tonight as i drove melinda down to the goat she says to me "sometimes i do stupid things, but not usually. i don't usually like to stalk men in they're workplace of work". hahaha. melinda is an infatuated crackhead. i love it. sometimes its great being a girl. sometimes i feel like "lets all be retarded together". hahahaha.
man, i was up sooo late last night that when i woke up i felt like i'd been kicked in the stomach repeatedly. i was not in good shape. i've got to go to bed early tonight. i'll aim for 9 in hopes of being in bed by 9:30, maybe 10 at the latest.
i'm trying this new thing... i'd like to respond more truthfully when people say "hi, how are you?". not like i've been lying, but i don't want to just let "fine" roll off my tongue without any thought. on the other hand a brutally honest answer isn't appropriate either. a couple weeks ago, april passed a man in the hall and did the whole "how are you" thing and he was like "oh, i'm doing better. went through a rough patch with the missus, she almost kicked me out..." she was stunned. not exactly what you'd expect. i'm going to chose a happy medium, like today for example "hi lesley, how are you?" "oh i'm alright, feeling a little tired but not bad. how bout you?" see? that also expands the conversation some because they can say "oh, why are you tired?"
my sister is always saying "i don't understand how you can have a blog. saying all that personal stuff on the internet..." i've tried to explain it to her. and have also pointed out its only as personal as you want it to be. perhaps i'm too open sometimes. man, i think i'm in some kind of commenting drought right now. where are all the commenters?? i'm lonely for my commenters... man, i am sooo overly dramatic. is everyone as melodramatic as me? melinda is, but since when is mindy the social norm. i think i'm doomed.
well i should go. i have some loafing to do before i go to bed.
i'm so glad that i'm an island now.

hey les, i agree that it's better to not let "fine" roll off your tongue without a second thought.. i started trying that sometime ago and i feel much more authenic now... i've also tried to stop using "i'm stressed" when i really mean "i'm busy"... makes a big difference in my stress level :)
i can't explain why i have a blog either... but it feels good, doesn't it?
happy loafing!
sorry chiquita! I fell off the wagon.
I still read you though!
I promise I'll do better, just don't cut me from the team, coach!

I also (when I remember) try to answer how are you somewhat honestly. Yay for us!
i could be a lot worse. but i think you've messed up my quote. what i really said was i don't like to stalk people at all ever. you've made it sound like for this one time only i am enjoying stalking a man at his workplace.
for the record i aim to not go when he is working. i have a laying low style. work with me.
i've been single for so long that is totally acceptable that i am giddy. i am a lady in waiting. well sortof...
you guys are so awesome!!!
i'm so lucky to have friends like you :)
don't you wonder if people actually want to hear how you are actually feeling? i would say the majority of peeps just use it as a more engaging hello.
loafing is so good!
melissa!! are you saying... oh wait. i totally misunderstood what you were saying. i thought you ment "why do you share personal things on your blog, don't you wonder if people actually care?" then i re-read your comment. i see. yes, i suppose your right ;)
ya you are officially doomed.
melinder... i very much enjoy your new "doo-doo-doo" stage. i hope it lasts forever!! well actually, that may be a little much, but we won't know unless we try huh?
i just loved that you said "workplace & work". it was like "aww, her mind is all cloudy" its cute.
i love how enraged you are about it. everyone needs to get fired up about something from time to time. it keeps things interesting.
