Barnes & Noble

So I think I just need to stop going to Barnes and Noble on Saturday nights. You all probably saw my last post about the spill and stare fiasco. Well tonight I went to give it another try and though I didn't spill my coffee (YAY ME!) I did get stared at. by a young man...now before all you wonderful people start getting any ideas let me reiterate the word YOUNG man. We're talking freshman in college to high school. I know that he was staring because his girl friend's friend commented on it which made awkwardness all around due to the way she said it and the fact that we all were in close proximity due to the tiny half wall that is supposed to bring some semblance of privacy. This comment of course meant all involved are now staring at me and all I can think to do is give a smile with the inflection that says ...really?...Now since you are all my friends you will probably say I'm pretty...well I wasn't tonight. I am as grungy as grungy can be tonight. So I ask you, what gives? Also do I emit some type of flashing sign when at Barnes and Noble with a giant neon arrow that reads. "Stare at me and watch hilarity and awkwardness ensue." Because then I would understand and avoid such places. Thoughts?
