Lately I've been noticing more people trying to get on the Margie train. I'm confused and a bit alarmed by this to be honest. After a lifetime of being an unpopular and jaded loner, filling the lonely hours with the attentions of the few people in this world that I can relate to, and are intelligent enough to relate back, I'm not sure what to think of me seeming to be going mainstream. It's weird, and makes me a little uncomfortable. I've noticed lately when I go places, more and more people talk to me in a friendly fashion for no apparent reason. Sunday, Michelle Kazynski was in the library talking to Emily, my Library assistant, about some dinner they're planning, and I made a joke about how I wanted to go to a party, and Michelle said, "We're getting together for dinner next Sunday, you should come, that would be awesome!" She said it in a very excited way, as if she actually WANTED me to come. What's up with that? I said, "Oh, well, I've been going to my boyfriend's house on Sundays," to which she replied that I should bring him too, and I think she might even implied that that would also be "awesome!" So now I've been invited to have dinner with two Mormon couples, bringing along a man that would make me the third Mormon couple. That seems a little "cute little dinner party" to me. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna go or not, and I haven't mentioned it to Lawrence. I recently received an invitation to a Pampered Chef party. Me. Not my mom. Just me, like I'm a real adult person or something. It's weird. And today, the lady that works down the hall from me invited me to lunch. She wears sweaters, slacks, and jewelry. Like, she's a professional and stuff. Of course, I wear baggy capris, a soiled t-shirt (it gets dirty at work, it doesn't start out that way), flip flops, and a messy tangle of hair barely pulled into a pony tail. I dunno. Of course, there's also been more strangers commenting on this very blog, but I think that might have something to do with Hussy's lack of updates lately. I think her readers are having to fill the empty lonely hours with other people's blogs. Sad, really.
Of course, I have noticed that the man who stands at the corner with the signs reading, "Holiness unto the Lord," and, "Please stop for news," has been pulling in a lot of marks lately. Maybe it's just the weather making people more open and friendly and this will all stop in a month or two. Who knows? Not me, that's for sure!
In other news, I've really been enjoying a site called: www.cockeyed.com So far, I've only read bits of the "How much is inside?" section, where they find out how much is in various things, such as a can of shaving cream. It's good stuff, people, you should check it out! Go now! No, WAIT! Comment first, then go! Get a move on, people!
