Some guy at the bookstore talked to me for like 10 minutes and everything he said was darn close to being completely incomprehensible. It was excrutiating. I nodded a lot and said “Uh, huh” a few times. Finally I just started to walk away and he says “Oh, well, I was just leaving too.” And follows me. Then some girl said “Hi” to him and he ditched me for her. I was glad to see him go, but I also felt like I’d been kicked to the curb. It was a strange feeling.
