Reality Check

So I went to the gallery opening today. All it really did for me was remind me of a lot of bad things. Firstly, I didn't get there until 2 hours after the show opened, and secondly, I couldn't get anyone to go with me, just like the last time I had a work in a school show. The friends I would have liked to go with either had work or didn't really give a shit about it. So I was there for a total of maybe 10 minutes, looking at everyone elses work. Also, I haven't been really social with anyone in my current class because almost every day is a work day, and I always have headphones on.
Then the best and the worst thing that happened were the same. Right when I got there, before I went in, a cute girl standing with a bunch of people noticed me and told me she really liked my work. My thought process went like this: "That's nice but who the hell is this girl and how does she know me and how does she know what art is mine?" So while those thoughts were going through my head, I'm sure I was just staring at her, and I finally said (and probably in an unfriendly tone) "Do I know you?". I felt like a fucking idiot the second the words were out of my mouth. And then she told me she was in my class. Then I think I said something like "I didn't recognize you" or "You don't look familiar" or something like that. And then I walked away. I never said thank you or anything. After thinking about all this, I considered apologizing for reacting like such an idiot and thanking her, but I didn't.
I think I just wasn't up for it today. I'm still tired and sick. Tired mostly because I stayed up too late last night painting something new with inks and goache. I'll post it soon.

But really, what the hell are you supposed to say in those situations? I hate it when people say 'nice shirt', what the fuck is the proper response to that? Thanks, I bought it myself. "hey, I'm a guy like me"
