pixel39It's been an odd day today. I am the proud owner of a box of Whoppers, because I know that snakes that are not boa constrictors only have one lung. [HR is running a trivia contest, and that was today's question.] How I know this, I have no idea. I probably read it somewhere, or maybe I learnt it at the zoo. *shrug*
I still don't know why there are pictures of Milton Berle on the clocks. It may have something to do with the pictures of Pat Sajak on the men's bathrooms, and the pictures of Vanna White on the women's bathrooms. At least I think that's Vanna. I really wouldn't be able to pick her out of a crowd.
It is windy, and cold (they're saying maybe down to -25F wind chills, at the moment it's -4). I do not look forward to driving home, mostly because if it's windy enough for blowing snow to obscure things, people will be driving 2 mph.
I was talking with an old friend over the weekend, and, inevitably, the topic of "people whom I used to date" came up. Apparently it was still percolating back in the back somewhere, because I found myself this morning musing on relationships, and my seemingly innate ability to end things with pyrotechnics.
People who I still talk to (1). People who I am talking to again (2). People who are completely out of my life and I have heard naught of them for years (lots). People who are completely out of my life and I am assumedly completely out of theirs but we have friends in common (3 or 4, at least).I'm not sure whether People who are completely out of my life but we have friends in common and they dissolve into foaming rage at the mention of my name should be considered a sub-set of of People who are completely out of my life and I am assumedly completely out of theirs but we have friends in common or a category all their own.
Personally I think they should be a separate category, just for the amusement value. And because if they're dissolving into foaming rage, it's clear that I am not assumedly completely out of their lives. The most notable is the boy with whom I broke up because he was a jerk, but he's apparently the one frothing. Ok, I refer to him as "evil", but that's because there's someone else with the same name with whom I do spend time, and I needed something to differentiate that wasn't color-coding.
When you add them all up, there are a lot. I could divide things further if I decided to differentiate by gender, but with me that's probably a waste of effort--I don't discriminate for gender, why should my lists?
The category People who I am talking to again and feel that I should somehow apologize to is a subset of People who I am talking to again, is a fairly new one, and it has a population of one (1). At least at the moment. And it's mere existence is something I am still pondering.

Date: 2003-02-11 06:48 pm (UTC)Actually, you should be able to at least figure out who you *aren't*. Or some of them, anyway.
