I was sitting infront of the computer doing my ussual computerly things when I suddenly remembered a boy I don't particularly remember.

Anyway, I was at the mall one day with a couple of my friends and a boy out of nowhere (well, nowhere being somewhere that wasn't particularly in my radius of interest at the time) came over to our table and said "Hello." He put three business card sized cards that said "Say Hello." in white font over a black background on our table before he left.

All this happened almost instantaneously. I didn't even know how to respond.

"Hello." He said.
"Huh?" I said.
And the people who were with me at the time just stared. (I don't even remember who they were, really.)

We are all strangers to somebody, right? And in a world where there's 7 billion people it isn't unlikely we brush elbows with many a strangers in our time. I don't know why I was so thrown off by a boy I didn't know approaching me and saying a simple hello.

If you, boy-with-the-hello-cards somehow happened to be reading this "Hello to you too."
