Stories from an ordinary life

Girl talk

I'm so going to get myself in trouble at work watching comedies. I have that (what my family refers to as annoying, I call it endearing) habit where I'll laugh outloud at the TV. Last night I cracked up at "My Name is Earl" when I was supposed to be concentrating on my work, then tonight I laughed at "Sex and the City." I remember wondering why people were so crazy about the show when the only thing I knew about it was that dealt with sex and fashion. I had no idea how much I would relate to the friendships in it. Tonight Aidan was looking super hot. Carrie was trying to get back with him and she and Miranda had this exchange:

Carrie: His words said "no," but his lips said "yes."
Miranda: That's the common justification for date rape.



I was highly amused. It reminded me of my girl friends when we're being particularly clever. I love my girl friends. I grew up around nothing but boys and most of the time I loved it, but sometimes it could be so damn frustrating. Now I have people I can relate to. Katie and I had a lovely exchange this afternoon. She said she'd seen one of the guys from my work at the hospital filming a piece about a race-car driver visiting kids. I had an idea who might have shot that. Our little convo that had me smiling went something like this.

Me: Was he cute?
Katie: Yeah. He was wearing a black, short-sleeved polo.
Me: Oh yeah, I know who it was. That's XX, he's a hottie.
Katie: Yeah, X was his name.
Me: I might have a little crush on X, he's pretty amusing.
Katie: I give him two-thumbs up.

Ya just can't have a convo like that with a guy. I mean really, among other things, what dude would remember what someone was wearing the day before? (Other amusing details were removed to protect the identity of said boy.)
