Quirky Berkeley

[fancytalk]

I've been outside today weeding. As usual there is a ton of walking traffic down my street. Here are just a few of the conversations that I've caught snippets of today:

Two women pushing baby strollers - "The three of them just packed everything up and moved to Mexico. Mexico of all places! I don't know how anyone could ever live in Mexico."

Two high school boys - "I don't know what my moms was all about this morning. I mean, I took a shower and a shit . . ."

Two men - "Lately I've been thinking a lot about self-enlightenment"

I could condense the hour long phone call my neighbor had into about 5 sentences, but then you wouldn't get the effect of my listening to her say like, ya know, and OMG! repeatedly.

Just so you know I heaved a big sigh before I started typing.

No, I'm not a spy, although I would make a really good spy.

As for my extended breaks from LJ, I haven't felt like talking about myself. That's the best way I can put it. There are a couple of people on my f-list that are dealing with heavy stuff and have laid it all out. It kind of freaked me out. Not the situations, but the fact that they were comfortable enough to write some of the stuff they've written. So everytime I've tried to post something I'm leaning towards superficial surface stuff because I don't feel like sharing.

I can relate. I too find it hard to open up firstly. Secondly my "problems" seem so insignificant compared to tother people's.

May I offer you hugs and let you know that you are missed?

Hey! I posted pictures of a worm today!
That was pretty cool!

I thank you for the hugs, they are always much appreciated.
And nothing is ever insignificant if it matters to you.
I'll see if I can come up with something good and juicy to post.
