Today, I went off campus with a friend of Mazza's to look for apartments. The current tenant there was quite... hesitant when she saw me. Mazza's friend, Alan, did most of the talking and I asked several questions myself. She responded nicely but I pretty much screwed up my interaction with her. My eyes looked away when she was talking about something and smiling at me. I did it twice. Facepalm. I doubt it pissed her off, but still, it would have been nice to be able to have a normal interaction. Alan and I left, and we talked on our way back. Interaction was normal and superior to most of my conversations in the past. Gotta keep working on it.
Addendum: Someone yelled my name from building 3 and stared at me, but I couldn't see who they are. Should have waved back. Violated one of my previous note to selfs.
Wendy and I have been talking through AIM a lot lately. She constantly talks about her boyfriend and the stuff they do. I'm happy for them and I'm happy that Wendy has found a happy ending considering the stuff she's been through. I wish I would have a happy ending. Sigh.
Note to self: Always assume that when someone says your name, they are talking to you. Greet them back.
