Adventures in my apartment complex!
Adventure 1 - relatively low key but I sat next to a woman about my age on the shuttle home and we both pulled out books to read. At the same time, we both lowered our books and exclaimed "I love that author!" at each other. (She was reading Riptide by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child and I was reading The Protector's War by S.M. Stirling.) We proceeded to babble a little about the books in question before falling back into our own books, content in the knowledge that we had kindred spirits on the shuttle.
Adventure 2 - I'm heading down the l-o-o-ong hallway to my apartment when I notice one of my neighbors just kind of ... hanging out in his doorway. I've met him before, we've said hi but this is a bit odd. We say hello, I assume he's waiting for someone and make it to my door. As I'm fishing out my keys, I look to my right at the fire exit and there's a blob in front of the fire exit.
I blink.
The blob blinks back and smushes in on itself.
Suddenly laughing, I turn back, raising my voice to be heard "Sir, are you looking for your cat?" At which point, he trots down the hallway, calling out her name and she starts to slink towards him - half running in that "Oh my god, THERE YOU ARE" way but also "I'm totally meant to be DON'T PICK ME UP CLING TO THE CARPET WITH MY CLAWS!" sort of deal. He's thanking me as he pries her off the carpet and I can't stop giggling as she glares at me over his shoulder. Gorgeous, sleek silver girl with orange eyes.
