I've been thinking about the future and how I'm going to meet new people in the future. The playing pool in the Village Lounge and watching tv in the laundry room was a good start, but what happens after campus life? That's the question I'm facing. Normally, people meet new people in bars, clubs, etc., places which I call the "human watering hole". The thing is, those places aren't for me. I prefer quiet places, places where I can think, places of solitude. The exact opposite of where to meet new people. Honestly, I have no answer for this.
Thinking of meeting new people, Anni Ma popped back into my head. Two months ago, she was with a bunch of her friends filming in front of the Village East Tower. When I was walking back to the door, she was between me and the door, she sees me about thirty feet away. She keeps on talking to her friends, but she keeps looking down at the ground and back up at me over and over again. I walked past her without saying anything. When I first met her, I thought she only wanted me to vote for her on facebook. But her behavior in the few times I met her implies other things. Damn, should have said hi. Another lost connection.
Update: Bumped into Darvarsh several times today. Interactions with him were above average. No negative physiological responses and I didn't stutter or mumble. He congratulated me on graduating and we shook hands. Nice guy, I'll miss him.
I keep writing off new people I meet as unknown variables, something to be avoided. Shouldn't do that.
Note to self: Don't immediately write off new people.
