….pathetic….
…isn’t he?
I concur. *sneezes. sniffs. coughs.* Pretending to not be sick at work makes for a miserable evening where it all crashes down again. I dun feel gud.
Of course – work was aided by my getting QUITE PISSED OFF there for a few hours. Heh. Now I’m just all “eh. Fuck you.”
Valentine’s Day
So, today was the day of Red and Pink and Flowers and Hearts and Sparkly Things and Soft Things and Couples Dressed Up and…
Blahblahblah.
I joked with all the men we helped today – each one carrying flowers bought last minute as they belatedly remembered what day it was and scrambled – “Oh,” I’d say, “You bought me flowers! How sweet!” and they’d laugh and shake their head, and wander off.
Not a one actually gave me flowers though. Not one.
One guy, just as I was leaving, buying the dog food, and some new earrings for myself, and a diet coke to drink on the way home – I said it to him, and he laughed and agreed he was sweet. I did not get flowers from him either, but as I was joking with the checker that I’d been trying all day and gotten no where, he made a point to come back and touch my arm, and wish me a “Happy Valentine’s Day, anyway, hon.”
Dawwww. 🙂
I joke around a lot – the girls complain when they don’t get enough action, and I just smirk and give them “Two words: Five YEARS.” And they always say the same thing (or variations of it): Take Care Of Yourself! Alas, they are young – and miss the point.
It’s not the lack of sex, not really at all – its the fact that having a partner every once in a while would be nice. Having someone stop and say “Hey, you look nice” would be fantastic. Having someone think hey – that girl, that girl right there? She’s worth taking out for a bite to eat, and some conversation. She’d be fun to hang with. She’d be awesome to buy a flower for, just because, or even for Valentines day.
It’d be nice to be that girl.
It’d just be nice to be noticed.
Even if I can take care of myself – it doesn’t mean I always want too.
How long…
…does it take one Blond PepperMist to notice I’ve got TWO laptops sitting here with me, which means she gets to use Charlie more often than before?
This many hours:
THIS MANY.
Hee.
The Valentine Invitational!
Spent the day at the swim meet – working the timer table, and cheering on all the kids.
Here – you cheer too! 🙂
The pup got:
4th – 50 backstroke
10th – 50 Freestyle
5th – 100 IM – 3 seconds off her time AND a ducky. 🙂
7th – 50 breaststroke
🙂 (advantages to being at the timer table – getting overall results before the kids. hee!)
Thanks to peppermist for videotaping for me! You rock!
