desaparecidos - survival of the fittest

wow. the past few days have been insanely full of.. everything. lots has happened. today's story is just the cherry on top.
i woke up in the green recliner, uncomfortable and fully-rested. chris was passed out on the couch and i couldn't remember what time i fell asleep. it was a good start! the whole morning was slow, everyone just kind of wandered around and picked at things. tuey, brandon, and luke all left at noon, chris and i cleaned up the place and chris took the box of empty bottles to throw into the woods. i actually went for a run, surprise surprise! took a shower, got dressed and all that jazz. i don't know what time i left the house, but i had a few things to take care of, so i drove off. returned pat's cell, returned library books, mall, the usual stuff.
now, here's where i'm at the story part. i already called tuey and told her all this, since it was just an unusual event. as i was walking toward suncoast, one of the people at those kiosk things pulled me over to show me some herbal neck pillow. it was weird. and you know how they talk people into buying things by sucking up, right? well i figured that's what the guy was doing when he started asking me my name, where i work and all that. i got away after a while by promising that i'd keep the pillows in mind when i had more money. went to suncoast and bought my movies, then headed out. and the guy from the kiosk chased me down! seriously, on the curb outside the mall, he was yelling at me to stop and when he came up to me he said something like "have you ever just seen someone and felt a kind of jolt go through your body?" i don't remember exactly everything he said, but it was cheesy stuff like "i saw you walking by and i don't know, it's never really happened before, i just had to talk to you." i didn't know whether to take this guy seriously or not, but i figured he was just trying to pick up some chick, right? so i asked him how old he was (24) and told him i was 16. but that didn't scare him off! he just started saying how i look older than that and that he'd at least like to get to know me. he kept saying that i should come back sometime and talk to him and maybe we could go out for lunch.
anyway, i still don't know whether he was serious or not. and while i have no interest in the guy at all (blah), i'm still all tingly. it's not every day that someone abandons their job to chase you down and tell you something like that. someone saw me and was struck dumb? amazing. i feel special, like maybe, after all, there is something unique about me that makes me worth knowing. i'm reading that again and it sounds weird to me. but see, a lot of people that i know, it's because i saw them and i was like "hey, that person looks cool." for some reason or another, something about them stood out. and it's weird to think that maybe i stand out, too.
anyway, i've been sitting around since i got home (ran into evan at qfc, it was cool to talk to him again). sarah's bored out of her mind so i'm going to go pick her up and watch girl, interrupted. maybe i'll write more about the past couple days later, maybe not.
