interesting things from errin.

I was walking around the Polo outlet the other day, waiting for James’ shift to end. Circling a table of cardigans for the 5th time, a man my age walks up and smiles:

“You got a boyfriend?” he asks.

Erm. Seriously? Right out of the bat, just like that. This is how you want to do this? I was actually tempted to say no, simply to see how the rest of the conversation would have played out. Because if I didn’t have a partner, I would have, of course, been so into him. :Side-Eye:

“Yes,” I said nodding towards the register. “He actually works here.”

“Oh. Ok. That’s cool, that’s cool. I don’t see a ring on that finger though.”

WHAT WHAT? Is this real life? 

“It’s actually pretty serious. Thanksthoughbyeee!” With that, I rounded the corner into Women’s, out of eye sight. 

Even though I was shocked at his audacity, I figured I should still be polite.

When someone knocks on the door, I need to stop saying “Come in, but just to warn you, I don’t have pants on!” because sometimes it turns out to actually be someone I don’t know. OOP.

Needless to say, it’s really awkward. 

Will one of my more creative friends win THIS, and bring me as their +1?

EDIT: Thanks, friends … for nothing! This is my attempt to win it for myself.

Simultaneously advertising/appealing to the Bill Nye crowd? Sure am. 

When Microsoft Word autocorrects bell hooks’ name. No, I do not wish to captalize.

You know what I find really disgusting? Attributing absolutely devastating natural disasters as a warning from (a seemingly vengeful) God. If you were ever interested in one of my qualms about Christianity, this would be one of them.

Re-watching the entire Misfits series because it’s Spring Break, and I’m not in New York yet, so why not? After an all day marathon, I’ve finally reached this part:

When Simon turns and looks at Alisha from the shower, I might have actually said:

“Oh my god, everything is good in the world.”

And by “might have actually”, I mean yes. Yes I did. It’s true. I’m infatuated with Iwan Rheon.

EVERYTHING IS STUPID.
