Description
Abby: “James? Uh… James? You seem… funny."
Abby: “Not just funny, but something else, something you never are… I know, pleasant! You seem actually pleasant… that’s not like you, ya know?”
Abby: “And wait a minute…” *Sniff-sniff!* “You smell pleasant, too! You usually smell like comic book ink, steak, and hate, but not now. Whoa, actually, you smell like a girl on your shirt… James, did a girl give you a hug or something?”
Abby: *Sniff-sniff!* “Holy kibble, two girls! You had physical contact with not one, but two females of your species today?”
Abby: “This is amazing, I’ve never seen you like this! I mean, you’re always smirking when bad things happen to people you don’t like, or a country gets bombed or something, but this is different.”
Abby: “Who was it? Come on, who? Tell me! Arf!“
Abby: “Aw, James! Arf-arf! Tell me who put you in such a good mood just by seeing them! Please?”
Abby: “Okay, this is officially scary; I’m gonna go hide under the bed with the kitties until you’re back to your grumpy, mean old self again…”

That was the scene two days ago when I got home from shopping with my sister and brother-in-law. For some reason I decided to actually go out in public when it wasn’t absolutely necessary, and was rewarded for my unusual behavior by running into two young ladies I used to work with. Bumped into them as I was about to leave the very store in which they used to work with me, actually. I’ve missed them, and it was great getting to chat with them for a bit.
They’re both also on dA, and I’m not going to say who they are, but just coming into contact with one of them (she has to know roughly how I feel about her!) after missing her for a couple years was enough to remind me that life isn’t all bad, that there is beauty and are positive forces out there. As I am basically a hermit (my room is looking more and more cave-like by the day, now that I think about it), I guess I forgot about those things, but seeing her was a reminder that the entire planet doesn’t completely suck all of the time. The fact that she’s not at all hard to look at didn’t hurt, either…
Snap out of it before I knock you out of it, ya pansy! Yeesh, a scrawny dame like that, making ya go all pink ponies ‘n butterflies…
Yeah, enough of this--time to become a bitter clinger and hatemonger again. Where did I put that copy of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades, and I wonder if I ought to check YouTube to see if Ann Coulter gave a speech lately…
Before I give Abby (the pup in the picture, if you didn‘t know) a playful boot to the rump and start writing a story where the Crimson Conservative twists the heads off some foreigners, let me thank those young ladies for how they made me feel, and doing it just by being themselves.
Comments welcome, but before you ask if the above scene was based on reality, let me tell you that yes, it was; people who know me were probably wondering if I was stoned or something for the rest of the day…

My crazy little dog loves positive comments, so thank you (she'd still rather have you rub her tummy, though).

Sorry it took a while to respond to this mystery... but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth at you.

Yeah, it was very cool to see them (and check out the new tattoos one of them got since I saw her last…).

Oh, I meant it was cool when I saw her tattoos… odds are you don’t know her, huh? You’d like one of the tats, though; it was a mean looking werewolf.

What kind of dog is she, again? My wife thinks she might be an Australian Cattle dog...

Abby: “I’m a good doggie, that’s what kind I am!”
That‘s debatable, but it’s a fact that she’s a red tri Australian shepherd.

That’s certainly how I was feeling when I ran into them.
For some reason, your comment reminded me of that “a friend with weed is a friend indeed” saying.

My friends with weed, invited me out for a ride. I didn't smoke because of asthma. They were driving crazy and a cop saw us. Unbeknownst to me, they put the weed in the pocket of my jacket when the bunch of us got pulled over and the cop ordered every one out of the car. The cop shined a flashlight in my eyes and told me to stand away from the rest. He patted them all down very thoroughly. It was cold so I put my hands in my pockets and found the weed. I almost fainted. But the cop never searched me. Not finding anything on the others, the cop said, "Go home. I don't want to see you guys out again tonight. Give me the keys." He gave them to me and said, "You're driving, the rest of these bums are impaired." So I don't think much of that saying.
