The mall is not so crazy busy as I would think, this being a Saturday in December and all. Bunches of old men are flirting with me today. I guess the rose scented parfume as not as good an idea as I thought it was this morning. I did an enormous mailer for Sherri this morning, and when I finished it I found that she had me make over 100 extra stuffed envelopes for no apparent reason, because they have no address labels. Frown!

Tonight is the gathering from Dan Martin. That should prove to be glorious fun, since it is also the night that I hook up with The Falcon. And My Crush will be at the party. He's pretty crazy...I love that about men...when they're crazy.

Hey, do you ever meet people and think they are totally standoffish jerk-asses? I did, and it turned out that the person was just shy. Isn't that odd? Like if I know someone cool and they have bad luck with women, it isn't just because their taste runs toward the Brittany Spears with a brain look (if, in fact, that is a look). It could simply be that they are too shy to "talk to chicks". I guess I don't get that really, because I so seldom get nervous to talk to people. Although, people do intimidate me into silence with thier coolness. Like if someone is cool, I assume they must be cooler than me; then I am less likely to talk to them. One time, someone thought I was giving them a dirty look when actually, I was too terrified to speak. So that's just interesting to me.

What else is interesting is my cats. If I'm sleeping in the bedroom, they will pound on the door and meow loudly and just genrally create a ruckus until I let them in. Then, Pentelope walks around the room, tries to get petted, then leaves once she sees that I'm asleep. Clarence, OTOH, just wants to sleep on my pillow. It's very cute. When she was a tiny kitten, she'd attack my head while I slept to secure her spot on my pillow. She just seems to want to be the alpha cat...which as you well know at my house...it ME!

Speaking of meowing loudly, Katie has a cat named Lupin that has severe "mommy-seperation anxiety" issues. If Katie goes into the bathroom for even two minutes, Lupin will stand at the door and howl like he's injured. When he first started doing this, Katie would come rushing out just to have him smirk like "nothing's wrong, just missed you." Cats really know how to get what they want in life: "Look at me, I'm sooo cute, pet me, pet me, pet me... OK! Petting time's up. Goodbye."

Indeed.

It's like the analogy that dogs think you are part of thier family. Cats think you are staff.

I totally sympathize. Most of the people who know me well now tell me that I used to come across as distant. My partner is the same way. The thing is, now I know that we're both just shy & hesitant to expose our most vulnerable selves to strangers.

Right on, I figured you'd "get it"

Oh, man. That just happened to me today. I was working with this guy who was quiet for the longest time. I was sure he hated everyone. Then he said something very funny, and I realized he was just that kind of person: silent, silent, silent, FUNNY!

How oft my journal imitates life...
