It's interesting to me how human beings (by which I mean me) rationalise what happens to them. It's also interesting that other people offer their own spin on things.
This is what random people have said to me over the last three weeks of having a broken wrist (answers in brackets):
"Well at least it wasn't your leg" (Okaaaay, but see, If it was my leg, I would be in pain and discomfort with my feet up and two good hands to type with. That suits me better than pain, discomfort, and inability to do anything at all that I enjoy or am usually paid for).
"What happened to the other guy? huhuhugahahaaasnort" (You want me to show you?)
"I guess someone must be telling you to have a break" (Really? Who? What a jerk!)
"Can I sign your arm?" (have we met?)
...etc...
Anyway, as you can see, I am fast running out of ways to see this arm-in-a-sling thing as an advantage and I now hope that somehow the plaster cast will come off and the bones will heal and I will have a very well-funded idea for an ongoing pay TV series, will win a trip to hang out on set with the cast and crew of Studio 60, or will marry into money. Immediately please.
I took you to the hospital, paid for your plaster, cook you dinner, tie your shoelaces, help undo you pants, took you on the only holiday you've been on this year, introduced you to and deliver weekly Studio 60, have even started folding your washing and have a steady job, car and award winning career prospects. So yeah, I would also love you to find someone else with money to actually marry.
Er, I think maybe my boyfriend here has misunderstood what I meant by marry into money. Obviously I meant that I would like for him to become a teensy bit more wealthy at least for another three weeks so that I can hire staff to type for me, rather than having to use him to do everything, including "helping to undo my pants".
And, so that everyone knows, he means that in a really hot way.
Feminist.
I cannot believe that this diary has become a scene from I Could Be Anybody.
I know there is a arm joke somewhere hear about "breaking up".... but I can't quite find it.....
As if you'd have a relationship.
*Falling in love not included.
