Ding dong!

When one welcomes a 25 minute telephone survey for the conversation and human contact, one needs to get out of the house.

(I always feel a bit sorry for them, getting me. I'm usually happy to take the time, but I pay so little attention to brands and advertising that I usually have to pass on most of the questions. Tonight's was on mobile phones. I have one. It works. I don't intend to replace it until I have to. I pay absolutely no attention to what other phones are out there.)

Achieving this 'getting out of the house' by going to the supermarket is likely a) sad and b) rather pointless. Except that I do need groceries.

Racky is agitated. He caught ginger tom coming in the catdoor again (nasty surprise for ginger tom. Not as nasty as he might have recieved - I was in the lounge on the phone and saw him coming in as well but Racky got there first).

It's often my last best hope for human contact.

Hehe, go Racky!

I've been known to do the supermarket thing as well. Have also caught the Orbiter and travelled around the circuit when no other cheap "getting out of the house" option presented itself. The library is also a frequent destination.

Hey, they ought to make the equivalent of youth hang out centres for grown ups.

I thought they were called "bars" :p
But it isn't a bad idea, would be nice if you could screen the people though, otherwise you'd get all sorts of those freakish "normal" people turning up...*shudders*

How dare you! I'm a normal person! How dare you exclude me from my own idea!

[niennahirilfea.livejournal.com]

Lol. I refuse to insult you by agreeing that you're normal :p

[badasstronaut.livejournal.com]

What've you got against normalness?

[niennahirilfea.livejournal.com]

I have nothing against it, I just don't actually think it exists. "normal" implies that there are enough people similar enough to form a majority, and I've yet to meet even two people who are that similar, and so the idea of normality seems to be an unnatianable ideal. (imho) :) Truly, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm hoping you realise I was being light hearted. *worried*

I shall stop spamming Marsden's journal now *sheepish*

And there I looked at the comment count this morning and thought "what a lot of people have replied to my angsty post. Bet they're all about the cat." ;p
