Today was another one of those times when I'm reading it and nodding, thinking, <EM>Yep. Uh-huh. Oh, most definitely. This is me, all right.</EM><BR/><BR/>For example, when someone pulled a fire prank on me when I was at camp at age 15 or so, and the fire alarm was going off, other girls were screaming and checking the door and all that jazz. I noted others' door-checking and pulled on my jacket, thinking <EM>It's gonna be cold outside</EM>.<BR/><BR/>Then we ended up having to go out the window. I got to it, said "Oh," and rolled out into the bush below, temporarily losing my sandal in the process. (I was thinking <EM>Oh, that's higher than I thought.</EM> I found out later that only the "Oh" was vocalized.)<BR/><BR/>And then there's the way people give me funny looks and talk about me in the third person to others while I'm there at work. And the fact that I evidently terrified one of my friends the first time I met her, until someone else told her that I'm often how I was at that meeting.<BR/><BR/>Eh, don't worry about responding to this if you don't want to. I figure that you might find it amusing to read.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it will probably be a little longer than I would've liked before I can buy your books—I kinda got laid off yesterday. >_< It's a gradual layoff, at least, with a reasonably nice severance package (especially considering I've been working there a month and a half), but I currently have no idea where my paychecks are gonna come from after that.Carradeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431561739001270522noreply@blogger.com
