I went in last week to get some prints of my photo's. She wasn't in. The guy there said he liked one of my photo's and asked if he could display it in the shop. I said 'yes' - I was quite chuffed !
I told my mam about it (and everybody else lol) and she went in yesterday to see it. She had a chat with the assistant about my photo and I knew my friend (the woman) was back working. I didn't think she knew it was my photo though. This morning I was in the area and I wondered whether I should go in and tell her it was mine. I didn't want anything from the shop. I walked past and looked in and I saw her looking. I went to another shop instead. Anyway I thought 'go for it' and went in. It could have gone badly but it didn't. She burst from the back, happy as hell and said she knew it was my photo. Said it was 'my style' - I laughed and said I didn't think I had a 'style' - we talked for another 5 minutes, about the photo mostly. We just spare jokes at each other, good natured stuff. I left and she said the 'see you real soon' bit.
I walked away with a smile on my face, felt great. Felt a buzz ! Some people have that effect on me, happy people. I am used to miserable, moaning people.
I haven't been in for awhile, no real need to. I remember last time we talked for ages.
I went in today because my Mam wanted some prints. Within 10 seconds I realized she was off, cool and not talkative. (to me anyway)
I stood at machine and just got on with it. This other guy come in and started talking / flirting with her. He offered her a sausage roll at one point. I just kept myself to myself. I went to pay for my stuff, she never said 'bye' so I didn't either.
When I went out I thought 'whatever'
That's why I don't really consider people as 'friends' because one day they talk and the next they don't bother.
