jebbypalOkay, I admit it. In general, I don't get other people the majority of the time. But still, on itty bitty little things, i figure I would....but then again, I tend to be way too idealistic most of the time.
So here's the thing...am I one of the very few people in the world that doesn't feel the need to hear someone/something or be talking to someone constantly? Okay, ironic since this is a blog on the web, but I'm talking out loud, in stereo. I get so sick of the fact that the second you step out of your home, one is constantly barraged with the intimate personal details of everyone else talking on their cell phones. Yes, I occassionally talk on the cell phone in public, but usually because I've gotten a call or am walking home alone at 1am and figure someone should at least know immediately if crime occurs on the way:P But I don't subject people to my conversations with boyfriends/parents/etc at work in the breakroom, in the hallway, in the bathroom, in the laboratory bay, etc. I swear, everywhere you go everyone is talking constantly. No longer can you enjoy a simple thing like a peaceful walk to work in silence.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, I so don't understand the compulsion to whistle or hum when one is not carrying on a conversation of some sort. I swear, someday you will all read a headline in a newspaper or tabloid stating that "Crazed Woman Goes Psychotic in Grocery STore. Assaults Patron by Forcing Magazines Down his/her throat". Really America, is it that bad to just be QUIET?? And don't get me started on my coworkers at work....cause if I don't like the tone of your voice when you talk to me, odds are I ain't gonna like it when you hum with it either.
Yes, I know, I'm insane. Lots of sound bother me and when they bother me too much, I get well, just a little shy of psychotically furious. *deep breath* Ugghh...I'm even tired of music, that is how desperate I am for quiet. Sigh, Methinks my xmas trip to the middle of no-where OK can't come soon enough...and thankfully it will be winter so I won't be shouting out my window at the crickets in the woods. *evil grin*
