Oh God I'm such an awkward panda. [zomg sudden bolt of lighting idea for Halloween costume ... I can be a PANDA. oh lol wonderful!] Anyway. The faculty member who's our current acting head (poor guy) has from day one been kind of lovely and adorkable with teasing me in a way that doesn't set off my alarm bells, as sometimes happens after a lifetime of bullying. But I ran into him on our way into the parking deck last night and he was being all "what, you're LEAVING? aren't you supposed to sleep in your office so you can be on time for staff meetings?! ha ha ha..." And I made some comeback like "oh, okay I'll start sleeping under my desk ha ha ha..." and then there was a painful moment when we're just standing there and inside my head I'm freaking out about finding new witty banter and he's being all nice and junk and it devolved into oddness and finally we got to the "have a nice night" part of the convo and I could hide in the elevator and bewail my inability to talk to other people!

But then I went home and there was HEAT IN MY HOUSE! And where I thankfully only had to talk to the cat and he doesn't care what I say, so ... :) Someday maybe I'll learn to interact with other huumanz.

On the plus side of things, I have a sort rehearsal tonight after work for a thing my theater company is doing pro bono for my mom. So rehearsal will be good, but then tomorrow will be all kinds of weird as me, my parents, and my theater pals will all be in the same room for possibly the first time ever.

So hey, tune in for more awkwardness updates tomorrow!!
