"You are a strange bird"

If I had a nickel...

Do you ever put a really funny status in gchat, like "Maybe boys would like me if I was as pretty as my cat" and then wonder if the people who are in your list because you worked with them on a group project in college like, four years ago, think your status is real and not a joke?


And then...
Sim: I always enjoy your gchat statuses

me: haha good!

  i was like "hmm, i have a lot of ppl on here i don't talk to very often, i wonder if they can see me. ohhhh i wonder if they think my statuses are serious?"

 Sim: hahaha thatd be funny if they chatted u and were like "omg dont say that!"

 
YES.  Success.

See today, I read Ashley's blog.  She won my heart with this sentence: "And it’s something of a shock to find people I can spend endless hours with and not think, “Well, this is fun, but I would like to be alone now.”  Because her paragraph about herself being weird totally resonated my feelings about myself.

Then, I read Caragh's blog and saw a link to ErinGrace's blog.  And I just want to get all of these people (plus Liz) in the same room so we can play with my cat.  And then I can tell them all about how I was walking to Wawa while talking to my Dad on the phone and when I got there I saw my bf's roommate, Dave.  And I said hi but I was still on the phone.  And then I started ordering my sandwich, but this asshat got all up in my personal space trying to talk to the Wawa sandwich maker people, and then as soon as I hung up Dave came up to talk to me and I was still ordering my sandwich but was confused when it said I was done so I ended up really awkwardly ending the conversation with Dave by taking my receipt and running to the other side of the store.  And that's how I ended up with a plain cheese hoagie.  Which is not at all what I wanted.  But it had cheese and bread on it.  So I was still pretty happy.

And everyone would just nod and none of them would call me weird.  We'd order a pizza and wine and keep playing with the cat.  Possibly showing her bird videos on YouTube so she kept hanging around us.

Because, come on, she's really freaking cute.
