This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I'm reading a very funny book by David Sedaris, called Me Talk Pretty Someday. From what I gather all his books are autobiographical, but he has such an amusing outlook and unusual way of organizing his observations. A lot of his comments give rise to deeper thought. When he talks about halfway through about people he prefers to avoid in social circles, it made me think about men I don't want to date. I could make a list of things that eliminate candidates by the words you might hear them saying. These things would include but are not limited to: "Now this one is my very first tattoo..." "You expect me to sit through an entire Shakespeare play?" "I can't go out of town this Saturday until I clear it with my probation officer." "I'm out of cigarettes. Can you run to the store for me?" "We can't go out tonight. The state just took all my money for back child support." "Now where did I leave my nipple ring?" "My favorite cheese is Velveeta." "I don't like to read." "I hate classical music." "I never go to museums of any kind. I don't feel like I belong there." "Ugh. I do not watch black and white TV." "This soup (spaghetti, fried chicken, etc.) that you made is not as good as my Mom's." As soon as I hear something like the above, I scratch the name off right away. This just gets me started. I know I'm picky, but I have some standards. Little remarks let you know which standards are challenged and ring the alarm bells. |
