Because I Said So

I was in a small, crowded store today and a man was there with three children, none of whom he was paying much attention to. One of the kids had a cart that he had no interest in steering away from people, so when I saw him for a second time, I quickly turned around and went down the next aisle. I ended up behind the man and his kids in the cashier’s line, and the boy was in charge of putting his cart away, which he tried to do by pushing it through me since I was blocking his way to the small line of carts next to me.

I looked that boy square in the eye and snapped “Say ‘Excuse me.’ It’s not nice to run people over.”

Then he smiled and walked outside with his family. Somebody cut me a switch. Also, GET OFF MY LAWN!

Um, NO.

Beyonce, please keep your hands off of Wonder Woman’s Lasso. You, too, Megan Fox. I’m not having either one of you chicks screwing up my childhood heroine. Beyonce, you can’t have Wonder Woman because that character is not a commentary on recent political events, and Megan Fox, you can’t have it because you’re too busy trying to be the next Angelina Jolie to really represent what Wonder Woman was all about.

Hey, don’t be mad, there’s always Halloween.

Martha Stewart is, at this very moment, heading up a committee to have my Membership to the Female Gender revoked because of the very bad job I’ve done wrapping up some gifts for a co-worker’s baby shower. Basically, I just pulled all of the gifts out of the shopping bags in which they were packaged, made sure the price tags were removed, and then un-artfully (am I making up new words again? probably) placed them all in one giant gift bag. Without tissue paper. In my defense, I think that big ole’ tufts of tissue paper would detract from the incredibly awesome array of iridescent glitter around the top edge of the bag, and by God, I shall do NOTHING to detract from the gloriousness of all that is glittery and shiny. So SUCK IT, Martha Stewart.

Also, I may have decided not to pick up the tissue paper while I was at the store, thinking that I had some at home. And now that I am at home, I may be too lazy incapacitated by headache to actually go LOOKING for said tissue paper. Anyway, I like to think that the cuteness and usefulness of the gifts I bought renders any impropriety on the part of the gift wrapping null and void, so there.

What I have lost in Girl points today I have made up for with a gain in Nerd points. I scored 104% on my Big Math Exam. And I did that withOUT any “inside” information, so Martha can suck on THAT, too. [/smug smirk]
