I am not a statistic

The one good thing that came out of a super-weird conversation with the guy from TIME (no, he's not cute, by far) I mentioned in the previous post was that I realized being dumb and defensive and watching people jump from one hasty conclusion to another is amusing timepass. Towards the end of that convoluted inconsequential conversation was an exchange of dialogue I'd probably remember for some time.

Me: You don't know me. Your judgements mean nothing.
Him: But you're not letting me know you.
Me: That's right, I wanted it this way. That's the mood I'm in this evening.
Him: See, all judgement is experiential, and statistics show...
Me: I'm not a statistic. Do you have any more questions?
Him: No.
Me: Neither do I. Thank you for your time.

Felt good.

'T.i.m.e. stands clueless in front of a woman of 22', Frost would've said, 'because she doesn't recognize the statistics, yet'. :P

Yeah, its good to feel in control of ur life. Also, responsible. How hand in hand is that. How obvious, yet ignored!
