Ann @ MindSay


 

   
Etiquette ?
I was sleeping last night, when I heard a knocking on my bedroom door just after 2am.  I sat up and said, "come in", which MIGHT be foolish 'cause I couldn't see who it was, but I justified it by saying, "the killer never knocks; roommates do".  I figured it was Aaron telling me our toilet was re-broken, but even that was a little sketch because he's literate and could leave a note on it to say 'hey, don't use me, I SUCK'.

It was Ann, the woman who lives in one of the rooms upstairs.  Ann and I have been the 2 complaining most about being cold; the boys have mentioned it infrequently, but Carman especially seems the most apathetic to our plight.  To be fair, I'm ALWAYS cold, so even I don't hold my complaints of being chilly with a lot of merit, because I say it when it's 89 degrees out and I'm running around.

So Ann comes in, and I turn on the light to make sure she's okay, like not sick and needing me to drive her to the hospital or anything.  No, no:  she's coming in because she's complaining about the heat situation.  She's up in her room 'curled up in a little ball' and it's too cold, she's really upset, etc.  And I'M really upset it says '68' on the wall thing but it's probably only 50 because it's clearly not working, but it's also... 2am.  She admitted she knew it wasn't my fault, and she knows I'm not mechanical and don't know how to fix it myself, and she 'doesn't want to fly off the roof' (which I guess is her version of 'get really pissed and overreact'), but it still seemed weird to come into my room at 2am to tell me this.

Meanwhile, I just bought a blanket/comforter that is still in its bag (wanted to save it for extra layer in winter months), so I get out of bed and get it out for her, thinking she could use an extra blanket to help her sleep for tonight when I can't fix it.  "Oh, no, I'm okay under the covers, it's just... I need to be able to spend time in my room".  Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Am I wrong for thinking that this exchange, while not the worst thing in my life (She left at about 2:10 and I was back asleep by 2:40), was incredibly weird?  And maybe...not the way to handle it?  I think it's great that Ann, who is pretty shy/reserved, feels close enough to me to come to me with her problems, but at the same time... tomorrow night when I'm home from teaching is a great time.  Hell, get up an hour early this morning when I'm already up.  But this...just seemed excessive.
 
 
   
 

They'll Ask For My Help....And I'll Look At Them And Say "Fro"
Since it's been awhile since I've been here and I have no one specific item to share at present, I will take this opportunity to just expunge on a few thoughts before the weekend.

Tomorrow is my 33rd birthday. Seriously (and I say this every year), it really doesn't feel like it. Aside from the normal social expectancies that most people assume will occur in their lives by this age (ie; marriage, kids, house, inability to smile), I have avoided the personal interest traps that many willingly dive into by this age. Most people by this age it seems are all too willing to give up what they were once so passionate about in order to blend into the herd more easily. Why bother attempting to stand out when you can buy a bag filled with Affliction t-shirts and learn to like Bon Jovi and Dancing With The Stars? Pass. I've long since embraced my personal interests and nerd-isms with no slowing down. Though it may not net me that kind of life others desire until they actually acquire it, I still feel I'll get more out of watching Afro Samurai and Frisky Dingo. All I seem to share with married people in my age group at this point is the lack of intimacy (at present), but not of my own volition, I assure you.

As a birthday present to self, I went to the Chicago Theatre to see Speaker Series 2009 with Bill Maher and Ann Coulter. Being that this is Chicago, the crowd heavily leaned left but there were Ann Coulter fans to be found. Overall, it was an excellent experience and, for me, a chance to see Bill Maher live as I am a fan. At one point, Ann Coulter took it upon herself to refer to the entire crowd as "a room full of idiots". Prior to this, she made a point to state how she does not like to judge people for their personal lives and decisions. Interesting how this woman thinks one thing, does the other and deludes herself into justification in her own head. In a way, I'm sort of jealous that she can be so delusional and live in her own head the way she does.

As for this weekend, I have some plans in the works of sorts. Actually, it's back down to the theatre district to see "A Bronx Tale" at the Cadillac Palace. It's kind of weird to me that I feel like I'm becoming somewhat of a theater fan, but I do like the change of pace from movies and the like.

Hmmm.. It all started when GRACE and I (GEM) bumped into ELTON and DOTHY across the

hallway papuntang dsf.. Nagyaya sila papuntang PASEO. At first ayaw ni GRACE though

ganun she joined us.. We saw a tricyle at si mamang driver ay nagtanong "san kayo???" so

we said PASEO.. Ayun nakalabas kami ng AUP. (sa amin na lang yung ibang nde pwede

ikwento LOL) When we arrived sa PASEO we went to BPI, DOTHY withdrawed money from

her ATM. As we were waiting for it, ELTON thought of a PENGUIN WALKING RACE.

(cyempre kasali ako si DOTHY  at si GRACE) We raced at siyempre ako nanalo. LOL after

that we went to BLUE CORNER kumain kami ng CHICKEN  ni DOTHY at SISIG sina ELTON

at GRACE after eating nagikot ikot kami then ELTON suggested na we should go

to NATIONAL (NBS) but when we arrived there we saw the CAROUSEL hehehe

sumasakay ayun pumayag 90, apat kami.. (see the videos sa video section) super saya kahit

na nakakahilo grabe. hehehe.. nakadalawang sakay kami dun sa carousel (meaning

2 times hehe pumayag si KUYA CAROUSEL hehe) yun after that we went to NBS and tried to

look/browse for books.  Pagkatapos we went straight(muntikan ng mag starbucks kaso may

exam c GRACE) sa jeep ayun sa jeep hyper pa  din kami. hehehe... pagdating ng AUP

bumaba ba si DOTHY at GRACE at kami ni ELTON sa tapat ng ALLURE... (n_n)
