I had one of those days yesterday when little things from another person just irritate me (I hate when I'm trying to concentrate and someone crashes into my seat; drives me crazy).

A day when I wish I could smile more; I'm no good at smiling at strangers, and today's a day when I just want to avoid their attentions, but probably end up with them staring at me more for it ( Read more... )
