about half
>Trying to be rational and understanding in the other half
Nobody came up to me and my mate.

you know she probably just wanted to talk, which you could have done instead of clamming up because of your own self-consciousness because you had impressed her with your intellect. She would have at least been happy if you had talked to her about physics or something. Sometimes it's not about trying to prove what you know, but just taking an interest in what the other person is saying. People like that.

>Notice that downstairs there's a table with tarot cards set up
>kek internally because that shit don't real
>see this fat-ish dude wandering around
>He starts talking to me
>I'm pretty fucking awkward
>Notices that I'm looking at some Star Wars shit for a friend
>Asks if I like fantasy
>"I mean, sorta."
>I forget how it happened, but eventually we started talking more
>He tells me about how he moved to Windsor, how his heart got broken, really deep stuff
>Feel super fucking bad for the guy
>When he talks, it makes him seem wise, but in a way that you know he's not
>It's hard to explain, but imagine that kid who never stopped pretending to be an edgelord vampyre master of darkness during middle school, but grown up enough to stop wearing chains on his clothing
>Sounded arrogant as fuck t b h senpai
>He asks if I've ever had my palm read
>lol what
>"No. Why?"
>"I am what you would call a psychic."
>Kek internally. Try really, really hard not to burst out laughing.
>Have to actually turn away for a minute and pretend to look at books
>"Oh yeah?"
>"Precisely."
>Morbidly curious, let him take my hand
>Reads it, asks me questions, gives me a very general reading
>But at the same time, this guy was pretty good
>He knew how to say things that are general enough to apply to everyone, and they did honestly apply to my life at the moment
>Kinda spooked, cuz he mentioned this girl I had a crush on
>He offers to do tarot for me
>whythefucknotgypsyman.jpg
>he reads my tarot
>I forget what exactly the reading said, but it sounded good at the time
>legitimately spooked
>but also embarrassed, because this dude was cringe as fuck
>thank him, walk to a different part of the store
>He gives me his business card and tells me to check him out on facebook
>Say I will
>He starts talking to the cashier
>"You know, madam, we should start a Steampunk roleplaying society in this city."
>"What is steampunk?"
>"I am quite certain you have heard of it, madam."
>Leave without buying anything
