Thoughts I've had today.

(A bit disjointed, but a blog)

I would like a crow as a pet. I would like to put it on a leash and teach it to peck my enemies.

Hello hotness! Sleeve tattoos? Reading The Heart is a Lonely Hunter? Swoon!

It amazes me in this day and age that people continue to be so stubbornly close minded about love and marriage. My experiences and observations of LM planning her wedding have been eye opening.

Most of the time, customers make a junky mood worse. But tonight, I was actually cheered up by several customers who were funny and smart. They made me laugh and had some great recommendations about books.

I am not really surprised, not necessarily displeased, but really not surprised to know that people at work are talking about me. The phrase "behind my back" implies in a negative way, and who knows, maybe it was, but either way, people know about my dates and I did not share that information with many people. I am trying to imagine it coming up in conversation. Nothing is ever a secret at work, something I learned months ago, in such a disappointing way, that I have worked very hard to remain discreet and trustworthy.

So while I have no issues with people at work knowing, especially JO, it serves as a gentle reminder to keep my bits, literally and metaphorically, covered up.

What strikes me about the idea of people talking about me is my own insecurity that my own friends and coworkers find me as undateable as I sometimes feel. So me hearing someone say "You went on a date?" Instantly leads to me attempting to parse the tone and emphasis on each syllable to decide if there is judgment, surprise or disbelief.

Unrelated to tonights date discussion, there is nothing worse than being betrayed by a friend and it is not a feeling I ever hope to repeat.
