The Daily Antics of a Hopeless Meanderer

A little dose of the giggles

What kind of alternate, multi-dimensional, upside-down universe must I live in for people to be walking around in turtlenecks and winter PARKAS in 75 degree weather? Oh that's right, one where it's normally a hundred and five--Thousand degrees during the summer and hair is practically burnt off every surface of your body upon stepping outside... But goodness, it was strange to see regardless, even if it might have been normal, say if I had been at the hospital where peoples' health might be compromised by moderate temperature changes. But this was at school, just this afternoon. Weird.

Speaking of unnecessary apparel, I can barely hobble down the hall to my cubicle at the moment due to these blisters on my feet. But, forgive the stereotypical femininity for a moment; it's so worth it because of how cute the shoes are. :) In regard to that, I received two compliments today, which wouldn't be that unusual in that I encounter more often than not friendly, chatty people, but these comments were from members of the male persuasion. This I thought was odd in that most can rarely see more than one shade of red and very unfortunately think that it's perfectly okay to wear brown shoes with black shirts. I fought back the urge be ironic or sarcastic as per a conversation yesterday and joking reply to every compliment I receive in the form of: "thank you, I'm amazing, I know.". :-) Instead, I opted for a little more modesty and laughed about it later.
