Lot's of lonely people in the world but I don't like it when people ignore the signs you're giving off when I'm not in the mood --- writing in a notebook, reading a book.

It annoys me! I generally do NOT want to talk to anyone if I'm out alone...that's why I'm ALONE! I can just see me wolfing that pie down and resenting that I didn't get to slow down and enjoy it because of some other person "invading" my space. Pet Peeve.
