When I grow up

I had always imagined when I grew up, I'd turn out to be a polished, well spoken, classy lady who has her shit together at all times. I went to an Irish Catholic all girls' school for Chrissake! When the nuns weren't talking about Jesus, all they taught us was how to be a lady.

Instead I turned out to be me.
  • Someone who can't eat a cupcake without getting the frosting all over her face.
  • Someone who puts her top on inside out and doesn't notice till someone points it out.
  • Someone who tries to get up from her chair whilst still having her headphones (which are plugged into her computer) around her neck. Almost every day.
  • Someone who forgets at least one thing on the shopping list (isn't that the point of having a list?)
  • Someone who stubs her toe on the bed at least once a week.
  • Someone who sometimes tries to answer the phone when the alarm goes off in the morning.
  • Someone, who has conversations like this:

J: Do you think Macs will ever take over PCs?
Me: Who's PC? 
J: Umm... Macs? and PCs?
Me: What are you talking about? What's Mac? Mac, as in short machiato, like a coffee?
J: Oookaaay. Are you even thinking?
Me: What? Why? WHO IS PC?
J: I'm just going to wait till it comes to you.
*finally, my brain kicks into gear. Cue, giggle fit*
Me: oooooohhhhhh hahaha.
J: *shakes head*

May be, someday I will grow up and become a lady who thinks before she speaks?

ROFL at the Mac and PC conversation!! :D How to be a lady....I didn't even go to a Catholic school and yet got told that 'girls don't whistle', 'girls don't play cricket like this in front of the boys'....gah! So archaic!

I'm so glad you read this. I was actually thinking of some of our conversations on Gtalk when you were in Gujju land. :)

"Someone who tries to get up from her chair whilst still having her headphones (which are plugged into her computer) around her neck." I do this several times a day :)
