2000-01-13 10:10:34 EVERYTHING IS SUCKY Someone said, and they were right, that this is the suckiest millenium ever, so far. Agreed? Yes!!! Anyways, I'm back at work after having to be in Connecticut for a funeral. Which is the worst ever. Plus we get back from the funeral and find out my mom is being sued!!! More sucky. Then, plus, lots of relationships are breaking up, it seems like. And now, also, I'm back at work and I have tons of busy management type activities that I do NOT care to do. SUCKY SUCKY SUCKY x Infinity. Ok. Breathe. Positivity is important. Listen. It's snowing for the first time ever in Boston, so all the road and busses are HECTIC. and people are cranky and the subways are crowded. So the Green Line is awful, but I have to take it today so, deal with it. And it's mob deep, everyone's packed in, and some complainy lady is pushing her way through the people, as thought there was some part of the T that was less crowded. But she's pushing and muttering under her breath and everything, and comes to a stop near me. Glaring and snorting at everyone. So I say: Are you cranky? And she sort of startled and then her face sank and she said Yes. So then I said: Why's that? And she says We're all packed in here and no one moves to the center of the train. And then I said: Yeah, it's crowded, but maybe it's not so bad being packed together. Maybe someone near by is a distant cousin, or maybe you have lots in common with someone nearby, who knows. And she said, I doubt it. So I asked her where she was from, and it was different from me. I asked her where she went to school, and it was different from me. I asked her what she majored in and she said English, which was the same as me, so there we were. Not too uncommon. Then I asked her what she liked about English, what she liked studying. And she said Actually, Medieval Poetry. Waiting for me to get disgusted. But I said, Me too. The Battle of Maldon. And her eyes went crazy and she smiled and said: thus he on this people went out in front of battle, cutting down and smiting, until he too on the battlefield perished. And then I said: This was not that Godric who from the battle had flown away. And then it was time for me to get off the train. That is my day so far. ok obviously none of that happened, but I just wish I could always think of something to say that would make people happier and realize we're in this together. it's sappy, i'm an idiot. the end.k |
