Ice cream break
I'm going to sound like a clueless moron, but I saw CK today. Was at the main library, checking out a book and there he was, among the reference volumes. He came out and talked to me and said he was just on his way out. I kinda smiled; all I could think of was putting my pinkies in those dimples. I was nuts. I almost missed him asking me if I wanted some ice cream. We ended up on a bench outside, eating ice cream cones he'd bought us from 7-11. Number one, I am a sucker for ice cream. Number two, if it had been a date, it would've been exactly the kind of date I'd always wanted. And number three, most importantly, we got to talk and he gave me (or it seemed like) his undivided attention. I like that - when someone really seems to listen to me when we talk. I don't know, lately I feel like I've been talking to myself most of the time and that's insane. I seem to be the source of way too much noise and most of it, nonsensical. It was just nice to see positive feedback. We didn't really talk about anything substantial; just our favorite flavors of ice cream, our favorite toppings, his thesis progress and how 7-11 manages to scout so many prime locations. I realized crazily that I barely knew this person, but I felt so comfortable with him. Overall, it was the sweetest twenty minutes I've ever spent with an almost-stranger. 
Final thought: Other people are mirrors for our personalities.

One of the things I have to have when people talk to me is their undivided attention. I can't stand the "uh huh... uh huh... *watches bird flying overhead*" Drives me batty!

I know - there's no greater annoyance than knowing someone is ignoring you! :) You and I are in the same boat when it comes to that.
