I wanted to say "no" but it came out "so" instead.
Damn stupid speech disorder.
Then I turned away and stared at the window beside me for 2 hours.
It was very awkward.

That's cute.

Some of it was nice.
I had a long time to contemplate it because it was a very slow train.

2 hours of awkward silence with a stranger, that would indeed suck!
My mouth will screw up my words in situations like that too, or I'll mean to nicely say "no" but it will come out sounding harsh and angry.

I can't go to work now. :(

Ah well. It's just a day of being sick.




..I'm inclined to rely on body language than speech.
And if I have to be good at speech, would require a visualized letter on my head (instead of just language thought) and say it as if I'm reading it.

Yes. I think it came out sounding weird.
Like I was being sarcastic or something, I don't know.
It's weird how I can make the s sound ok when I don't want to.
My mouth is traitorous.

BURNING TO THE GROUND - The huge house at the other end of my apartment building is totally, completely, incredibly burning to the ground and to the skies. There are a dozen fire trucks of various sizes. There's a crane holding a blindingly bright light high up over the centre of the burning house, providing light for the firefighters. They've been fighting that fire for 4 hours. From time to time they bash another hole in the roof, releasing enormous plumes of white smoke into the welcome wind. People? No, there's nobody there. This is Montreal in January, which means the people are in Florida. The house had to be empty to burn in every room, every floor, basement, attic - I see flames and flashlights in various parts of the house. The whole thing looks ghostly, looking through smoke.

I still remember a day in elementary school when a popular boy abruptly asked for some of my food, and I replied "why would I give any to you?!" It came out sounding so b*tchy ( 8O ), when I was actually genuinely inquiring why I should share with someone who was never nice to me. He seemed stunned and possibly hurt. I've always hated that memory.

The friendzone thread got really out of hand, the other individual was being very provocative and irrational. Don't be hard on yourself over it.

Wow that's crazy! 4 hours seems like such a long time to be fighting a house fire. I am always amazed that firefighters are able to endure all of that heat while wearing those heavy suits and preforming strenuous work.

That explains why there are so many Canadians down here right now....(not the fire, the Florida comment :) ).

Did you take this picture ImAnAspie?
It's fantastic! (And not just because I am crazy for kitties :D ) The lighting is phenomenal!


Thank you. Yes I did. That was when we lived in our little studio apartment at Sefton.

I took it with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Not a bad camera for a phone.

Okay thanks :) . Yeah I concluded I should stay out of the irrational threads...thus I haven't checked back with that one.

So I snuck into my mom's office...

There's a party. A birthday party. 8O And the chief just gave me a 200g sized Toblerone chocolate. (No, I'm not the celebrant. The celebrant is a would be 50-year old employee.)

Now they're more or less bugging me for the last 3 days to arrange their documents because they.. Ah, suck at tech.

I would not have guessed it was taken on a camera phone. It's the kind of photo I would expect to see in a well curated gallery. And I am not easily impressed by photography :D .
