I've Just Seen a Face...

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place where we just met
she's just the girl for me
and I want all the world to see we've met
Mm mm mm mm mm mm

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
and I'd have never been aware
but as it is I'll dream of her tonight
La la la la la la

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
me back again

I have never known the like of this
I've been alone and I have missed things
and kept out of sight
for other girls were never quite like this
Da da da da da da

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
me back again
Yeah, pa pa pa pa

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
me back again

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place where we just met
she's just the girl for me
and I want all the world to see we've met
Mm mm mm mm mm mm

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
me back again
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
me back again
Oh, falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
me back again

Man, oh man. I just met saw someone I really, really want to get to know. Like, seriously. I was singing The Beatles' "I've Just Seen A Face" all the way back to the room.

So, I'm sitting in Beth's room, helping her install Ubuntu on her Gateway, as I had promised. (w00t! One more convert!) Out of the corner of my eye, I see this girl walk past. Slim, kinda short (est. 155cm or thereabouts), long black hair...ooh!

She passed too quickly for me to get more of a glance, so I get back to work on the Gateway. A few minutes later, she walks back past, and stops to talk to the girls across the hall. Ooh...heart of mine, what wonders have you thus revealed? She is beautiful, a vision, a flawless algorithm in constant time. I was a bit distracted, and had to retry a step of the installation three times before I remembered to check a box I had, um, missed...(Hint: Don't try to partition a hard drive while it's mounted and you're otherwise occupied...) Oh, man...

Yes, friends, Andrew Grant Meyer has just, as of thirteen-thirty-four and twenty-one seconds this thirtieth day of March, 2008, actually noticed a girl for the first time. Like, I had never really, you know, noticed a girl that way. I mean, yeah, they're female, and I can appreciate, but I wasn't really ever interested on that level. But now, well, wow. I suppose it seems silly, a college freshman nearing the end of his first year just now finding a real attraction in a woman.

Now, what does the newly-emerged noticer-of-women do with his attention captured thus? He blinks, looks at the computer screen, and proceeds to finish the world's fastest install of Ubuntu (came to around 7:55, not including the multiple disk defrags and cleanups we did first), after which, when he looks up again, the girl is gone.

I will find her again and figure out if the difficulty in talking to women so oft shown in movies as being related to attraction actually is. I've never had an issue with that before, but, as discussed, I also haven't really ever been seriously attracted either.

[2022 edit] hi, it is me from the future. This was a really...weird...time in my life and I was super creepy around Brittany and...yeah. I was dumb and horny and should have known better.[/edit]
