We are the People Our Parent's Warned Us About
I know what you are all saying "Ahhhhhhh! The fucking bitch is FINALLY updating."
I could provide you with a million excuses as to why you haven't read an email or an entry from me in a long time. But I won't. Just because.
Sooo...last week I was waiting for the bus (which is what I do with most of my awake time). This lady came up to me and started jabbering away about her personal life, her relationship goals, her bastard children, her family's lack of a solid future, her plans on how she was going to kick her son out of the house, her encounters with authorities, her inability to hold a job, her "stupid" daughter who "wrongly" thought smoking could lead to cancer, what she was going to have for dinner (etc.) You know typical shit you'd say to a complete stranger who was waiting for a bus beside you. The entire time I had my headphones on and was giving her dirty glances because she was ruining my Motorpyscho grooving time. I did the whole nod during the appropriate times thing just to be polite but all it did was encourage her.
Then she expected me to speak. She asked me if I was done high school yet. The question took me by surprise. Do I really look that young????? (I'm 25 years old). I decided it wasn't a good time to say, "Not only am I finished high school but I also completed TWO University degrees." (considering her son was my age and had recently decided to go back and finish his Grade 11)
You know, I'm really impressed with my ability to know when NOT to say things. It is one of my talents that I pull out and use when sober.
Finally the bus came and the talking ended. I let her go on the bus first just so she wouldn't sit beside me. Another one of my special talents I've acquired when wanting to avoid annoying bus riders.
The other day I ran into her again waiting for the bus but this time she had found another victim's ear. I felt used. She sluts around from one ear to another. She had her way with my ear before so she moved onto someone else's lobe. Whore.
I have an interview & exam on Monday for a promotion. I'm pretty sure I'll get it because they are offering a lot of positions. But last time I went through one of these competitions I was ranked first place. So there is a lot of pressure (in terms of my pride) to rank near the top again.
Tonight Sarah and I will see Broken Social Scene. Weeeeee!
Monday = The Dears
Tuesday = Dirty Three
(This afternoon could = Sarah Slean but its geared towards kids so I'll pass).
Oh yes. Laura & Erin both got into schools far away so I will be roomateless/homeless/lonely come September. Please take me in. :(
