The idea came to me last week when I was encountered by three different people in the hallways of Art Center. Each one of them stood awkwardly close for a casual conversation... only to move in awkwardly closer and closer as the conversation continued.
I tried several techniques to normalize the space between us, but as it turns out, personal space invaders are also NOT afraid of making rapid adjustments to get right back in the game! Each one of these personal space invasions ended in a surprise grand finale! One grabbed my hand, the other massaged my shoulders then felt my beard and the last one fixed my hair so it wasn't in my eyes anymore. Two students, one teacher and one very confused me.
Who were these people and how did they get to be the way they are? They seem to be living happy fulfilling lives. Maybe I could be one of them some day??

Hilarious, yet disturbing! Why don't people get the hint when you keep backing away?!
Ah, I love a good belly laugh!
