Or so I accidentally said in a text this afternoon.

I was hanging out at our favourite cafe with Scott and Brian today when I got a text from John. He moved away to Connecticut a couple of weeks ago and it was basically a "hey, what are you up to" text. So I responded saying where we were and he said "Aww, I miss going there." Now I meant to respond with "I miss being here with you." Unfortunately, I suck at texting/typing/reading and talking/listening so I was saying to Scott and Brian "I'm sorry I'm texting; I feel rude." (Because I really do feel rude texting/talking on the phone if I'm hanging out with other people) So yeah, I ended up mixing my words and texting "I miss being rude."

Anyway, I do miss going there with John

I'm actually thinking he's going to end up coming back. I kinda thought he might all along anyway, but I think it's still something he needed to go and check out. Anyway, the way I see it he'll either come back (YAY), or he'll decide he's happy and stay (also YAY), so either way it'll work out

In other news I had my friend Jesse over for dinner the other night and naturally Lucky (my cat) was all over her. That cat is so adorably friendly and social. I don't think she's ever met a person, or another animal for that matter, that she didn't like. Anyway, she's REALLY good-natured and nothing makes her happier than cuddling with someone. So Jesse made this awesome suggestion! She proposed that I look into enrolling Lucky in one of those 'animals in nursing homes/hospitals' programs. Ya know, where they bring the animals in to sit with the sick or elderly. I think that's a terrific idea! Lucky would have a fantastic time, and if I do say so myself she's a pretty awesome cat. Even people that don't like cats like Lucky, so I definitely think she could cheer people up.

I also got hit on by two separate guys at Kroger this evening. I took one of the incidents as a nice little compliment, but the other one made me a bit uncomfortable. I noticed this cute guy (see it always helps when the flirter is cute ) checking me out and when I caught him he just gave this cute little sheepish smile, and when I smiled back he sort of winked. So perfectly pleasant there. The other guy...not so much. He was walking toward me so I sort of stepped back to let him pass, but he adjusted his direction so that he still walked directly into my right shoulder/side. Not hard, but firmly and he sorta passed really slow and lingered. Now really I had no idea what was going on until I looked up, already thinking "how rude," and when I made eye contact he DIDN'T smile, he just sort of leered at me.

It's interesting because I just finished a book about body language/touch, and I think one of the main problems is that he invaded my personal space and broke a lot of 'social rules' when it comes to asking permission/apologizing. Conversely, the other guy played by all the 'rules' mentioned in the book. When someone catches you staring, for whatever reason, you're 'supposed' to give a quick smile and look away. I then followed it up by catching his eye and smiling myself, which made the returned attention and friendly wink acceptable. In fact that's almost exactly how the book said it was supposed to work. And no, of course I wasn't thinking about these things while they were happening, but it's interesting to reflect on. Anyway, needless to say given all the attention I received today (even Scott was very complimentary about my appearance) I shall definitely be wearing that outfit again
