i decided that this was the day that i would cave and buy a lunch bag. ewww. i hate the sound of that, i'll call it a lunch box, hmm i already have an actual lunch box that i keep my banking in. so, yes i bought myself a new lunch vehicle to cart my food back and forth to work in without worry of spillage. i've been using an old minotaur bag, but let me tell you, it's getting rather grimy. yuck. for some reason my new l.v. (lunch vehicle) makes me feel like i've reached a whole new level of adulthood. AND like i've come full circle to childhood again. it's funny that this is significant to me because it means i've moved past my adolescence and simply recognize that having a lunch vehicle just makes good sense! and doesn't mean i'm a sell-out. frig, if ANYTHING makes me a sell-out, its that i work for the man.
i received an invitation for a work dinner on thursday night. i'm not going because i already had plans that night and i'm not going to bump them simply because my boss' boss is in town and has invited us to keep him company. he apologized that the invitation was short notice, so i think he won't mind, but other people are giving me a hard time. it's frustrating. it's not that i don't like them, it's just that my free time is limited as it is, and i'd like to do something else for a change.
i'd just like to take a moment to discuss posers. yes, posers. people who pretend to be something their not. i've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and i can't comprehend it. if you admire something so much that you want to be like that, than just do it. or if you're pretending to be something you think others want you to be, it's not worth your time! i just can't understand why anyone would bother. now, i realize that everyone to some extend pretends. i think sometimes i pretend to be a little more "with it" than i am. sometimes i just nod and pretend that i know what people are talking about. i've got to tell you, i have no idea what "emo" means. i actually think i'm not as cool as people think i am.
in light of my declaration that people should simply be who they are, i have decided to stop pretending that i use my brita filter. i drink tap water and i have no problem with that.
to my utter excitement melody just called to tell me that she's engaged. i'm so... yay! i'm excited and it's really nice because their really smart and are approaching marriage really maturely. upon reflection she is my first long-term friend to get married. yes, there've been a few from high school who i'm not in touch with, but this is melody. MELODY!
turning away from the light,
becoming adult,
turning into myself.

Isn't Emo the red furry guy from sesame street? oh, no, that's elmo. Sorry i couldn't be more help.
why don't you wiki it? i mean, if you care.
I wish I could stop pretending to not care that the creepy janitor follows me everywhere all the time. I really want to tell him to respect my personal space. He's upgraded from standing close to leaning on me. creep-pee!
I always drink tap water and if any of you are at my house thinking you get Britta-ed water...sorry to burst your bubble. I got rid of the Britta jug when my mother pointed out to me that after a year of not changing the filter.... eeek! Michelle
i hear ya michelle. i just decided it was taking up space in my fridge for no good reason.
oh and beck... i don't really care that much, it was just an example of something i might pretend to understand if it came up in conversation.
i'm REALLY sorry to hear about the continuation of your janitor problem. yikes!!
When Vincent was living with us he got us a handy little Brita filter that attatches right to our tap. No more jugs taking up space in the fridge. You do have to remember to change the filter though, but it has a little light that comes on to remind you when it needs to be done.
