"Bethany - what a pretty name!"

I forgot to tell about my funny-weird story at the Aquarium from today.

I was at the touch pool, but we got a complaint from a visitor that people were touching the animals in the Aviary. I was the 3rd person at the touch pool so I went to go check. There was almost NO one in the aviary and I talked with the 3 volunteers in there already and they said they told these people to stop, but they kept touching and they kept saying to stop. Anyway, the problem wasn't there anymore so I ended up helping a few visitors in there. Well, this one guy was asking questions and I was helping him and Ross also came over to help. So Ross wanders away and I'm there and the guy looks at me and says, "you have a very pretty name." I must admit it's not uncommon that someone compliments me on my name, so I said, "thank you," thinking the convo was finished. Then he keeps standing there and says, "it's a very lovely name. I like it a lot." I'm starting to creep out a little now and, again, say, "thanks" and start to walk away. He didn't look like he was going to move anytime soon, it was weird. It was also weird because the guy was older (mid-40's?) and I'm pretty sure he had a daughter.

The funny thing is I think most times I get compliments about my name from males. Even on-line a lot of the guys would say, "I like your name. I'm putting it down on my list of potential daughter names." No joke. *shrugs*

With that, I'm off to sleep since my external HD FINALLY mounted and I've been backing up my files.
