When a Bad Day is a Good Thing... (?)

His setting: a downtown Winnipeg bus stop at 11:30 pm.

My setting: hemming curtains on my living room floor.

The following is a text message conversation.


R: Guess what? A guy just pulled a knife on me.

Me: What?!

R: Yeah. He wanted my backpack and wallet.

Me: What did u do?

R: I told him 2 screw off & pushed him out of my way.

R: He wasn't that aggressive. He was wasted.

R: He's lying on the ground where I pushed him, whimpering.

R: Now he's taking a piss.


Later....



Me: Maybe it was kind of good you'd had a bad day...

R: He's lucky I didn't grab his knife and stab him with it.

Some Lesser Known Tidbits (Tagged)

I was tagged a while back by Joy and I put off posting because I had a hard time thinking of six interesting things to say. All I wanted to do at that time was complain, but I don't think pet peeves should count (and I have much more than six of those).

Here are the rules: Each player of this game starts with the 6 weirdest things about them. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own about their 6 weirdest things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment on their blog that informs them they are tagged and tell them to read your blog.

1. I have licked a salt block. It was blue, like this one.

2. I'm not a masochist, but I like bruises, especially big purple and blue ones. I take pictures of them. (See profile.)

3. Unless someone has just exercised, or is standing right next to me, I don't like hearing them breathe. I'm glad they're breathing and that they're alive, but I don't want to hear it.

4. I have been cursed in the hair and teeth department. I condition my hair every day and get regular hair cuts, but I always have split ends. I brush my teeth multiple times a day, floss, and visit the dentist every six months, but I'm diagnosed with at least one cavity every time.

5. My 24th birthday was the worst day of my life, for reasons other than turning 24. My 25th birthday was one of the best.

6. I love the Paul Frank brand of clothing, and my favourite characters are the Hot Cocoa Rapids Riders - by day they're EMTs, and by night they're adventurers seeking mini marshmallow mayhem.

I'm tagging: Alanna, Jenn.
