But the weirdness doesn’t end there. I hadn’t done my laundry so I was getting a little desperate. I threw on anything that matched and was clean because I was in a hurry and ride-less. About five minutes into my walk to the bus stop, I realized what I was wearing. Black pants with a very subtle goldish pinstripe, orange shirt and because it was windy and cool, a black hooded sweater. Not the best outfit I know. But in true Chandler fashion, I took a moment and asked “Could I BE any more Halloween?” It was too late to go home and change so I had to deal with it. No one seemed to notice, or at least they didn’t say anything. Until I got to my appointment of course. I wasn’t even in the office yet and the advisor promptly told me: “Why, you look like Halloween! Your orange shirt matches our candy bowl!” Yay... (Just so you know I actually think it’s pretty funny).
Just to make things even weirder, because you always can, I happened to be contemplating death this morning while eating breakfast. I don’t know why. Seriously. It just popped into my head. Anyone out there had a near-death experience? Or at least been in a situation where severe injury could/should have occurred?
Again, I don’t know why, but I started thinking of all the times I should have been seriously hurt or killed, but well, obviously wasn’t. Here are the incidents I’ve experienced:
Okay, the last one wasn’t THAT dangerous, but I’m hoping not to add to this list. Actually, now that I’m looking at it, four of those happened around the same person and three of them were caused by the same person. Why the hell were we friends again? Anyway, don’t hang out with him anymore. I’m only responsible for one of these... I’ll let you guess which. I will admit to it if you guess right.
Each time I walked away unscathed. And I now think that one person is an asshole. Oddly enough, not because he’s almost killed or severely injured me. Let’s add that to the list of weird things shall we?
See, weird day. I’m just saying weird because this is another post filled with random things.
Lauren.
I would say near drowning is the one you did yourself.
ReplyDeletei think it is Electrocution
ReplyDeleteJennAventures: Alas, no. No, that one was the only accident on that list. I was tubing and got thrown when I hit a huge wave. I was wearing a life jacket, but for whatever reason, I just wasn't surfacing. I don't remember much, but my theory now is that I sank way deeper than I remember.
ReplyDeleteRonny: Yeah... I electrocuted myself. Which I peronally think explains my really frizzy hair. I was quite young, maybe five, and I got the bright idea (no pun intended) to stick a key in a socket to see if it would fit. I don't remember much about that incident. But if I hit my arm right, it tingles funny. Not at all like funnybone tingles.
