I was sitting here in the library about twenty minutes ago in front of a
different computer screen wanting to write something but having nothing
I wanted to write a post about. Then this happened:
I was waltzing
through the store (well, walking really but let's make it more
interesting than it is) when I stopped to look at a magazine. Not being a
fan of women's fashion--as it mainly consists of wearing nothing at
all--it was a men's fashion magazine I picked up. I flipped through it
to see if there was anything inspiring I could base an outfit or costume
off of. There most certainly was and I decided to purchase it with some
money a friend had given me recently. When I got to the register there
was the same cashier that had been there earlier today when I went with
my sister.
"Twice in one day!" the cashier exclaimed. "Not that I'm counting," she added with a wink.
"Yup," I said.
She
rang up the magazine and then "euch"ed. "I think it's so arrogant of
him to say that." She pointed to the cover of the magazine where there
was a quote from the featured article saying something like, "I think
I'm better looking than most of the public thinks I am."
I thought about this for a moment.
"Well," I said, "I suppose that depends on the public's opinion of how you look."
She laughed. "I suppose that's true." Then, "What's he in? Is he an actor?"
"I don't really know," I replied. "I just like men's fashion."
She
let out a hearty laugh with an honest smile, this time because what I
said had amused her because it was true and she knew it. This pleased me
because it's always nice when someone believes that and doesn't think
it's code for "I'm buying this magazine to wank-off to hot guys." And
sometimes, I like to amuse people, also.
So here I am in the
library, twice in one day. At least this time I have something to write
about even if I am the only person who will smile upon reading it.
That's okay with me.
Because I'm a far more interesting person than most of the public thinks I am. ;)
