Normal Stuff
Recently …
I briefly helped direct some traffic as two cops attempted to manage a citizen of my community (in other words, a suspect to a crime who might end up being a potential client someday) which resulted in the one of the cops giving me a wave and a “Thank you ma’am“;
I gave directions to a couple who spoke little English and were trying to find their way to a particular restaurant. Well, actually … I walked them to the restaurant, because I didn’t think they were really comprehending a word I was saying … of course, I had been saying some words in pig latin just to amuse myself;
I double flipped off some jerk who shouldn’t be allowed to drive. Oh yeah, I also called him an asshole and possibly mentioned something about sticking his turn signal that he was apparently incapable of using somewhere;
I helped guide a gentleman out of a parking space as he seemed to be having a difficult time fearing hitting another vehicle. As a result, he gave me a wave and tossed me a “Thank you“. I like Thank You’s;
I had an apparently homeless, definitely drunk guy open the door and say “Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii” to me while sharing the delightful aroma of his alcohol flavored breath. I said “Hi and thank you” with a smile in return. I think I made his day. However, I’m also pretty sure that within 2.3 seconds after I passed through the door he was holding for me … he had no recollection of that encounter whatsoever;
I ignored some dweeb who honked their car horn while attempting to make what I think was meant to be grunting sounds as he/they drove past me;
As I waited at the bar for my take-out order at Hooters, I had a different drunk guy persist in striking up a conversation with me, first inquiring if I worked there and then saying that even if I didn’t – I should (Amy-Lesson: Before entering Hooters in the future, wait until you are sure your take-out order is ready);
I negotiated a deal with a contractor for making some repairs on my garage. I think I did good. It was my first financial transaction negotiated with the twins …slightly different tactics, similar result; and,
I took some bottled waters out to some movers and nicely asked them to move their tractor/trailer that had blocked my driveway. I also complimented the driver on the nice airhorns he had on his semi. Oh sure, I could have done it without the bottled waters, but it was hot out … while my bottled waters were freezing cold … and the guys looked like they were dying in the heat … so why not?
Now …
There’s absolutely nothing special about any of that.
It’s all just stuff that an average person might themselves do on an average day …
Normal happenings, ya know?
I’m really not a fan of the word “normal”,
At all,
Because just what is “normal”?
Everyone’s definitiion is different as it’s based on their own perspectives and life experiences.
But in my world,
From my view,
Applying my definition of the word as formed from my varied experiences,
I finally feel normal …
Just doing normal stuff.
You know me … when it comes to night’s out on the town … I’m a follower and good to go to anything … even a play !! Though you do have to dangle that beer in front of me from time to time !! 🙂
I’ll be wherever you tell me to go … 10 minutes late ! 🙂
Cokcfighting? Laura you have me in stitches! actually BURSTING my stitches is more like it)Gaaaaaaa!
It does NOT me 2 hours without beer. they have BARS in most of the shows…Dontcha remember BMG in Chi town?
What show do you want to see? Personally, I think the show down in Greenwich Village is worth far more then the show updown on Broadway.
M
Something more cultured…..Maybe we could go out for a night of cockfighting….of course, given my current situation, I’d have to watch from the side….
On a serious note, I am officially floating the idea of seeing a Broadway play…You 2 up for it. Though Amy, I’m warning you up front…this would mean 2 hours without any beer…..
Laura
Oh great…so I can an stand around while you guys get the nods and grins….
Can’t we do something a litle more CULTURALLY minded. Starbucks is even more appealing then HOOTERS!
M
I was going to say Laura … stop that whistling and backing away slowly krap … you’re the one who invented the tops with the “neck scooped down to the naval” look !! 🙂
Hmmmmm … maybe we’ll have to make a Hooters run when we crash ‘kenna’s digs !!
I don’t think Shaft has even noticed it … he’s pretty much oblivious to that stuff … however, he and I had quite the “interesting” experience yesterday while out at lunch … as we were leaving Olive Garden he said to me …
“This is going to be a post, isn’t it?”
Heh heh !!
“Yuhp, sure is !!” 🙂
Nope … Indy doesn’t do hot wings. Though just because he’s spoiled rotten, I do get an order from fries from the Wendy’s drive-thru next door to the Hooters … he loves fries. And he doesn’t share his fries with me ! Whatta hog !! 🙂
What? You don’t share with Iniana? 🙂
“…this bouncing/nodding up and down move I’ve been testing out….”
OMG, I gotta check this out! Guys LOVE that! What does Shaft think?
Mak…
If Amy and I both walked into Hooters, I think that guy’s head would explode…and believe you me, neither of us wants to clean that up…
Laura
I’ve got yer back sister.
(I wish it was your FRONT…but thats another issue entirely…)
Oh…and Laura…whistling ain’t gonna cut it. You can stick your boobs in anytime you want and take the “heat” off Amy…your’s are just as beautiful.
M
I know exactly what you mean, Aims. I’ve been asked by people who know my function(great term, by the way)if things seem weird now. Of course I always respond that no, things were always weird before. Now everything’s wonderfully normal!
Beth
***whistles while slowly backing away***
Hiya Greg !! 🙂
Oh dear … that should be the least of your fears … for I do so enjoy flirting !! 🙂 In fact, most of my interesting situations come from possible leftover remnants of boy assertion inclinations and my lack of fear in attempting to strike up a conversation with anyone that I feel the interest in talking. 🙂
I’m not complaining in the least about the attention, ’cause I’ll be the first to admit … I love it !!! 🙂 However, as most girls will attest, it often doesn’t come from the guy whose attention you would like … it’s usually comes from his buddy !! *shrug*
However, to put your mind at ease … this isn’t verbatim … but pretty darn close to a snippet of conversation the drunk guy (I concluded such based on his weaving and bobbing) and I had picking up right after he said I should work there …
Amy-wan: Are you saying that because of my breasts or because of my cute smile? (Said while smiling of course, but also doing this bouncing/nodding up and down move I’ve been testing out.)
Drunk Guy: Both. (He also said with a smile, realizing that he wasn’t too drunk as to render himself incapable of answering this psuedo-trick question.)
Amy-wan: Well, that’s sweet of you to say, but I’m pretty sure you’re the only guy here that thinks that … so when you become manager here, I’ll expect a job offer, until then … I’ll just keep coming here to pick up my family’s take-out order. (Technically, that’s not a lie … it just happens that my immediate family consists solely of just me … lonely, little me … who doesn’t have to share any of my 20 hot wings with anyone !! :))
Yeah … it’s me spouting off krap like that gets me in situations where I need Makenna and Laura’s help ! 🙂

“…Amy-Lesson: Before entering Hooters in the future, wait until you are sure your take-out order is ready…”
Amy, ‘ya ‘gotta get a grip.
First of all, you’re pretty good-look’n. Secondly, Just because a guy shows interest doesn’t mean he was stupid or drunk – or even slightly inebriated. It just means he was enjoying the sights. Remember, you were in HOOTERS! Amanda and Nichole were very probably HAPPY TO BE THERE! I would imagine the GUY was too – else he wouldn’t have picked HOOTERS!
Enjoy! Flirt! Leave happy!
Remember my analogy of the rosebush – winter, spring, early summer and blossum? Well, this is late spring – the blush isn’t even on the bloom, and you’re getting attention you’d never expected. Enjoy!
Girl … you’re already “normal” !! You’re just a little bruised right now … which is totally deserved considering how bitch kute you are !! 😛 🙂
Awwww … Thanks Danna !! 🙂 I do tend to find myself in a lot on “interesting” situatiooooons, don’t I ?? LOL
I probably should point out for the record an observation I made last week while consuming some Coors Lights with TUUS … the twins are paternal twins, not identical … as though they were born at approximately the same time, there are slight differences between the two Nicole seems to be the more active if the two … if ya know what I mean ! 😉
I want normal again too! Can you spare any?
Do you mean sort just like a normal “WOMAN”?
I think with your awesome looks and personality, life will never be “normal”, but will be very, very interesting. And you WILL be happy.
You’re making it, babe!
Now, you just have the last step to make, and you’ll have an absolutely normal life.
And,
with the twins,
most definitely,
a husband!
Hee hee
Kewl …
And thanks for not mentioning my addiction to Lawrey’s Seasoned Pepper Salt …
Or being a Jedi,
As I’m pretty sure most people think neither of those characteristics about me are normal !! 🙂
so, you know,
there’s statistical normal
and there’s criteria normal,
which just means
some things usually happen,
and some things are expected to happen…
but, yeah,
that all sounds normal…
