feeling the fool...

       the second part of this month's kween_of_the_queens writing challenge follows. this might get dangerous, lol.

Challenge B: That's right, my loyal subjects, it's April Fool's Day. To celebrate, I'd like you to tell me about those things that make you feel foolish. Another list! 25 things on this one, too! Or perhaps you'd like to take it in a different direction? Perhaps you'd like to talk about your favorite April Fool's prank that you've pulled or fell victim to or heard about instead.

1. falling in love with someone. le sigh.
   
2. "forgetting" something that's on my head/face/body. for example, i was at the gym over christmas break and as i was leaving i freaked out because i couldn't find my beanie. i retraced my steps only to find it ... yeah, on my head. i do that with my glasses quite often. even when they're in their proper place. you know... right in front of my eyes.
   
3. attractive men. one of countless examples: today there was this guy at my sandwich shop who decided to get up and walk across the room to fill up his soda just as i was putting a sandwich in the toaster oven. i definitely missed the toaster. ham and bacon all over the place.
   
4. reading the same page half a dozen times without realizing it. i used to do this with dickens a lot. 
5. being nearly 27 and completely lacking any sort of professional career or even a plan for one. 
6. when i unintentionally make off-hand remarks that hurt people i care about.
   
7. waving back at someone only to realize they were waving at someone behind me. this happens all. the. time. it's almost to the point where i just ignore everyone now in the likely case that it's not me they're saying "hi" to.
8. when former professors or classmates come into my sandwich shop and see how far my degree has taken me. there's one guy who comes in fairly regularly, and i'm convinced it's just to gloat. even though he probably doesn't have a clue who i am.
   
9. this one, like number 7, is probably pretty universal, but i do it alot -- the whole walking into a room and having no idea what you were doing there thing.
10. when i forget that my walls aren't soundproof and start belting it along with celine dion or the glee sountrack.
    

more coming. eventually.
