i'm just all over the place

so here's whats amazing to me. well there are a lot of things that amaze me but specifically here's something that amazes me...what people spend time thinking about. we are some really random out there creatures. we obsess over strange and sometime insignificant things. other things that should be big deals we ignore. we hold conversations with one another that often times make no sense to people on the outside and even more common we talk over each other to get our point there faster or sooner or louder or something. tonight or rather this morning as it is 2am, i was going through totally random blogs and seeing that there are some very odd things out there that people blog about. i found one blog that was nothing but list. not just list but they were all made up list about things you'd never make list about. such as books that will never be published, things i would've done had i known you were coming, why you should literally kick buckets. another blog i ran across is completely dedicated to the lower case L. it's a blog entirely dedicated to pointing out that we tend to put lower case L's in words where there probably should be an upper case L. examples given were actual pictures. they had AMERICAN IDOl and someone had a picture of their name BlAKE. wow my lower case typed L looks like a number one. weird. anyway, it just got my very tired and off mind thinking about how we process things and how we communicate and how we decide something is important or worthy of our thought. i know that my thought patterns are very all over the place. yesterday for example i wrote a very long email about a lot of nothing really important to a friend and it jumped from one thought to another with no transition at all and yet she knew every where i was going and what i was talking about and responded. amazing. isn't it incredible how our brains can work and process and comprehend things? that's what amazes me.

Adventures in Metro Land

So I have a really random story to share today about something that I noticed on the metro today and I think in general I would not see in other places. So I was on my way home on the metro from union station today and I was riding right next to an obviously homeless woman. She had uncombed, unwashed hair. Her nails were very dirt. She smelled of liquor. She was wearing several shirts and had plastic bags with her. But here was the thing that struck me...she was reading the paper. Not only that but she was reading the washington post from today. Not only that, and I double checked this, she was reading the business section. HA! Too Awesome.
Oh and on a even more totally random note...Have you guys seen those cingular commercials where the calls get droppped and the conversation gets completely ruined? The one where the guy calls and thinks she doesn't like him and so he says, you like we had a brother sister connection. Well, this new one where the lady calls her husband to tell him they are pregnant and they drop the call KILLS ME. Those commercials are so painful for me. I can barely watch them. And this new one is by far the worst. Seriously? Uuuhhhgggg. Can I get an AMEN?!

TOTALLY SPEEDY WOMAN

So I have a totally random story to share this afternoon with everyone. I probably feel the need to share because this is so amazing and I did it and I don't believe it.
So this morning I needed to be at work, meaning in DC at Union Station at 7:30am. My alarm was set for 6am. The very first time I was even aware that it sort of resembled morning was at exactly 6:47am. Over the next couple of minutes I got up, used the bathroom, got dressed, pulled my hair back, went from my room to the basement (that's 3 stories), pulled clothes out of the dryer (cause I needed the jeans that were in there), got in my car, drove 2 1/2 miles to East Falls Church metro stop, parked my car, went into the metro and stood on the platform. What's so amazing about that? The first time I looked at my watch this morning was 6:47am and when I looked at my watch again on the platform waiting for the metro is was only 6:56am. I kid you not. I did all that in under 10mins. I even checked my cell phone wondering if my watch had died or something. Amazing Totally Speedy Woman will be my superhero name I think. ATSW for short.
