Special Animal
Also, this a doodle of The Doctor that I did during an audit training a few months ago. I still like him.
Rawr!
I feel like "rawr" has been my battle cry for ages. It applies to so many aspects of my life! It can be positive. It can be negative. It can be a "go out and conquer the world" attitude. It can be "oh my gosh, I'm such an idiot" cry of shame. It can be a "come and get me" tease. It can be a "stay the hell away from me" warning. This pretty much sums me up at any given moment... doesn't everyone feel like that?
Anyway... today is funny. After a full day of solitude I needed some social interaction. I went to the front desk (Oh, by the way, I'm in Indianapolis, by myself) asked for a movie recommendation (The Other Guys won... HILARIOUS) and an older man came up, asked me to stay because his question could involve me. He asked for a wine bottle opener, I did happen to have one, but the front desk did as well. As we were walking away he stopped me to tell me the history of alcoholism in women. To sum up... if you drink a whole bottle of wine, by yourself in one night, you're an alcoholic... I have done this before... seems I'm an alcoholic. He wouldn't stop talking... Finally he hit the elevator button... I dashed for the stairs. Ran up 3 flights before the elevator door might open, and scurried to my room so he didn't know where I was staying. Yikes!
After watching the incredibly funny movie (see above) and having the strangestly hilarious IM conversation, I needed some excercise. So I went down to the workout room for a quick jog on the treadmill. There was another guy in there at the time... but no biggie... he was on the elliptical. I start my warm up walk, slowly increasing the speed until I'm at a job. The guy then stops his work out, comes to the tread right next to me and starts sprinting. SPRINTING. I did not want this guy to show me up, so I went to increase my speed.. accidentally hitting the headphone wire... knocking my phone to the floor. But wait.. NOT to the floor... to the treadmill. As I manuever not to step on it, I almost lose my balance. I quickly jump off, while the belt is still moving... the guy next to me attempts to hit my panic stop button... without success. I did manage to not fall over... grab my phone, that had slid to the floor, and jump back on the treadmill very gracefully... in my mind. I laughed. He laughed. I thanked him for trying to help. (He's still sprinting) And I go on with my work out. A few minutes later he's done... wipes down his machine... turns to me, waves, smiles... and says... "hey... you be careful okay? see you next time." And walks out the door. It was hilarious.
Oh my... what a day. RAWR! And rawr.
P.S. The Hunger Games Soundtrack is fantastic. Arcade Fire & surprisingly Maroon 5 are my favorites, with Birdy right up there as well. I must say, The Decemberists have my heart always, but of this album, their song is probably the weakest. Weird.
