Contrary to whatever people might think of me, I really don't think I'm a people person. I'm really shy so I try to stay away from crowds and definitely away from strangers. That just makes me uncomfortable.
Of course, my officemates and friends would be the first ones to disagree, as I'm pretty assertive at work and just laugh at all their jokes -- corny or not. Well, maybe that's my alter ego coming out, for I know I won't survive in the corplorate world if I remain shy and timid.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I don't hang around people a lot. I don't meet new people a lot, and I'm usually not the first to strike up a conversation if I were seated next to a stranger, making me seem "suplada" (stand-offish).
So whenever I have unusual or unexpected interactions with people, I tend to question them. Like why did I meet that person? Why did I get along with that person? I don't meet a lot of people so I don't really get along with new acquaintances a lot either. It's then not very often that I ask these questions.
This is one instance when I'm asking those questions. I don't pay attention to the people around me when I go out -- to the mall, restaurant, or whatever. I don't remember faces, and I don't like to look or stare because for some reason, they sense me staring (even when they have their backs to me...weird!) and that just makes for an embarassing situation.
Anyway, Glimpse is someone I remember seeing in church. Glimpse must be the only stranger I bump into every now and then -- well, not really "bump" into, but someone I remember from church and someone I actually recognize. Hmm, that's new for me because as I've said, I don't pay attention to the people around me. And I haven't really seen Glimpse upfront - mostly just out of the corner of my eye. Glimpse seems to be giving me glances, too.
Of course, it's just my curiosity going on overdrive, because for a stranger, Glimpse is becoming quite familiar. And so again, I ask why?
