AUUUUGH YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

(Yup, still alive. I sprained my ankle kind of badly on Saturday, I have to wear a splint, it's all very badass-looking. Apart from that, I'm doing good!)

Maybe it's just me, but I hate, hate, hate being hit on (in the flirtatious sense) in the street. It just makes me squirm. Talking to a random guy whose single preoccupation is to have sex with

Ugh. I hope the ankle heals.

Do you mind if I point my girlfriend to this post? She'll probably be singing "Amen, sister!" at the top of her lungs

The doctor (somehow I really want to capitalize the D, haha) says it's nothing too bad, but I have to wear the splint for about ten days anyway, otherwise my ankle will be permanently weakened. The bothering part of this is that I intended to do some Serious Job-Hunting™ this week, and it'll have to wait for a while longer. But mostly it's not too bad, I can walk almost normally. For some reason, the only thing that hurts is going down a flight of stairs. (Guess where my room is? Upstairs. And guess where the kitchen with all the delicious chocolate is...?)

Of course I don't mind! Go on ! :)

Job hunting isn't all online? Or is it the sorts of jobs you're looking for require being there and saying, "Here I am! Hire me!" (or, more likely for Strasbourg, "Je suis ici ! Engagez-moi !")

Alas, not for lousy student jobs! Those still require the use of Ye Olde-Fashionède Feete. Especially when the only diploma I can boast (with? of?) is the baccalauréat... I suppose I could do some of it online, but I'd rather have fully functional feet in case I need to walk anyway.

And honestly, even if I could do it all online, I still wouldn't want to go to a job interview with a sprained ankle, if only because most of my serious-looking shoes (as opposed to my oh god so worn out but so comfortable shoes) aren't sprain-friendly. Or splint-friendly, for that matter. So I'll wait.

Thanks for the comment ! :D

or at least the porn mags and Maxim mags of the world tell them this is somewhat possible in this dimension...
You know, I never think about porn's influence on people (because, well, I never really think about porn, period), but that's a good point... I tend to forget not everyone has porny fanfiction as a reference.

As I was saying in my post, I tend to wear clothes that I think are nice but that just look geeky to the average non-geek, so I tend to naturally avoid the staring. It's really creepifying when it happens, though.

And thanks for the ankle advice! I'll make sure to follow it! ^^
