Don't cry for me, Argentina.

When introduced into most new environments in which I meet a group of new people, there are the inevitable INTERROGATIONS. I wish I could just issue a group memo or have some sort of press confrence-like deal in which everyone could raise hands and I'd answer all the nosey questions. After all these MONTHS, I STILL AM ANSWERING QUESTIONS. It's ( Read more... )

Crazy cat ladies are the wave of the future I tell you.

So very true! I know so many now. There should be local branches and meetings. No. No meetings. Scratch that. Heh. (bad cat joke is bad)

They're trying to make sense of you, see where you fit - it's so tiresome. As a mom, I get to meet new moms, some of whom seriously only want to talk about their children 24/7. Don't get me wrong, I talk about my kids a lot because I spend so much darn time with them, but change the subject to Firefly or the fiscal cliff, and I'm bound to have an opinion.

And cats. I totally do not mind conversing at great length about cats. I'm lucky to know two vets now, one who totally has devoted her practice to the care of cats. I get lots of cat pictures to see - I like it ;) And she has no children, hurrah! LOL.

When you said trying to make sense of me, I immediately imagined apes sniffing me and poking me and picking things off of me and eating it. Mwah.

I know so much about everyone's children! Which is fine. USUALLY, it's some WILD TALE from school or the doc or something that is just unbelievable. Being mommy is a full time CRAZY TRAIN, it seems. And for some reason, the ladies I work with? Disabled husbands. 90% of them. Which is sad. So I feel like I have to listen, because who else can they bitch to? I'm the work therapist.

Oh! Oh! There is ONE chick that keeps wearing a "Serenity" tee? I KEEP MEANING TO ATTACK HER WITH SQUEE. Luckily for her? I keep missing her at break time.

You know what most of the INTERROGATIONS are really about? I'm being interviewed by mothers with SINGLE SONS. OY VEY. :D
