Sunday: On Awkwardness



Today may have been the most awkward day of my life here thus far.

Zax and I went to his friend Ivy’s flat for supper, because she wanted to set me up with a flatmate of hers. The dinner aspect was fine, the food and company were both enjoyable. However, the after the dinner portion was really uncomfortable for me. Martina, the girl I was to be set up with, and I were essentially locked in the kitchen for over an hour after the meal with a large grouping of people waiting right outside. We didn’t really know each other and so being tossed to the lions like that was a little off-putting, to say the least.

We were slightly at a loss for what to say, and I’m afraid I think I left a really poor impression of myself with her. I still hadn’t recovered from the last two days/night’s activities, and started to yawn after 45 minutes or so into our enforced confinement. So, I'm pretty sure I offended her when I truly didn't mean to.
