People are quirky. I think that's what makes them interesting. One of my quirks is that when I'm in a movie theatre, I think Cherry Coke and Junior Mints are the two best things that can ever be eaten together, get me out of a theatre, and I think they taste gross together. Another quirk of mine, I will get anything out of a cat's mouth, but I won't go anywhere near a baby's mouth. You can tell me, "Hey, S, there's a string hanging out of your cat's mouth!" and down I go, to pull whatever it is right out, no matter how drooly it is. Yet, tell me, "S, get the baby, he's chewing on something a baby shouldn't chew on!" I'll nearly recoil in horror at the thought of touching what touched that child's mouth. I'll hesitate more about baby drool, than dog drool. Granted, I do dislike dog drool, it's nasty, but not as much as I hate baby drool. I'll be one "icked out" mother one day.
I went to Batman Begins with a few friends this week. One of them, (I'll call him Wayne) didn't want to pay the ridiculous prices that they charge for Theatre snacks, so he sneaked in a little candy. Now, I had idly wondered once or twice how guys did that, since they don't carry purses like girls do, and I hide my snacks in my purse, well he answered my question that night. Wayne had strapped a package of Twizzlers to one leg, and a bag of Skittles to the other with bungee cords. Man, I love him, he's the funniest guy. Even if he doesn't like the Lord of the Rings movies, or the Star Wars prequels. But then, I have a few friends who either haven't seen or dislike those sets of movies (which I love) and still like them.
Took a friend of mine to a Bible Study that I've been going to for about a month now. I don't know why I did, I knew that I would probably end up talking mostly to her. I'm still not quite comfortable around the people at the Bible study, but I'm getting there. I'm so shy that it frankly amazes me that I have any friends. Yet somehow out of nowhere I seem to have a social life. I haven't done anything to try to get this social life, and it almost feels like it's just spilling over from some friends I've had for about 4 years now. They're the ones who are meeting these people, and I'm meeting their friends, and somehow becoming friends with them myself. Which I suppose is what happens normally. Maybe I'm just more open to people now than I was a year ago, when I was so depressed about not having a social life.
Having a BBQ for July 4th. I'm looking forward to it. We had one for Memorial Day, but it was cold and foggy, so we spent most of our time inside. It was fun, but not quite like a BBQ to me. I'm praying for good weather this time around. That and all my guests have a good time. One of my friends that I haven't seen in months should be able to come down for it, and frankly I'm going to have to try not to ignore all my other guests because I'm paying so much attention to her. Maybe not, there will be a few guys there that I like. (Not like-like, but you know) Actually, I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of people at it, especialy the ones I haven't seen in awhile.
Word of advice, if you have company overnight, and you stay up talking for a long time, and you look up and realize that it's 4AM, you may as well stay up the rest of the night. My best friend and I usually only talk until 3AM, but last night, we made it to 4. I tell you, it felt like 4 in the afternoon to me, but I knew she had things to do today, so we decided to get some sleep. We managed about 6 hours sleep, I think. Thank God for not working on Saturdays.
I've written enough for now, I think. All rather random, really.
Till next I write!
