“i still feel alone, oh let me go home”

June 12, 2006

i was reading a magazine today (O magazine, LOL!) at the glasses shop and it had an interesting article in it that i didn’t get to finish reading.

[aside: i got new glasses, and i’m not a big fan of them. the frames are blue/black which is different for me. usually my glasses are some kind of shade of brown. (gold counts :) ) they’re also smaller so when they slide down my nose i can see straight over the top and i feel like a teacher….i guess the stereotypical kind who glares down at the children over her glasses…. but anyway, the glasses were cheap, so i’m okay with them! :) ]

[aside: i think it’d be cool if we called stores ’shops’ instead. i know they do that in….the UK?… well, it sounds very cute, i say.
book shop.
record shop.
clothes shop.
food shop.
… okay maybe it doesn’t work for everything.]

well, the article was about a married couple who live in separate apartments.
i thought it was a very ‘interesting’ idea.
i mean, it makes sense if you’re a very independent person and realllly picky about how things are in your home.
a lot of arguments over cleaning would be avoided.
and each person could decorate their house however they please!
i guess it would be doing away with a lot of the ‘compromise’ part of marriage…. which has it’s purpose.
but despite that, i kinda like the idea.

now, with that said, i am FIRMLY against the idea if the apartments are more than a few steps away from eachother… and by a ‘few’ i mean like 5 steps.
i’m talking, the same floor of an apartment building, right next to eachother.
or better yet, across the hall.

…like on soap operas! haha.

i say, if the apartments are farther away than that, you have no idea what the other person is doing!
in the article i read, the husband’s apartment was on the other side of town.
crazzzzzy.
with all the horror stories of people leading double lives, having a spouse who lives on the other side of town would be realllly risky!!

heh, i think the Kramer-Seinfeld relationship would work best.
the door’s always open, you barge in whenever you want, eat the other person’s food and always know what they’re doing and who they’re with.

:D

“working for the man every night and day”

i’m really impressed with where i work.
first of all the location is GREAT, i mean, it’s in another city but only takes 20min to get to, and i only have to take one bus!!
and the building/office itself is really asthetically pleasing… and the grounds are nicely kept.

i went for a walk during lunch today and was impressed.
(i wasn’t impressed by my horribly uncomfortable shoes though!)

so today i got to play with stickers! (read: ‘labels’)
it was like craft time!
and they gave me one of those rubber things to put on my finger (to flip through pages easier).
i felt really hardcore.
haha.

so i finished all my work before the end of the day, and they gave me some of someone else’s to do.
and then i finished that.
so they set me up on a computer for the last hour of the day.

mwa ha ha ha, it’s all part of my master plan!
i’ll do everything they give me really quickly so then they have to keep teaching me new things.
then it’ll just make sense for them to give me a computer. and then when the summer is over they’ll say, “well… why would we let her leave? she already knows how to do everything!”

and then they’ll pay me tens of thousands of dollars.
haha.

the only flaw i see in the plan is that one of the main reasons i want a computer is so that i can check my email and surf the net. (read: “procrastinate”)

which means that my efficiency will go down dramatically….
hmmm
