Does anyone else find himself or herself really, really fascinated by something random in the middle of the day and then really obsessed with researching it? Like, I was reading on Wikipedia about different presidential assassins today and what became of them for no particular reason. Often my random topics of research are kind of dark. Is that weird?
I went to the gym tonight to take one of those Body Cardio Pump Works Whatever classes and realized that I had only brought one sneaker. I was very upset because I actually had the motivation to take the class, so I decided to run across the street to buy some new sneakers since my current ones were kind of falling apart anyway. (I was constantly in danger of almost falling down cliffs whilst hiking.) I bought a new pair and now feel like I am walking on air! When paying, I had one of those moments I have every so often where I think strangers find me really charming and interesting so I started telling the salesgirl about how I was at the gym and only had one sneaker so that’s why I am buying a new pair. She just blinked and said, “Um. Okay,” and then laughed awkwardly in that way you laugh when you are trying to appease crazy people.
My husband does this sort of thing. BTW…like the title of your blog.
