Moments of insanity


Have you ever noticed that sometimes you just lose control of yourself? You kinda know what you're doing, and you know it's not going to end up pretty, but you are doing it anyway and then you just have to deal w/ the consequences that follow.

It can be anything from having a total lapse from logical reasoning, like the time I dropped EUR 200 on a pair of jeans (and only realised a few hours later that I spent CDN $320 on a single pair of jeans), binging non-stop on chocolates and cookies (just for the hell of it, and dammit, cuz it feels good), and of course, hitting my limbs on random street obstacles like parked cars and bike racks.

The other day, I happened to go too fast through a narrow path, with parked cars on my left and a row of parked bikes on a bike rack to my right. Thinking "I-can-make-it-I-can-make-it" as I sped by did me little good, as I was brought to an instant HALT when my right calf got caught somewhere between the bike rack and my bike pedal(??) I still have no idea what happened. All I know is I now have a bruise the size of my fist surfacing slowly on the back of my calf muscle.

I guess we all kinda zone out at one time or another. Like now, for instance, cuz I can't think of anything else to elaborate on this subject.

[Zoning out in progress...]

In other news, I was particularly amused by the following incident at work yesterday :

Boss: Please excuse the strange sounds I'm making... [bends over in her chair towards colleague seated next to her]
Colleague: *chuckles*
Boss: [bent over, under desk] *slurp* *squish* *lick* *smack lips* *wet slurps*
Me: [wide-eyed]
Boss: Ha ha ha! It's VERY JUICY... *slurp* *smack* *breathy gasp of enjoyment/relief*

Um.. yea (it was apparently some kinda orange). ^_-
