at the jail. I had to go down there for work with a woman who does homeless outreach, and to make a long story short, it was NOT an inmate but a public defender aka young attorney who ended up giving me his business card, along with some advice regarding my client. Now, pretty much the only thing I like about lawyers is that they're smart, but public defenders are def. a cut above. It gets weirder, because I keep running into this guy all over town! I first met him a couple months back when I was buying shoes. I walked up to him and asked "do you have these in yellow?" seeing as it was night time and he was dressed in a suit, putting away shoes. I was pretty embarrassed, but we joked for a bit and of course it was awkward city, particularly when he asked what I thought about his loafers. I mean, they had tassels. come on. I also surmised that he is just a flirty, relatively extroverted guy, based on his behavior with other women in the store.
Then I saw him at the craft store with a chick. It looked like they were together. I don't recall if they were holding hands or not, but she was really pretty. I have a feeling he is engaged to this chick and maybe moved here to be with her. It seems like a strange place to go right out of law school.
Anyway, number three was at the jail. I saw him leave and we had a mutual smile/recognition moment. and It took me a second to realize "that's the shoe guy!" We were finishing up our business with the annoying warden and I turned around and he'd come back to say hi. He said "I haven't randomly run into anyone three times since I moved here... I'm starting to think you're following me." And I was like "Well, yeah, you know... Stalking is actually my second job." And I went on to blabber something about "I know I keep looking at you weird but it's not registering, like 'I know this person, but, I don't know this person..." it's confusing. So then he said "well, here, this way the next time we run into eachother, you'll know who I am." and gave me his card. And Teri jumped all over that shit and was like "Meeeredith, I think he was flirting with you..." and I was of course like "yeah, well... I think he has a girlfriend..." to which she replied "well, maybe they're not that serious, or maybe he's looking for someone else..." so I was of course totally twitterpated for a while.
My fun was most certainly reduced upon learning that my MOTHER knows him. He just joined choir, apparently. She said he is friends with some other silly lawyers at her rich-whisk-E-Palian church, and is probably much older than he looks. He looks very young though, 25 maybe. I made her promise not to talk to him or anyone else about it.
I mean, he would know my mom. He would. he WOULD. Anyway she said he's probably over thirty, which is pretty much over my cutoff. that's a pretty big age difference. And like I said, I think he is engaged but just a flirt. Anyway, it's a good story.

ooOOOoo! You don't mention if he was cute or not, but you should TOTALLY got out with him. A little male attention would do you good.
well, I might. assuming he's not engaged or something. I'm not into breaking people up.
