I'm a pretty quiet guy at work, and one of my co-workers has a cousin who's into a lot of the same stuff as me, so he thought he'd connect me with her, which I mean, I thought that was a little weird, but its not a very professional workplace and I'm lonely af so I thought what the heck lol
Anywho, I go ahead and start chatting with this person, nice girl it seems, makes cool art, I also make cool art, we have a lot of stuff in common; everything seems nice.
HOWEVER, she asked me a bit about my hobbies, and one of the things I mentioned was that I'm a magician, and that caught her attention, she asked if I was at (insert halloween event) of 2024, and I was like, OMG wtf, yes I was there!
Turns out, she was directly in front of me in line, and she was carrying an adorable little bunny, and keep in mind, we have literally never met since or before then, and my coworker has literally no idea about this even at all, he just thought we'd match.
But anyway, I think that's super cool, and I ask if she's up to see a movie or whatever, and she says yes, and she also says to wait a sec, she has a photo, and I'm like, what? :D
So she sends me 2-3 photos of myself from 2 years ago at that event (or at least of my back), I had literally 0 idea I was ever recorded there at all, let alone by that cool person, and I think that's just kind of odd.
I was literally performing magic tricks and taking photos with other people, I would've absolutely took one, but having someone have an image of myself I didn't consent to or know about is kind of weird.
ESPECIALLY, since this exact thing happened at a convention a while back, a girl I did magic tricks too was especially appreciative, and acted kinda weird, but its a convention, you don't attract the most social people lol.
But at the convention later, I sit down, and this girl comes in front of me, with her phone's camera pointed directly at me, as if recording, and I thought that was kind of weird, but I'm probably imaging it. I smile at her, and she immediately leaves, and comes up TO THE SIDE OF ME, 30 seconds later, again camera pointed directly at me, not doing anything else.

Literally I took a photo of everyone with a costume, like I am not against photos at all, and if you like me, JUST ASK ME FOR MY NUMBER PLEASE, I'M SO DANG LONELY, but anyway, uh, I thought that was kind of weird, I don't know man, maybe I'm just crazy lol.
I've been making mostly animations recently, crappy and numerous, because if you're not good at something, just do it a lot more than anyone else to compensate.
Its stew's soup, if you're interested, thanks lol!
