The second encounters with people are always nicer. You've reached some sort o comfort zone by then. I know I mentioned this before, but I keep meeting new and interesting people, and I can't help but have the same feeling every time. :)
Speaking of mentioning people, I finally got to know a little more about a woman that comes to cardio funk on Thursdays. You know how it is when you see the same person every time, and you make small talk and such, but you never take the initiative to find out their name? That's what this situation was like. Anywho, it's cool to make a new friend!
On a different note, I'm gonna have a more blunt response to those that ask for change. I was walking out of Tako Sushi today, and a guy asked me if I had any change to spare. I said "Sorry" and kept walking. He then replied, "What is that supposed to mean?" Next time I'll tell them "Hell no!" Maybe they'll get the picture then!
