Fun product of this funk is a habit of not paying attention to where I'm going. Like yesterday when I found myself at an intersection that is no where near my home. Not only did I miss the turn I was supposed to make, I didn't realize it for 3 blocks. Oh, and for those drivers who think, "that's no big deal. I do that all the time," I should clarify that I was on foot which means a good 7 minutes of not recognizing my surroundings. That's a real safe habit there.
Once I came back to reality I figured I would enjoy this new wanderlust and see where it led me. But that's harder to do when you're focussed. I ended up just going to Starbucks to get a cup of coffee I didn't need (but yay for me for not letting it lead me to Chipotle!) and then trekking back home.
On the way though I saw THE perfect dog, a German Shepherd, and exactly the kind of puppy I would have gotten if I hadn't been a pansy and had actually got a dog in college. Our first dog was a German Shepherd, her name was Nike and my mom found her when she was in college. That dog was smarter than half her roommates and proved it by frequently finding her own way home when said roommates got distracted by hippie guys when out for a walk. She also had a habit of taking new pets out for "adventures" where they got to find "new families". Oh Nike, why have we always had stupid pets after you. (See 2nd post on description of the fambam's current pet situation).
And for those of you now currently rolling your eyes and saying geez girl get over your pet obsession then let me just refer you back to the name of this blog. Dbag.
Speaking of douchebags, I had a couple of fun encounters the past couple of weeks.
One Sunday for example, I locked myself out around 10 PM and had to hike up to my roommates work to borrow her keys. On the way back not only do I get harassed by some fool on a balcony ( I mean really freak, wtf do you THINK I'm doing speed walking down the sidewalk in the middle of the night?!) on my last block there I notice a non creepy looking rented Prius packed full of Asians coasting along the road at my pace. "Cool," I thought, "they're just looking for an address and will any second now be rolling down a window to ask me for directions. Nope...well that's cool figure it out yourselves then. Wait why are you stopping, and speeding up again, and now you're apace with me again and could you maybe stop staring at ME if you're looking for an address. Really, are we really doing this, if I was at all stupid I would angrily call you out right now. But lucky for me, I'm smart in a cowardly kind of way so I'll just be jogging back to my apartment now. Fucking dbags. Get a creepier car."
I think that's enough for now. I'll try to update more quickly.
OH! but final notes. you know that stupid Facebook application that goes so and so answered some questions about you. click here to see how they answered. I FUCKING HATE THAT THING. one because it's always by completely random people who I don't even know why I'm friends with them on Facebook. And two because once you click on it IT SPAM'S YOUR FRIENDS. so don't click on it. also...it won't tell you how anyone answered, if they actually answered so it's of no use anyway.
Good night internets, tomorrow I'm going to an all day classics conference hosted by my all time favorite Professor so forgive me if I start going on about books or art or music or whatever. I'll grow out of it soon enough.
