perfect flaws

hmmmm.

so i just worked out that without the pickle, the grilled-cheeze sandwich i had for dinner only cost me 33¢. not bad!

it was funny on sunday, (leave it to guys to point this out) jason asked if i've been up in my attic yet. i hadn't so he climbed up and had a look. its really neat up there, and super hot it could be my own personal sauna. and tim mentioned that its quite difficult for men to use my toilet because the roof is sloped in the bathroom, which i found very amusing.

today i had a funny conversation with dave ferrence. it went like this:
dave: when i moved to thunder bay when i was three, i couldn't speak any english...
les: wait... you couldn't speak english when you were three?? what did you speak??
dave: ukrainian.
les: OH! i didn't know you lived in the ukraine.
dave: i didn't.
les: where did you move from then?
dave: winnipeg.
les: (very puzzled)

so tell me... what's flirting?? what's the purpose?? i don't get it. i flirt. i can usually tell when i'm being flirted with. but what i don't get is why do we do it? its to get the person's attention right? its to make them think we're interested in them, so they in turn become interested in us right? its weird. quite frankly, its dumb. knickers sent me off to the TMF yesterday (our test and maintenance facility where we have a test track and stuff) to hang this 20ft banner. i needed help, she told me "find some of the students, flirt with them a little, get it done". so that's what i did, well i don't think i flirted i hung out with them for a bit, regardless i got it done. then today. i was on my lunch-time walk (from our building to the TMF back to our building), i read on the way. i'm good at that. i saw the students over at the TMF when i was passing. on the way back i could hear their truck driving up behind me, i waited for them to stop. they did. we talked for a bit, as they drove off i giggled to myself at their predictability. well anyways, i smell trouble. i have a tendency to fall for assholes. i won't worry though. if they try anything i'll just use my "i'm extremely religious and don't put-out" card, it usually does the trick...

man, i love this weather. it makes me as happy as a lesley in summer. wait! that's me!! perfect :) today i was standing in my sloped-ceiling-ed bathroom putting in my contacts when a breeze came through my peculiar window. it made me smile. then i smiled more that something so simple could make me so happy.

the trouble was it wouldn't have worked if i was pretending. never does.

Something simple that makes me incredibly happy is walking across my kitchen floor in bare feet that aren't freezing.

maple keys make me happy...
I was sitting in my backyard last night and the wind was blowing the keys off the tree and it sounded like it was raining. i looked up in dark sky and they were falling all around me....

see... I love winter the way you love summer... when it's nice and cold and the nice cold breeze sort of steals the breath out of your mouth.

now I just feel like I'm being steam-cleaned all the time, except it backfires and makes me dirty and wrinkled.

yelsel said...

perhaps we're beyond being seperated at birth, maybe we are 2-sides of the same coin??????

where are you anyway? are you still in whitby? don't forget my errand.

dawna said...

i thought they were helicopters, too.

I had technical difficulties and had to abort the mission. next time.

I like the two-sides-of-coin thing. we're made of the same stuff, but different. you have antlers, and I have a crown. or else you're a loon and I have a crown... hahaha

yelsel said...

hmmm, i have antlers? well i guess that's better than being elizabeth.

its ok about the errand. maybe i'll do it myself... *raising left-eyebrow*
