Now with these posts, I shan't be saying names or linking to particular people, especially when it comes to celebrities (yes, I can't even behave myself around performance professionals) but for this particular mishap, I find she is one of my best friends and it worked with the title. So nerrr.

Anyway, at this point we were only recent acquaintances, and me being me had somehow managed to have a complete brain block when it came to her name, but I liked her enough not to hide under a napkin but to get her attention in 'omerrrgard new friend' excitement.

So to set the scene, quite a compact, dark, funky restaurant with a hot waiter, of whom I had the most gigantic crush on when I was early teens - we even made up a song about him (different story, different time), so its too much of a mission for me to get up and go over to her - which would also disturb her and her, as i know now, parents.

Anyway, without trying to prolong this story, I begin to wave like a manic with a massive smile on my face, body twisted at an awkward angle and the friends beside me looking pretty bemused. This goes on for at least 5 minutes with my friends loosing patience/disowning me and just about everyone in the restaurant except Ruby looking at me. 

Eventually i gain attention, but not from Ruby, from old school crush waiter who rushes over and thinks I need something to help with my veggie thai curry. He looked panicked, I looked panicked, Ruby doesn't look at all.
