Cat Lady Meets Golden Girls

I actually have nothing to say today. Like really nothing. I haven’t even been awake for twelve hours yet. I watched movies, read my email, wrote a little, went to work. Work was so dead that after we closed up, Helen, Abby and of course me sat at one of the tables eating cheese cake and talking. Very Golden Girls now that I think of it. Who would I have been... Abby gets Rose, no questions there. I think I’d be Dorothy. Sophia would go to Helen. Too bad Paul wasn’t there. He could have been Blanche. The only reason I am getting away with saying that is because Paul doesn’t read my blog. That I know of... This’ll be a great way to find out! He'd love it anyway...

I did get a really cool email today though. It made me all warm and fuzzy and a little giddy, I won’t lie. At the end of my Creative Writing class we had to write a critical review of one other student in the class. I wrote mine about a girl named Erin. Weird thing is, she wrote hers about me. Finally, yesterday, after we both got over being too embarrassed to show each other what we wrote, we exchanged critiques. It was all good! She mentioned me rejecting the ‘normal’ which I thought was kick ass. She also said a few things about attention to small details and creating well rounded characters. It really meant a lot coming from her too because I personally think she was one of the stronger writers in the class.

That was my day. Caught between Cat Lady movie watching and the Golden Girls. I don’t think I can argue with Erin’s “rejecting the normal” compliment.
