Somewhere over the rainbow checks.
I was a lot happier when I came to work last night and you know what the difference between tonight and last night is? Billy No-mates, that's what! I talked to him for a few minutes online tonight, and he can really ruin my outlook with his negativity. I need to stop talking to him.
So here I am, and I've got Kim's glove to work on but first I have to force myself to write a letter to the old ladies. I wrote one to Scott on Monday, but I'm having trouble writing to the other missionaries and the old ladies. I'm not sure why, oh right, because there is nothing interesting going on here!
I talked to Diana on the phone tonight and she said she was feeling guilty for gossiping with me because one of her co-workers had been all sanctimonious with her earlier and said that she never talks about other people! Huh? What does she talk about, then? Politics? Architecture? The Pythagorean Theorem? Yes, those things are far more entertaining than speculating on the sexuality of your mysterious cousin or making fun of your boss for wearing his shirt unbottoned a little too far (ewww, put on an undershirt, dude!). "For what do we live but to make sport for our neighbors and to laugh at them in our turn?" - Jane Austen
The exchange of information about ourselves and our friends/neighbors/co-workers is what makes the world go round! It helps us to understand ourselves and each other, and kills a few minutes on your cell phone while you're waiting at the airport! I'm scrupulous about not passing on information that I've been asked not to repeat, or anything that I don't know firsthand (well, not without a disclaimer!), but I love to hear about other people and discuss why they do what they do! If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, sit by me!
I watched a movie called Bob Roberts tonight. It was a loaner from Andy at work. Very amusing - it's a mockumentary about a folksinger with a couple of skeletons in his closet running for the senate. Jack Black was in it, looking very young, and there were some other very famous faces playing small parts.
Oh, get this, I loaned Moonstruck to Billy No-mates, and he didn't like it! What's not to like? Cher, Nicolas Cage, romance, really, it's a great movie and very funny. Oh wait, it didn't have any 20 yr old idiots in it, and the plot had more than one thing happening in it. No wonder he didn't like it. He's an idiot.
You know, Billy likes to drop hints to people about being gay, and he uses rainbow imagery and thinks he's being really daring, (tonight he ordered rainbow checks and when he told me about it, I said, "Good idea" which is what I say when I think you are a raging moron) but I think the truth is, he's a poser. He's pretending to be gay, maybe even to himself, because it gives him an excuse to stay home and be anti-social ("There's no one to meet around here!") and watch porn and never leave the house. It gives him the feeling that he's different and special and has a secret, because he's mentally 12 yrs old, and he needs that. Rainbow checks. That is so lame.
