Stories to Relate

I figure this thread should be for little stories you want to tell but don’t really think it deserves an entire thread devoted to it. This isn’t livejournal, after all.

1.to tell; give an account of (an event, circumstance, etc.).

This first one contains some dirty language.

Now, as some of you may know, my physical characteristics are those of males of this species, though I’ve been looking to change this. Ok? Ok.

Now, I had just left Starbucks (while I can’t specifically ban taking shots at my choice of caffeine dealers, it’s really not something I want to deal with, so please, don’t), tucking my freezing venti mocha frap into the breast pocket of my jacket, as my jacket is awesome and fits one perfectly. As I’m walking this fairly young (maybe 13, 14) kid rides past on his bike. As I lean over and take a sip he turns and gives me a really disgusted face and makes this noise sort of like a grunt before riding forward. Now, in retrospect, it probably was not deserving of a middle finger. I mean, he probably just thinks my choice of drink is disgusting, but at the time the logic part of my brain seemed to be working somewhere else, so it happened, and he was riding away, so “eh” I thought. “He won’t notice anyway.” Now I give him the finger and suddenly he stops, as it seems he was still watching me, but as he was riding into the sunset I couldn’t tell. His friend, who I also didn’t notice suddenly rides past me, and as he catches up to his friend they both head off, the one I flipped off yelling these three words back at me, “Slut”, “bitch” and “cunt”. Now, I don’t know if he knew the context behind those words, or if he even cared. It just struck me as a bit odd, the same sort of odd feeling I get when B&N employees (specifically in the CD section) call me “Ma’am” when I have a bit of facial hair that I’d been neglecting in my depression.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if this thread was just up and deleted, but, I dunno. I just wanted to relate that.[/b]

When I went to see the movie “Juno” after its been out for weeks about half way into the movie 3 random teenage boys come into the screening and yell something like “%)($ing bitch” or something along those lines they then run out laughing. There was about 3 diffrent 20 or 30 year old copules in there and one 40-50 year old guy.

None of us cared and we kept watching the movie. I am sure the projectionst or whatever heard and informed the management. But whatever its not a hugh deal just something rude and dumb.

Well, my dad came into the kitchen as I was taking a couple ibuprofen and asked me if TV dinners are usually preheated at 350. I told him I thought so, but he should probably check. He then proceeded to grumble and stomp outside, mumbling that he had to go all the way to the garage to check.

Now, some of you may be missing the funny here… and for those people: My Father, whom I have no authority over in any form decided to not only take my suggestion as a command, but decided to carry it out while complaining.

And couldn’t just chance it/look on the packet?

Stories to Relate

The packet was in the fridge in the garage.

So to reheat it he would have had to go to the garage to get it anyway.

Stories to Relate

Well, preheating is just getting the oven up to temp before you put the stuff in… I think… I’ve just hit 25 hours and I’m a little out of it.

How not to end a phone call with a wrong number:

See ya later!

Though at least I didn’t do it in a sinister voice.

You know, RSI worries me sometimes!!

I like randomness, but RSI’s randomness has me scratching my head or laughing till my sides hurt!! Either way the forum wouldn’t be the same without her!!

Ok, this is a note to everyone, so you don’t end up feeling as stupid as I do.

If your vision is cloudy when you just wake up, that is normal. You’re probably not going blind. You probably have not developed cataracts. There is no need to urgently talk to a medical professional.

I’m not sure how I missed the cloudy thing all this time though.

Stories to Relate

So you’re developing cataracts? Bit young…

Well, I have a higher risk due to the thing with my eyes, but no. I have been suggested it might have been allergies. I also believe I may have gotten some lint in my eyelashes, hence the blurriness being confined to the sides.

It’s not guaranteed, though actually I suppose if you were to live long enough you could get pretty much everything non genetic…

Meh, me I have sleep issues too. I have always had them too. I’ve been up for a while and probably won’t get to bed til sometime tonight at some point. Don’t rightly feel tired.

My eyes usually blur up sometimes when I wake up and it’s bright in my room. But only then and there. They clear up. My body adjusts fast. It has to deal with all the crap my sister causes me, all the crap I have with my job as a dishwasher; and the overall lack of sleep cause there are only 24 hours in a day.

Leanne, I hope you are taking care of yourself ok. Depression doth suck, been there done that. Sleep problems I have are caused because I work weird hours, and deal with a lot in the course of a day.

Well, the best explanation for what I mean (as it seems to change every time I ask) is that my eyes don’t dilate right and somehow that puts me at greater risk…somehow… and possibly at a younger age.

It wasn’t so much a sleeping problem (though I have been sleeping an awful lot this week), but one of waking up, putting on my glasses, and panicking as I still couldn’t see clearly. Running down the ladder of my bed, then racing to the kitchen to talk to my mom (who is a nurse), since it appeared my dad was on the phone with her.
