last night, instead of sitting like a lump on the sofa until enterprise started, i decided that i was going to go outside into the gorgeous, lilac-scented evening. i packed up my camera and lip balm, tied up my shoes and headed down to the quay. it was a perfect walk down the hill, past the shops and to the water. i didn’t even mind, too much, that i had to pee like crazy and had to wait for an hour for my bus back up the hill.
while i walked, i kept seeing people with ipods or other mp3 players, earphones clamped onto or stuck into their ears. i found myself very tempted to stop and ask each one i saw “whatcha listening to?”. i think that would be an awesome thing to do one beautiful spring or summer day. i find that most people are rather proud of the music they listen to and like to convert others over to their tastes. personally, if i were such a music-carrying person, i’d happily share my tunes with a pleasantly curious stranger. what do you think?
otherwise, it’s a good day. class tonight, which i still have some reading left to do for. the best news, though, was that seb fontaine cancelled the show at sonar i was supposed to go to tomorrow night. why would i be happy that the show was cancelled, you might ask. well, i didn’t really want to go. not because of seb, but because i agreed to go when marie asked me without actually thinking it through and have been secretly dreading the loomingness of the date ever since.
marie just isn’t the kind of person i want to spend much time with. she’s like this energy suck. she has her moments, but most of the time, i just want her to go away. is that bad? besides that, she’s having this long-distance net.affair with a guy in england and planning on leaving her husband for him. did i mention she has a five year old son? it’s just ugly and, honestly, i don’t like even thinking about the situation, which is difficult since all she talks about is the scottish boy she loves so much.
i’m just thankful the universe saw fit to save me from the engagement. i promise i’ll do something fruitful/fun with the time in thanks!
nice shot, more of these if you have more…
Wow. Marie is one of those oversharing coworkers, isn’t she??
want to know about her impending breast reduction or her battle with endometriosis? *sigh*
Hmm. I still think I win. My coworker’s medication causes anal itching. It’ sright there on the label (okay, in the accompanying paperwork), and she was relieved to see it there.
What DO you say to that?!
lol… a case of the cure bein worse than the disease. Brutal side effect. I’d rather deal with vomiting or blindness than a perpetually itchy arse. Hah. Give your icky coworker my condolences… lol
gosh I hope you never feel like that about me ! :)
Boy yeah I know people like Marie. I’ve spent a lot of energy trying to get that kind of energy sucking negativity out of my life. It’s not always easy, though.
me too. I moved. worked rather well :)
What’s sad is I know what the itchy ass medicine is for, and trust me, the details of that aren’t so pretty either.
