I am in a really great mood right now. Just got home like an hour ago after wandering around the city with Renee all night long, way too nice out to go home, it was like summer in Maryland today.
Didn't start off that way, I had one of those mornings that makes you think the world is out to get you. From not waking up quite early enough, to the first bus just not showing up so I had to grab the only other bus that runs down that street which drops me off several blocks away from where I need to grab my second bus thus making me miss the second bus so i got to work late (and we got out of work early, because the boss feels like shit). My ipod was dead, I tried to call my mother to have her entertain me on my ride but I kept getting disconnected (though not at first and thank the gods, second i got on the bus creepy guy from last week, the one that wants me to run away to LA with him after having two conversations with me if you want to call them that, emerged from the back of the bus and sat down next to me; but hey, I'm in the middle of talking to someone on the phone can't pay attention to you right now you fucking nutbag). I also ended up getting sandwiched between two morons, one in front of me and one behind me, who were talking to each other and projecting their voices so everyone on the fucking bus can hear every word they are saying, and I couldn't hear my fucking phone call anymore. plus the bus driver didn't stop at my stop and the only reason why i didn't have to walk to work from much further away was because we got held up at a red light and I screamed loud enough that they let me out.
But then I got paid and got out of work. And I finally bought Hermes a gift that I've been meaning to get for a little while, as soon as I had the money.
I got myself a hat to wear.
This thought drilled its way into my head weeks ago, became an obsession. I had the hat all picked out for a while now, just a matter of waiting because its not cheap.
of course i didn't end up getting the one I had found before. Eyes alighted on a similar one, and the woman who worked there declared the hat with the wider brim looked better on me.
What a fucking surprise, huh? :-)
I had bought and been wearing a necklace for him for some time now. but the thing is, I wear jewelry, I'm used to jewelry, its invisible to me. My jewelry could fall off and it will take me more than a week to notice, I'm so used to it.
But i am not really a hat person. I don't ever wear hats normally. And having this thing on my head all night definitely kept the purpose for my wearing it, who I am wearing it for, right in the front of my mind.
I think Hermes was very much with me the rest of the night. I was weirdly hyper, filled with trickster energy. Spent a lot of time creeping Renee out, it amused me anyway. :-)
