-Ice

-Blue ink pens

-Andy from Parks & Rec

-Apple Sauce.

-Social anxiety

-laundry basket on head

1. Let's start with #1: Capitalization. Since graduating from college, my only major rebellion has been to stop capitalizing the first word of sentences & my own name. Why? I have no idea. I could blame texting for making that happen or I could blame my lack of self confidence as to why I didn't want to capitalize my own name or even the word "I" whenever I type it out but I have decided to change that. I am back to normal grammar as best I can do & because I deserve some respect from myself.


2. EBay. Whatever happened to the fad of selling & buying stuff on EBay? The excitement of finding a collector's item or a cheaper version of your favorite useless thing. Only to have to wait at least 7 days to find out if you "won" it in a virtual bidding war with strangers who had nothing better to do than sit & track their outbiddings. Did all the EBay rage go out in like 2005? It must have been the discovery of Craig's List..which I still feel is really just a poor man's version of the lazy garage sale. I do understand it's useful. The one & only time I used it was to find a home for a dog I was fostering & luckily I didn't meet any creepers like in that Lifetime movie.


3. Songs for Japan. I recently read that Rihanna, Bon Jovi, Ne-Yo & Justin Bieber were coming together to collaborate on an album to benefit those devastated by the recent tsunami & earthquake. I don't know how the people of Japan feel about those artist, but I sure as hell don't think their music (except for maybe Bon Jovi) would in anyway lift my spirits after I lost everything I had plus loved ones. I think listening to them would only make things worse.


4. Stuck in an elevator. Have you ever gotten in an elevator with strangers & immediately thought "what if these are the people I got stuck in an elevator with right now"? Luckily it's never happened but I always imagine if it did. That could be a comedy or horror movie depending on my fellow elevator patrons. Next time you get in an elevator, just take a quick look around at the other people in there with you. Don't worry, you can look around at them because like all people who get in an elevator with strangers, they never look directly at anyone else so you won't have to worry about making eye contact.


5. Ice. I love ice almost as much I like fire. But I don't like driving on ice...and I certainly wouldn't want to drive on fire. I could easily walk across either one. I like ice in a glass but I've never had fire in a glass. I imagine that would be kind of fun though.


6. Blue ink pens. They are my favorite color of pens to write in but due to my job, it's not legal to write in blue ink. Well actually new laws say it can be either black or blue ink but my doctors only prefer black. I miss writing in blue. It makes writing less drab.


7. Chris Pratt aka Andy from Parks & Rec. I awesome sauce him!


8. Apple Sauce....thinking of awesome sauce made me think of apple sauce which I haven't had in a long time. It's best if cinnamon is added to it.


9. Social anxiety. I think I'm starting to develop a form of social anxiety. Which is not good for me because I love being around people. But the past couple months, when I wake up in the morning or am getting ready to go hang out with friends on the weekends, I start to feel nauseous. Maybe it's a fear that I won't be good enough at my job or that I won't be fun enough for my friends. Whatever it is, it's very annoying & I hope it goes away soon.


10. Put a laundry basket on my head. I did that a lot when I was a kid. We would always joke that we were stuck in jail looking out through the "bars" of the basket. I did it today & had a flash back of being 7yrs old again. Btw, I despise folding laundry.

I bid you a-do. May your week be a good one. If you get in an elevator, just remember to take a brief gander at those around you. Imagine the stories behind them that they could bring to the scene if you all got stuck together. It's Sunday night & my brain hasn't worked all weekend so I should probably go to sleep now & hope it resets itself before the morning or else work will be a struggle more than usual.
