An "Out There" Post...
I wrote in a recent entry that I just saw I (heart) Huckabees. And so little things from this movie keep popping into my head. Like the whole blanket theory thing. If you haven't seen the movie - it's basically a metaphor for the fact that everything is the same and there's no difference between you and someone sitting next to you or your stapler, or whatever. I don't quite understand it, but I think I get the gist.
So yesterday at work I was talking to a coworker and the thought popped into my head - where does this person stop and I begin? Just like in the movie when Jason Schwartzman is holding up the picture of Jude Law and asking him "Is this you or me?" It's a little out there, I know...but a lot of the time when someone annoys me I end up seeing myself or parts of my own personality in them. And I guess that's part of what annoys me - that they remind me of a part of me that I might not like so much. Whether that's being overly ambitious to the point of obnoxious - or being lazy, or whatever. Anyway - that's really way out there, but that's what I was thinking about this morning.
I had a dream last night that Chris was super mad at me. Then when I woke up this morning, I couldn't shake the feeling! I hate it when that happens. I think I had the dream because right before I fell asleep I finished reading I'm Not the New Me by Wendy McClure who is a blogger and a columnist for Bust. I really recommend it. She writes about the weirdness of relationships between online people and mostly about her weight loss adventures.
I went to knitting last night. We had a good time and I should've brought my camera b/c there were so many of us there! I'm glad our knitting group is growing and that there's a good amount of younger, fun knitters in the area.

I totally understand the whole "disliking other people because they posess some irritating qualities like me" thing. It gets a bit out of control though sometimes. Like, there is this woman that I used to work with who drove me up the wall because she was soooo inconsistant. That is one of my insecurities. But then I started thinking about everything else she does that drives me crazy and going, "Do I do that? Or that?!"
Hmmm...hopefully you made sense out of that little rant there.
