... But when, in an effort to contribute to the chat, I sent this: "BTW, you'll never guess where I am right now!" ... I didn't expect him to take it literally.

Conversation = FAIL.

*sigh*

Overheard At Work

"Really, I think that cat should be able to reproduce if it wants to!"

Is there a survey for that?

Context. Oy, context.

Speaking of Facebook (what? I wasn't? Please, just tell me that when you read the above you didn't immediately expect that it would show up as a status update somewhere), I finally reach my limit and "un"friend a guy who has fairly definitively demonstrated his LACK of interest in me (plus I'm sick of seeing his updates and "pining", urgh) - and the very next day he texts me and starts getting chatty. Is it my bad timing striking again, or is this just guy-typical?!? I give up.

Day 18 - At the Wire

Busy day, quick post -

Picture this: Three girls, chatting. Boy walks past, then suddenly drops to the floor and starts doing push-ups. Girls exhibit variety of "What the...?!?" faces, then quickly control giggles. Boy finishes, gets up, and strolls away nonchalantly. Girls turn to each other, somehow manage to laugh silently, and finally one says, "Well, HE'S straight!"

Picture this: Girl manages to convince Boy that she needs some pictures of people in various "athletic" poses for a blog entry she plans to do on Motivations to Exercise. Girl gets Boy to recreate push-ups (as well as other spurious shots) for the camera. Yeah. Evidence:


The things a guy will do for cute girls...

Sahara, Michael, Lindsay...

And just to prove I can play along too - my version of a Pilates pose:

Good News / Bad News

In which we shall see: Good news, and... the other kind.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sorry it's been a while - I think my percolator had stalled out. GOOD NEWS: It's been in for repairs, and should be humming along shortly.

GOOD NEWS: I went to Crown Burger for lunch!
BAD NEWS: I have decided to drop out of the Pocatello Marathon. I realized over the weekend that there was no way I could get myself in shape in two weeks, and that I REALLY need to focus on getting a job rather than all sorts of muscle strain.
GOOD NEWS: Onion rings are healthier than french fries, right? What with being made of a non-potato vegetable and all...

GOOD NEWS: Mom has decided that she wants to participate in a marathon, so we will train together to get ready for one a few months from now (maybe January).
BAD NEWS: Chances are excellent she will completely kick my trash. *whimpers*

"GOOD" NEWS: Apparently most of the male half of the Brighton High School drama department has a crush on me.
BAD NEWS: The only guys who crush on me are in high school, rather than, say, their older single-yet-still-normal brothers (ha!) or their widowed/divorced-yet-still-awesome fathers.
DEPRESSINGLY BAD NEWS: I'm actually speculating on the marital possibilities of the FATHERS of the high school boys I know. (I have GOT to get out of this state.)

GOOD NEWS: It's been a fascinating few days, debating with an online friend of mine on an intense topic and feeling like I've been keeping up!
BAD NEWS: ... Nope. We're good.
RELATED TANGENTIAL NEWS: Thanks to the debate, this friend's mother thinks I'm the coolest thing since Cheez Whiz. I probably should have warned him that I tend to have that effect on my guy-friends' mothers. *waves to Potentate*

GOOD NEWS: I should be able to pick up Disc 4 of Season 2 of Roswell from the library this afternoon.
BAD NEWS: I'm watching Roswell, when I should be reading Romeo and Juliet.

BAD NEWS: I just can't make myself read Romeo and Juliet.
GOOD NEWS: I have three different movie versions of the play arriving today, one of which is a "full-text" production. I'll be able to listen to it (when I'm not watching Roswell) and make jewelry for the upcoming family wedding at the same time! I love successful multi-tasking!

GOOD NEWS: The Boy I Thought Would Never Call did actually text me.
BAD NEWS: He told me to email him, and then left the country. *Sigh*

RANDOM NEWS: On my way back from Crown Burger I saw a guy at the corner who was either doing a few minutes of Tai Chi/Yoga/D&D moves or pretending to be a superhero while he was waiting for the light to change. Tough call.

COOL NEWS: Check out his awesome photo my niece took! I think these hippos should be mascots here on my blog, and that they need names. Any thoughts?
