*i'm bored & i don't have that much reading to do today so i'm giving myself some lazy time (as if that isn't essentially my entire life). anyway, this is a guilt free time to do stupid things like update my elj while wearing sunglasses because the glare of the sun on my computer is pretty bright. i have this new paranoia thing that people can see in my room. the one wall is like all window but it faces a bunch of shorter buildings so essentially all i see is rooftops. thus this fear is unfounded, the buildings that do have windows at my level are too far away to really see in. it's just that i do alot of weird things like dancing spastically (a few running men thrown in, why not?), wearing sunglasses while at my computer &, frankly, now that i live alone i don't wear a whole lot of clothes. that probably surprises no one. anyway, i now peer out my window accusingly before doing anything weird so i guess if people are watching they can be amused at how dumb i am?
*the real reason of this post is to share one of the funniest e-mails i have ever recieved from phy with the world. perhaps i'm the only one who finds this amusing but i like to reiterate the point that the woman is not all there in the head for those who are skeptical. to give you a background the e-mail is entitled "lots of stuff" & is formatted in a numbered list. all of the points amused me to some degree but i'll just share #1 because it's the most absurd. and i quote, "1. Do you drink bottled water or water from your tap? If I recall
correctly, your water was orange when we were there. I assume it's OK - just sitting in the pipes all summer. But since you live in an old building, you might want to run the water for a while before you drink it." i'm not sure how she let me move 500 miles away to live by myself if she's not entirely sure that i won't drink orange water? and the fact that she assumed that i was just drinking orange water for 3 weeks but maybe after 20 days it was time to intervene is beyond me too.
*circa the same time i recieved a more normal e-mail from paul asking if i had had the meningitis vaccine. it was nothing near being accused of drinking rusty water for nearly a month but it makes me worry. i'm pretty sure at this point that i'm going to be that girl who gets e-mails & phone calls from my parents reminding me to turn off the oven when i'm done cooking, etc. at age 40. my parents get weirder & more frightening on a daily basis i think.
