How Did You Get Here?

Nobody's Supposed To Be Here - Deborah Cox

It's a random thoughts kind of day . . .

On pencil skirts:
They are tight, they are form-fitting . . . and on the right person, they are damn sexy. But ladies, please . . . pay attention to how they look after you’ve walked around for more than ten minutes. Because pencil skirts shift. And if the slit that’s supposed to be back and centre is anywhere close to your kneepit, it just looks sloppy. And for heaven’s sake . . . ixnay on the VPLs.

I'm talking about the kind of spark that happens between two people. What happens when you meet someone that you think you click so well with . . . only to have nothing else happen? It’s so Carrie/Berger. You’re left wondering if you’d imagined the whole thing and then the situation get so polarized that the only thing you can do is shield your eyes and ask, “What the !@%& happened?”

Oh, screw this section . . .

And yes, I had mentally written this entry during the morning commute.

Be patient, be patient . . .
