Visit from another planet
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't eager to open my email this morning. I'm sure that Ron has been told by eH that he has been determined to be unsuitable for their site. As efficient as they are, I'm pretty damn sure they also told him that his matches have been contacted. What would he have to say?? Let's all see.... and yes, my comments are inserted!
"I was surprised not to find an e-mail from you today. Busy day and you didn't have the opportunity or was my last e-mail to you a little too rhapsodic and philosophical? or maybe it was a little too plain old weird, and why are you expecting me to email you daily when we've communicated less than a week?
Today my day was somewhat like your yesterday. Started off early and just got through conducting my last meeting and back home a few minutes ago, 9:30 PM. It's good to be able to relax. Hmmm. Conducting meetings for what? You said you were an author.
Do you like romance novels? My favorite author of those is Danielle Steel. She has probably written over 30 romance novels, and I've read about nine of those. Unlike the more adolescent Harlequin and Sillouhette novels, Danielle's are about middle aged people and often times it is a second marriage. She or her team do some excellent research in creating realistic background stories and settings. Some of hers have been placed in the movie industry, or fashion, art, diplomatic, and foreign. Some are contemporary--others, historical. But all seemingly realistic. Now, readers, do I really have to say what I'm thinking about this? I'm sure your brain is filling in the reaction appropriately!! I guess Ron thinks I'm looking to live out the heroine in one of these novels! NOT!
After telling you about my trunk contents, I thought of a few other things. The jacket that gets worn on an average of one cold day a year (usually I feel very warm year round). A towel and flip-flops in case I stop at the beach. Leather gloves in case I end up helping a friend move. And bungie cords to hold the trunk down if I haul something oversized. I had forgotten about those items. Enough with the freakin' "what you keep in your car" shit! This man is obsessed!!! Oh, I know -- maybe he LIVES in his car so he thinks a lot about what's in it!
I recently did an unwanted inventory on all that I carry. The dealership was doing some warranty work on my car when they called me and said I would have to remove all personal items from the glove compartment to the trunk or they couldn't (wouldn't) do the work. It was embarrassing to pull out all that stuff and box it right in the middle of their service area. I didn't realize I had so much. What all do you carry? Well, the most embarrassing thing I've carried in my glovebox is an emergency tampon, and those are a fact of life, so anyone who saw it just needs to deal. I'm not at all embarrassed by the 2 beer huggies I carry everywhere - one for bottles; one for cans. A gal's gotta be prepared. car manual, service record, nail file, a few napkins in case of a spill,...and wait a minute - you needed a BOX to hold the stuff in your glovebox? How big is it? I still don't know what you have in there to be embarrassed. My curiousity is rising.
I guess I did have one break in my schedule today when some cancellations gave me a two-hour window to play the piano. I particularly like songs from some of the old musicals like "Oklahoma," "West Side Story," "South Pacific," "Sound of Music," and others. Hmmm again. What cancellations? Again, you're supposed to be an author. And I've asked you to describe a typical day in your life, and you ignored that request. You also ignored my question asking if you've always been an author or if it's a 2nd career after retiring from another profession. Your emails sound less & less like you're really an author. I bet that picture WAS old. oh, imagine.
(OMIGOD! I just now read the 2nd sentence of that paragraph about particularly liking songs from old musicals!! This is getting weirder & weirder.)
So, how was your day? I hope it was less strenuous than yesterday. I also hope you are still on your computer and will be able to write back tonight. Ron. Are you STILL going to pretend that NOTHING has happened with eH, Ron?? Just going along like everything's cool?? You HAVE to know that I know, right???
I am completely torn between my curiosity and the OBVIOUS need to remove this person from my life, using a delicate surgical procedure like dynamite.
(yaaa, now Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap will be in my head! I love AC/DC! excellent workout music! there is an upside to this!)
Meanwhile, I find myself frozen, unable to act in either direction.
