i had melissa over for dinner tonight. it made me feel like such a grown-up. cooking, especially cooking for other people, is not something i'm comfortable doing. but sometimes i make some nice little meals and i think to myself "this was simple, i could do this for a guest sometime". so i took the plunge and had the lovely lissa for dinna.
before she arrived the telephone rang long-distance. my call display showed a 1-877 number. i don't know what compelled me to answer it, but it was a lady calling from the government of ontario conducting a survey and was wondering if i was able to participate. i agreed. a lot of it was about energy consumption, green-house gases and yogurt (i know, that part puzzled me too. they wanted me to list all the brands of yogurt i can think of. this was difficult since i have an aversion to yogurt and think it's texture is like mucus). anyway, i really like doing surveys. they're like tests that i know all the answers to. i feel like a genius! i found it very interesting that the first thing that came to mind to the question "what can the government do to reduce green-house gases?" was "increase mass/public transit". haha, that's my bbd blood kicking in. clearly, i'm sold on my company.
you're insecure, but that's no excuse.

Well, the increas mass/public transit is TRUE, even if you may be biased because of your job.
On CBC a couple of weeks ago, I saw a guy in TO who was on a 'carbon strike' and only traveled via sustainable transportation.
ya, sustainable transportation is the new big thing. i'm hearing about that all the time. it's kind of neat, but random since i'd never heard of it a year ago.
Yogurt is the only food that makes me literally wretch and/or gag. My body won't allow the stuff in.
I think you're onto something with the mucuous comparison. Mucuous is supposed to go the other way.
I mean mucous.
totally!! it's kind of nice to hear someone else say that!! i felt like i was the only one in on the fact that yogurt is gag-worthy.
