Surprises

It's nice to be surprised by someone--especially when you least expect it. Some people you don't expect much from; they pass by and are on their way. But it's weird when you assume someone's like that and they surprise you with their depth, their passion, their openness, their back story, their quirks. I was kind of surprised by someone who was open and sweet and interesting, especially because she has such a seemingly harsh exterior. I found myself fascinated today when I least expected to be. I stood enraptured as a woman dished the dirt and mentioned the healing waters of Lourdes like another seemingly hard shelled woman I know. I'm not a good judge of character, but I love it when someone fascinates me.
