People
I’ve come to realize that there are people in my life that I just plain look forward to seeing the rare times I get the opportunity to see them. Sometimes it’s people from out of town. Sometimes it’s at annual events (dance weekends, Mystery Hunt, etc.). Sometimes it’s friends of friends that I only see at the rare big get together.
This happened recently. Someone was in town… not even a friend… I heard he’d be here… and I found myself happy with anticipation. Then, I started thinking about it. Why did I feel this way? In some ways, I barely know this person, I hang out with him, in group settings, about once a year or so.
Then I hung out with said person, and remembered why. I normally find it difficult to interact with people. I don’t normally know what to do or say. However, with some people, it just seems to work. It’s fun to talk, hang out, veg, dance, puzzle, juggle, or just be with them. At least on my side of things, I’m comfortable. Sometimes it’s because the other person is just that good at putting introverted geeks like me at ease. Sometimes it’s because the other person and I click.
It’s nice when it happens. I shouldn’t wonder why I look forward to it.
Myself
I barely… heck… I don’t understand myself. Why should I expect to understand others? Better yet, why should I expect to understand how I interact with others?
Water
It still pisses me off that I can’t walk on water, even though I know there’s no rational reason I should be able to. Still… it looks like it should be so easy.
Want to walk on water…? Pretty soon it will be as easy as visiting a sporting goods store near you.

[...] I’m impressed. In response to my Water post, some company left topical comment spam… so topical in fact, that I’m wondering whether it should actually be defined as spam or not. [...]
