even just for a day

If I were a boy,
I would turn off my phone;
tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone.
I'd put myself first
and make the rules as I go...
'cause I know that she'd be faithful
waiting for me to come home.


It's been an interesting month; many ups and downs that explain the time that has slipped away. But many clever or insane conversations have been held or overheard...and some have been remembered and shall be posted.


First, from a commercial...
People hang on his every word...even the prepositions.


Up next:
A conversation with a stranger on a flight to St. Louis...
RSS: Yeah. Ayn Rand basically says, "do what you want."

K: ...but not volunteer.

RSS: Okay. You're right. Not "do whatever you want." "Do whatever I think you should want."

K: What a saint.


Finally:
At a recent baseball game against the San Diego Padres...
*Setting the scene: the players had recording themselves saying clips from Anchorman, which played after one of the innings.*

Players: Stay classy, San Diego.

C: BUT YOU'RE PLAYING SAN DIEGO!

RM: AND YOU'RE LOSING!

a long, long ride on my motorbike

This thing called “love,”
I just can’t handle it.
This thing called “love,”
I must get around to it.
I ain’t ready…
crazy little thing called “love.”

At church:
Father R: We’re getting a new priest soon. His name is Bjorn. Sounds like the noise a car makes when it goes by… Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejorn. *Pauses for laughter.* See, now you guys
aren’t going to be able to forget his name.

*****

At work:
RD: Yesterday it was so hot and humid. It was like stepping into...a hot and humid cloud.

It's the climb

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side...



A few days ago...
K: I heard on the radio that 43% of adults text message other people in the bathroom. We’re either finding strange ways to show our affection…or we’re really stretched for time.

J: Texting? That’s not affection. Now when I Face-stalk you while I’m in the bathroom, that’s affection.

K: That’s disgusting. And explains why we’re not Facebook Friends.

J: Would you rather I just call you?



Tonight, after leaving class, I sat in construction traffic…
and then my car’s battery died.
K: So, when I got in the car at school, the clock said “9:45pm.” And when I got home it read “1:10am.”

M: But, the grad school is like...15 minutes from your house. It took you over 3 hours to get home?

K: No. The car’s battery died. So the clock read “1:10am,” but it was really about 11:15.

M: …You know, you can reset your car’s time.

K: You’re joking!

M: And you’re either very sarcastic…or a complete moron.

All About the Wordplay

Are you prepared to take a dive
into the deep end of my head?
Are you listening
to a single word I've said?


Conversing with a crazy man...
R: She looked at me and blinked.
K: Blinked? Or winked?
R: Blinked.
K: Then who cares? We all blink.
R: While looking at someone?
K: Uh...yes.
R: I don't care what you say. This is so going on Craiglist's missed connections.


And Rachel, trying to put my mind at ease:
"Eh, just wait 'til you finish grad school. You'll be more of a globetrotter than the guys from Harlem."

If you find a man that's worth a damn...

When you see my face,
hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
When you walk my way,
hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.

Spent time with two amazing ladies tonight. I hadn't laughed so hard in a while and am still feeling a bit giddy... If I had met a guy or two, it would have been the perfect evening. :)

*****

Talking to a female friend about a man I have always had feelings for:
K: If he were gay, this would all just be so much easier.
M: If he were gay...or if I were gay?
K: If he were gay. ...If you were gay it...actually wouldn't help my situation at all.

*****

Trying to decide on a drink:
K: I can't decide what drink to get. *Turns to waiter* I know you get this a lot, but if you were a martini, which one would you be?

Waiter-in-training: *Sitting down and taking drink menu* Hmm... Well... I'm a romantic, so I think I'd be a Long Lost Love.

K: *After deliberation* Okay, a Long Lost Love it is.

Waitress: *Delivering drink* One Long Lost Love. *Sighs* I need one of those.

K: *Laughs* Me too.

*Time passes and waiter-in-training returns to table*

Waiter-in-training: I just noticed we have a Heartbreak Martini. I think I'd be that.

(Still unable to figure out if he was flirting...or just wanted me to buy another drink....)
