(no subject)
These are my thoughts:
1) It is tough being a girl. I love my shoes that I bought in Indy around christmas time, and they're cute and relatively comfy, buuut the strap across the top of the foot kinda cuts off my blood circulation to my feet.... hmm... decisions decisions... if I were a boy i'd never have to make this decision because no pair of shoes would be that "cute". On a side note, if I were a boy I could wear big ol' dress shoes that enable me to wear fuzzy socks and keep my feet warm. my lovely pair of heels doesn't quite provide the same warmth, nor do they look terribly classy with my blue and green stripey fuzzy socks.
2) Next, I was reading a LJ entry talking about normal, and how it's over-rated, and cannot be defined... etc. I have digested this information and have developed my own thoughts on the matter. Personality-wise, I don't think there is a "normal" but that doesn't mean that there isn't an element of normal in each of our lives. For example wouldn't you say it's normal to learn how to walk before getting a drivers license? I would. Would you not consider it normal to find some method of income to support yourself throughout your life, be it a job, a loan, welfare, parents, investments, whatever? I would. There are lines of similarity between all people, and that is what is normal. Therefore it would stand to reason that no one is "not normal". I don't understand all this negativity towards "normal." I understand not wanting to be held to standards of one lifestyle, but it seems like the focus is on how the "normal" lifestyle is a bad one, and should be avoided at all costs. If your goal in life is to be different, then yeah, you should probably aim for the opposite of normal... wait... if normal is being "abstinant from sex before marriage" the opposite would be having lots of sex. Pretty sure that's pretty normal these days. Lose. You see my point. You don't like brand name clothing? A lot of people feel that way. Gay? Same thing. Lots of homosexual people.
The long and short of it is that as a seemingly "socially normal" person I take offense to the idea that lifestyles like mine shoulf be AVOIDED! I hope that is clear. I'm sure it's not. If you were offended by this, then I was obviously not very clear, so please don't be.
3) I found the car I want. It's at a dealership right now in Richardson probably shivering out in the cold, and now that the circus of bank loans has ended, we can deal with the "dance of the bad weather traffic" and try to get there tonight before they close at 8. I know. Who closes at 8? No one. Also, my crappy car needs a spiffy right about now so they don't refuse to take my car, but car washes are surprisingly closed today! who would have thought? a cold rainy day, and they don't feel like washing cars? hmm... Hard to understand. Also, after cleaning out 2 garbage bags full of stuff from my car, (where I found quite a variety of stuff ranging from a top hat and cane to roughly 14 water bottles wedged under my seats, to a piece of fake hair in my trunk, to an old Chemistry quiz of Jeremy's) I realized my car could stand a vaccuuming, so that's what I'll do at lunch. stand outside where it's so cold my hands might fall off (yes I know I'm a weenie) and vaccuum my car. All this is in hopes that the worst thing about my car is the appearance, and not the fact that the drivers seat controls don't work unless you take the seat apart and leave it that way, the horrible odor coming from my engine area, or the traction light that is permanently on, and I don't know how valid its complaint is. Also the fact that the bottom half of my front bumper is pretty torn up. I don't envy this dealership once they own my car. Good luck getting rid of it. I wouldn't buy that car if you paid me for it. Maybe they'll dupe someone else into buying it and I don't have to be the bad guy here.
4) work is getting busier, slowly. I'm starting to get more requests in, and I'm getting pretty proficient at doing the searches. I've evolved the process so that in a lot of counties I don't even need our main database. Huzzah! If we could ween ourselves off of it, it might save quite a bit of money. ok. I have to potty, and I'm hungry, therefore it must be lunchtime.
buhbye!
