Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Repeated Conversation from the past couple days:

Person half a mile away: "...SAM?"
Me: [looking wildly for source of voice] "...Yes?"
Person half a mile away: [now approaching] "OH MY GOD, I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN ISRAEL!"
Me: "Uhhhhhhh"
Person now wildly running towards me with arms wide open coming in for a hug: "OH MY GOOOOOOOD, HOW WAS IT, I MISSED YOU, YOU GOTTA TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!?!?!??!"

At which point I wanna say, "YOU GOTTA TELL ME YOUR FUCKING NAME!"

But instead I just awkwardly accept the hug, even though I pretty much hate people hugging me (except for good friends...and even then I'm an awkward hugger). And I pretend wildly that I actually know the person who is hugging me. Like, "Oh my goodness, wow, it's so crazy to see you again, how has school been for you while I was gone?! How are you?!?!?!"
