After avoiding the mall for a good two weeks(?), I finally succumbed to its allure today. It wasn’t too bad. We found parking almost right away and it was much less crowded than I thought. Only twice during my time at the mall did I feel a little uncomfortable. 1. This girl at Sears walked right up to my face, ” Ma’am! There’s free gift wrapping upstairs!” I looked at her and tried to decide wether or not the information called for her to get this close to me. Nope. I think she even surprised herself a little, so we looked at each other for three seconds, then I said, “thank you”. 2. I tried to get through The Bay but there were so many people standing in my way. It was like I was in an alternate universe where people don’t know the rules. Normally people stay out of each other’s way, but during Christmas at the mall, they forget about the bubbles. Why?! PEOPLE! Remember your bubbles and get out of mine!  But all in all, I was quite happy to be in the mall after being secluded for so long.

Jess joined us for lunch today. I haven’t talked to her for so long. Although I am not up for online dating, I am quite fascinated by her stories. All these men giving her so much attention, lining up for some time of hers… it is so interesting! I just can’t imagine how many “lonely” people there are out there and how many people are taking initiatives to seek love. It’s kind of heart warming to know this. Haha… not that it’s heart warming to know people are lonely. It’s just nice to know so many people are looking to love and be loved.

Jess is taking me to a work function of hers. We are gonna wine and dine~ I was just going to enjoy my night with her, but today she’s told me that I have to dress up and there are people she wants me to meet. I see. Thank goodness I am impressive by nature… “If you wear jeans, I am going to kill you!” She warned me. Apparently there are many “cute white boys” at her work who she would not date because she only dates Asian guys. “There’s this guy, and this guy, and this guy, and this guy…” she counted… “How much do you expect me to accomplish in one night, Jessamin?!” I find it endearing that she is so eager to find me a man though. I am just going to drink my wine, and have a good time with her. Sometimes I do wish I am one of those girls who have the power to make people fall head over heels in love with them. What do they do with such magic? I am sure it is annoying in its own ways… hmm… probably not… hehe…

I think some flirting would be healthy for my self esteem. I haven’t felt sexy in awhile. So I shall flirt away when there are worthy opponents(opponents? is this a battle? well, needless to say, I will triumph~).

That’s enough rambling for now… I am in a good mood, am listening to Jack Johnson, sitting by the window and hoping for some snow. I am going to practice cello again, bike, shower and head to sleep.
