Random Memories
The site http://www.ilikeyourjacket.com reminded me of a girl I met once. Actually, I think I met her once-and-a-half...
Way back when I first moved out to Utah, I was attending BYU. On my way to class one day, I walked past a pretty girl wearing an apricot-colored jacket. We smiled at each other, she obviously wanted me to say something, but... my mind was blank. (This is a problem I used to have often. I've since solved it for all but border cases. That is not the point of the story though.) I kept walking.
About two years later I met a girl through some friends. After getting to know her for a few weeks, I was over at her apartment and I noticed, hanging in her closet... an apricot colored jacket.
Me: Looks at the jacket. O_O!!! Looks at the girl.
Her: Looks confused. Sees me looking at the jacket. Looks at me again. "Oh my gosh that was YOU?"
"THAT WAS YOU?!"
"Why didn't you say anything to me?! I wanted you to say something to me!"
"So did I! I couldn't think of anything to say!"
Laughs all around, especially at the confused people around us who just witnessed a conversation, finally finished, that failed to start two years earlier.
