Me: "I'm going there because I got a job offer."
Other girls: "Why?"
Me: "To pay for college life.....?"
Other girls: "Why?"

Others: "Where will your job be?"
Stupid Girl: "I thought hall monitors were in charge of the video screens."
Me: "HUH?!"

~ Later ~

Me: "I'm going to be a tour guide at this Victorian Bed & Breakfast. It's this huge British house, and I'll be in costume."
Dumb Person: "You wore that in the 1776 thing!"
Me: "That's Colonial clothes!"
Others: "Well, that's the same thing!"
(My thoughts: "No, it's not. I had no idea this was the mid-1800's.")

"What has my mother taught me? Everything that has given my life dimension. The understanding that empathy is all we have. And the love of whimsy that has saved my - *laughs* - what's left of it.

Joan Mulgrew passed away this summer. Attina, you're my nightingale and you've given me everything. I love you beyond eternity.
