I'm interested in a guy I saw at the bank. Ie: he works at the bank. As a teller. Behind a glass window. For some reason, I equate talking to people behind glass windows to prisoners criminals. I mean, minus the fact that we don't have to talk through a phone.

My main problem, I think, is how do you tell someone may be interested in you from behind a glass partition?? The only thing he's ever said that even remotely makes me think he's a little bit (ie: the fractional equivalent of .00001 out of a trillion, haha) interested in me is as follows:

*after completing a check deposit he hands me the receipt*
him: is there anything else?
me: nope, thanks.
him: you sure about that?
me: absolutely! wait, now I'm not... is there anything else? Wait, no, thanks... bye.

So then I left shaking my head because he made me think I had missed something. I also went in a month later w/ my mother and she proceeded to embarrass me past the point of mortification! We were the first 2 customers in the bank (we arrived even before the bank manager!) and she asked him if they had a branch in Baltimore. He then was like "Baltimore is in what state?" Now, as soon as he said it, I just wanted to melt into a puddle and sort of leave (a la Alex Mack, I know you remember that!), but I couldn't, so I just walked to the nearest chair and sat down carefully trying NOT to make eye contact because I knew what was going to happen next.

My mom then proceeded to say, and I quote "Maryland. You should know where Baltimore is! You're young, you can't be too far out of school!" Yeahhhhhh. She then asked another gal if there was a branch in Atlanta, and the girl didn't know where Atlanta was which wasn't really helping my mom's perception of it's bank employees. (rightfully so? I like to think the people dealing with our money should know the 50 states which comprise our United States, ya dig?) And at that point I just wanted to go up the street to Starbucks because it was apparently going to be a long morning, lol.

But anyways, I digress... so now I can't go back because I'm slightly embarassed. Still. That incident was around the middle of December, haha.

Hmm... ideas?

Let's see... I'm single. Yeah, there you go. That pretty much sums me up. At least according to the IRS, lol. I don't even know why... but I do know that if I hear something one more time along the lines of "you're a great girl, why don't you have a boyfriend" I'll freak out. They say that if you love something to let it go. But Beyonce says (Bey's my girl... fierce as hell!) that if you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it. It's hard for guys all around, I guess. Confusion! I get that. But come on, give a girl a break! Anyways, I think I'm going to use this blog to sympathize/empathize/apathize(is this a word? lol) with other single people or those in relationships. OR, to ask for the same from you all. Because after all, I'm single. In the eyes of society (and maybe my parents) I'm half a person. I'm unfulfilled. I can't possibly make decisions on my own. Pfft. So yeah, here I go... wish me luck. Thanks!

My find of the week:
Orowheat mini loaf bread. It may seem like a small and inconsequential thing to you coupled people, but for me it's pretty much a godsend. I'm trying to be more green and less wasteful so when I saw this I practically hugged the stranger next to me. Now I can use my normal amount of bread without knowing I'm not going to eat it all. Or worse, stuffing my would-be little chipmunk cheeks just to avoid wasting food. I love Orowheat!!!

Are there any made-for-single products you fancy?
