What the...
I woke up at 3 today. It's because I slept at 6 in the morning. I'm officially suffering from insomnia. What is wrong with me? I also got my period today as well...only 2 weeks later than my last one. This is freaking me out. Stress? Changed sleeping patterns? The weather?! Went to starbucks and did some damage on my new book, Indecision. Almost done with it but its excessive language and slight tone of pretension is starting to get to me. Sometimes...you don't need to use big words! It's actually less effective sometimes. Nor do you need to dance around language, like it's impressive to twist and turn for some good 10's of words until you finally get to the point right before the period. I just want to know what's going on, yo!
Then a dood sits across from me. He doesn't bother me until after a mini-nap I unintentionally took for about 10 minutes. He asks me if I come there a lot, because he's seen me there a couple of times already. A starbucks guy comes around to clean my table and he says the same thing. So I'm a bonafide regular. I said I like coming here to read because of the view. He then tells me about this random article he was looking at for 10 minutes that showed different islands to visit around the world. He goes on...with his life and work..I don't care. I just want to sink back into my chair and read. But he has this delusion that somehow...this girl wants someone to talk to her and that his life is ultra-important. He goes on...asks to keep in touch. The reason being that his company goes on boat trips...and he always wastes a ticket. I say no. He asks why. I say because I'm not interested. Talking is fine but I have no interest in contacting him or going on trips. He asks why...whether I've had bad experiences.
YOU MOFO. Why do I have to explain myself?! AT ALL. Isn't it obvious what he is asking is out of line?! God...it just boggles my mind...to think that men (or women) can be that dense...to think it's a sure thing that if you ask some stranger to go with you somewhere or to give a number...that he/she'll consent, hands down. Aren't we taught when we're little never to even TALK to strangers?! I mean technically..I'm already being damn nice. And then you're taught even MORE when you're little not to give out your number to strangers, either. I mean, sure sure...we ain't kids anymore but goooooodness...there are limits here people! AH it just makes me mad thinking about it. I'm thinking...a straight up no and no explanation will fit me quite nicely the next time I meet these mofos.
*sigh*
