Thinkin' Outloud...


Evidence I'm trying to be a nicer person/friend.


She called me today. A friend of mine from back home whose name will not be revealed.
Don't ask me why I answered this call. I figured it was one of my friends but didn't expect it to be her.

Well, this time I didn't pretend I couldn't hear her.

She's called me before and I'd be like, "Hello...hello? I can't hear you...Hello? Who is this? If I was feeling more creative I'd pretend that I was not me and say, "Emma, I can't hear the person on the other end."

Am I ashamed of this behavior? You bet your ass I am. But if I don't wanna talk to someone, then bloody hell I won't.
Anyways, I'm the sucker for answering the call.
She had called to tell me she's coming to Boston in May with 5, count 'em 5 friends...
Surprise, surprise...
Does she think she's staying with me? Yes, I think so...but I told her I'd get back to her. We talked for a while, gossiping about people from back home, her wedding, etc...There were a few moments of uncomfortable silence and I fixed that with, "so, what else" and of course she came up with more things to say.
There's more to the story regarding this particular friend but I won't get into it. With that said, I am really trying to be a nice person/friend.

On a lighter note, we have a new neighbor at the end of the road...He's this creepy old man that I finally saw today. I know I shouldn't really say he's a creepy old man but he just gives me this eerie feeling and he stares a lot. If he tries anything, I'll kick his ass.

Something just happened that made me snicker to myself.
I was reading a job description online and what reads as Superb phone skills I read as superboner skills.
I also have a sinus headache right now so that contributed to my illiteracy.

Thinkin' Outloud...


Sean and I watched Wrong Turn lastnight and it gave me a nightmare. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I won't spoil it for you like I did last time. But anyway, it involves a southern state and inbreds and people getting lost. So anyway, in my dream I just kept running and running and I woke up feeling tired from all the running.

So, the other day a friend of mine that I have known from America Online for almost 7 years or but never have met tells me that he THINKS he saw me at Barnes & Nobles at the Starbucks Cafe` and you know, I think he did see me. It was about the same day and time he told me he was there. I told him the next time he thinks he sees me to say my name and I'll be sure to run like hell.

Thinkin' Outloud...


Halloween was fun, I finished my costume two hours before the party started. I was O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill. I hand sewn a black kimono and a 2 ft. Obi. I had asian clogs on too.
I like to sew, and soon, I hope to have an actual machine, courtesy of my sister.
The party was cool, ate a lot of candy and got to see neat costumes.
Saturday I went apple picking with some friends. It was cool cause I had been to that apple orchard before but on this trip, they had a hayride that took you to another field of apple trees cause the ones within walking distance were all picked out. We picked a peck of apples, threw cherries at Will and we all made fun of each other. Eleanor and Amy were the only ones to bring cameras and I can't wait to see the pictures. Later that evening all of us had dinner at John and Eleanors. That was a very nice and relaxing time. We talked, looked at Playboy mags.
Leaving, Sean and I had to take two cars home. I had asked that I follow him home, cause you know, I don't know why. Anyway, s I was turning on a right on red light, I noticed there was an S.U.V that looked like it was trying to cut me off but I beat the sonavabitch. Well THEN, Sean and I get stuck at a red light, and I notice this same BMW SUV had pulled up right beside me and had not pulled forward and it was the first car in the lane too! I start to calmly panic and reach for my cell phone. I couldn't help but imagine that my head was gonna get blown off. I start to dial when I hear, "Hey" so I look and it's a very attractive guy motioning me to roll down my window. I roll my window down and BAM, he throws a bottle at my face...



Jokes, he had a strong Italian accent so I couldn't understand what he was saying, the driver starts yelling over him, "Don't call the police, we just wanted to say hello. You're so pretty." All this in an italian accent.
I smiled big and giggled like a stupid school girl, then I took a strand of hair and twirled it on my finger....Yeah right. I did giggle tho.
I thought they were harmless until they kept following me. They wouldn't pull forward every time we hit a red light, they would drive up right next to my car and try to talk to me. They followed me onto 93 South until I decided to stop following Sean and lost them. Sigh.
