Well, this evening I made my usual once a month trip to Blockbuster to use my free rental coupon. A U-turn was involved in the trip, which I must add, I executed perfectly. I knew the neighboring cars had their doubts. ha. So yeah, I was exploring blockbuster, picking up every old movie I could find (hoping for Cary Grant movie…no luck :( ). This guy walked in to my aisle. Naturally, I turned to glance (something I try not to do). Well, this guy made eye contact and started walking straight toward me. I was racking my brain, trying to think if I know him. I’m certain I’ve never seen him before in my life, so he reaches out his hand and says “Hi, I’m Patrick. I just had to come introduce myself.” So I was clearly confused, but I introduced myself and he continued to ask if I went to school here. I mentioned I had graduated and as an afterthought, added from Purdue, since people often think I’m in high school. He asked if I were planning to stay around here and then glanced at my hand before the marriage or b/f question haha. So he said, “Maybe I can give you a call sometime then.” *hint, hint* Me, always cool, “Well, you can email me” hehe. Yeah, I gave the guy my Gmail account. Sheesh.

Of course after such an encounter, it’d be awkward to pass him again, so I hid in the same aisle, reading every movie. As I went to the checkout, I saw he was already in line. He smiled while I proceeded to duck into another aisle. hehe hush, I know. So then, I was standing there, saying “Weird. So weird. No, Mindy, what’s weird is you’re talking to yourself…out loud, no less in a public place” I’m such a loser, because I really was saying all that out loud. That’s what living alone and hanging out with your dog will do to you. So yeah, I’ve never ever had any guy come up and talk to me, let alone ask for my number. It must have been my cool black shirt. hehe. Or he noticed my stellar taste in movies. I ended up getting All About Eve and Vertigo. I considered Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or something, but I wasn’t sure I could handle Liz Taylor. I would have liked Paul Newman, though.

I had to share that experience, since it was the first and possibly the last time it will ever happen. I just hope the guy isn’t in high school. That’s just too young and weird. *sigh* We’ll see. The guy doesn’t appear to be my type, but I’ll see how his email goes…*shrug* Johnny told me I need to work on meeting people. I must obey his every command.

I took freaka-chica to the Celery Bog today for a walk. It was a lovely day, very relaxing. Too bad I didn’t think to bring my camera until we were already there. Yeah, since Johnny didn’t go today, I think that just gave me bonus points for best dog parent in the world award. haha. Inside joke. Since I never got an official invite to a Halloween party, it’s Halloween at home for me. I suppose I can make up stories some day about college parties I attended, so my nieces & nephews don’t think I’m a complete loser. I have to remember to get candy tomorrow. I forgot tonight.
