Still Water

02Oct09

Note to self:

You know how you meet someone on the bus that you haven’t seen in aeons? There are awkward smiles, hugish movements, and then the inevitable question: “So, what’s new?”

To which acceptable answers are:

“It’s great, I just finished my novel”
“It’s great, I got married and populated the earth”
“It’s great, I got a promotion and now have people at my beck and call”

Or possibly:

“Can’t you see it’s great? I lost 20 pounds”

However. If your sexiest possible answer is:

“It’s great. My boss decided this winter we’re to have insulation in the office roof. We’re all really excited”

Then maybe you should reconsider going out in public at all.

On this note: yay, I’m back.

    Actually waiting around this long for a blog to resurface is unheard of. (I even had to start my own bloody thing in order to keep occupied, for crying out loud). Yet, here I am. And there you are. Good.

    We could enroll each other in our blogrolls, you know. It’s the most indecent proposal you’ll get today. Possibly challenged by me pestering you about lunch again.
