Her Smiling Eyes

Friday, May 05, 2006

I got there around six, and I made an attempt to hang out with Aaron at the location, but alas, I did not get a hold of him. No worries, it was ok. I am glad I was solo because I wanted to pick up a book and get lost in it. That's what I really wanted and needed. If I was with someone, I would feel like I was neglecting them by reading and maybe even feel as if there should be conversation, and I just wanted to read. So in way, it was good I was by myself. I didn't have to worry about any of that, because I obviously do.

I went inside and hunted for a book I could get into right away. In the process, I got to talking with some of the employees that I've become really good friends with. I know Rachel from school and she's good fun. We talked about what book I should read. Then, as I was getting a chilled mocha drink, I talked to this other lady, I am sad to have forgotten her name, but we began talking about all sorts of things while I was ordering. [The cute girl served me :) She gave me chocolate whipped cream topping on my chilled mocha and we chatted for a bit until another customer came along. She asked me for my name and said she'll try and remember it. I blushed like crazy because she's uber pretty and lovely. Then I returned to my conversation with the unnamed lady.] We travelled from the line to the comfy chairs in the corner of the cafe and talked about college, travelling, books, life, everything. We talked for over an hour and it was wonderful.

After the currently unnamed lady went back to work, I began reading the book I picked up: Into the Wilderness (or something along those lines). Very interesting. I think what really intrigues me is the fact that it is something I only dream of--leaving mainstream society and living in the wilderness, surviving off of whatever you find along the way and having nothing but what you can carry. Soon, though, I got thirsty. But this time for water--partially because I was actually thirsty, and partially because the cute cute girl was working. But this time Wayne served me. Wayne and I ended up talking about my teeshirt and that lead to talking about about Amnesty, Diversity Club, and other clubs I've been/currently involved in (or try to be, at least) and he is really interested in human rights as well. I told him about the Increase the Peace and he is really considering coming. The pretty girl was near us, so maybe she will come, too. Her name is Michelle, I just feel shy for remembering, so I call her the pretty girl ::blush blush blush:: I just felt rude in making it seem like I only noticed her looks and not her name. She is very pleasant all around, really. I would like to get to know her better so I could be sure what else actually attracts me to her. I get this fiesty vibe, like it takes a while for her to trust/open up to people. I find that really intriguing because then it makes it more challenging to get to know her. Once you become friends with someone like that, it's feels rewarding because you broke the barrier and he or she trusts you. But with all those layers to get to that point, there are always more and that's what keeps things interesting. It's an on-going process, and it's like that first barrier is a check point and the rest need to be discovered in time. You can learn so many new things about a person with time, for we are always growing and changing.

Anyway, I went back to sit down and I read for a long time. I really like the book: Into the Wilderness. It's one of those 3 for 2 deals, and there are two other books I'm interested in within that deal so I think I will stop by tomorrow and buy them. Yes yes, it will be lovely.

Then Becky, Catherine, and Leta came later on in the evening and I ended up sitting with them and talking about college, philosophy, and different theories on education, life, and everything inbetween. At times, we were oozing with nerdiness and I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed our laughs and conversations. It was a lovely way to end the night. I left at closing feeling full of wonderful feelings.

I felt like I was in Waking Life because I was having all these indepth conversations with people I'd run into and it was amazing. I was like the deep conversation whore of Borders tonight--people would come in, we'd acknowledge each other and end up talking about all these interesting things for long periods of time. I need to do that more often, I really do. It just goes to show, you don't always need company to have a good time.

Tonight I got the best of both worlds--me time and random people time. And it was absolutely refreshing :D

Goodnight everyone, I hope you have beautiful dreams about abstract things.

I love you
