adventures with brunette girls and their books.

[gfrancie]

As I was riding the bus (you notice I do that a lot)I was reading my book and I suddenly thought to myself on that sweltery summer day, "Did I put on panties this morning?" I had no recollection of the matter, but it turns out I did! It was a slightly nervous moment, because I was wearing a skirt and I was in certain places that were breezy.

I walked down the lane, with a happy refrain...(quick what is that a line from?)

I was on the ferry and sat across from a middle-aged woman doing the Seattle P-I crossword. Easy...
I continued to read my book and listen to people behind me, discuss yoga.
"I read this book, called yoga for wimps, though I am not sure if it was called that"
"was it yoga for dummies"
"no, but something for losers or idiots, so I think it was yoga for wimps, though it could have been something else"
"oh so what is it about?"
"oh you know, yoga and stuff, see I am really tight" (I suppose a person could make a joke here, but these were middle-aged sometimes-hippie types that don't go for those immature jokes)
"uh huh, so it helps you become flexible"
"well no, it just helps you do certain poses, yoga is hard you know and I am always quitting my classes, I just don't have any flexibility, I haven't touched my toes...since well since never I am just too tight"

the fact that I can recite this conversation says something.
none of it is good either.
I had to get up, and leave to keep what little sanity I had intact. Plus I made them nervous when I was reading my book and I laughed out loud. I am not crazy people, I just know what is funny.

I stood out on the deck of the ferry and watched as a seagull flew right next to me. and then below me about five feet. It is certainly an odd sight to see something fly beneath you.

Such incredible blue skies everywhere.
cue music...

So, how often do you forget to put panties on?

By the way, surely, even if your skirt had flown up a bit the short glimpse anyone might have got would look just the same as if you had been wearing skimpy g-string briefs? So, why should you be bothered?

Anyway, you would just be being puritan. *grin*

Anyway, the trip on the ferry sounded lovely, except for the yoga people.

PS.

I've just had a thought.. How can you forget to put panties on?

Surely, when you put your skirt on you'd see if you were or not.. unless you always leave your panties as the last thing to put on or you hardly every bother with them, in which case putting them on is the unusual bit.

The other question is, how did you find out if you were wearing them when in public without possibly showing too much to the world?

(Hey! I'm bored, ok? The Notwork keeps going up and down and I can't reliably download the software patches I need to carry on with what I want to do.)

I shifted in my seat, felt my skirt and realized I did have panties on.
It was so hot out that my clothes were sticking to me.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

it doesn't happen often.
trust me.
I just didn't feel like treating the world to such a sight. I do have some standards
some.

the ferry is always pleasant.
except when there are drunk baseballs fans.

[mrod.livejournal.com]

Hehe.. they'd not notice anyway.

[cellophn.livejournal.com]

[noogienubs.livejournal.com]

Re: damn..

[cellophn.livejournal.com]

Re: damn..

[noogienubs.livejournal.com]

Sorry I can't..I wear underwear on a regular basis.

Re: damn..

[mrod.livejournal.com]

Hmm.. I misread that as "Sorry I can't wear underwear on a regular basis" and got very confused. Oops! :-)

Re: damn..

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

yeah, she actually forgets to wear her underwear a lot, don't believe anything she says.

Re: damn..

[mrod.livejournal.com]

Erm.. how do you know this?

Re: damn..

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

because she is a friend of mine. I hang out with her a lot.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Re: From the mouth of the great Sue

you need to get out more often.

[devo68.livejournal.com]

Odd. I was standing on the top of the parking structure and watched a crow fly below me. Maybe the same time?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

spooky.

I'm the evil, you're the good.

[alendrel.livejournal.com]

Heh, you seem to have the most amazing luck with pulling bus crazies. I get my share every now and then, but nothing that regular.

[noogienubs.livejournal.com]

Hey Gennie, the background in your pic sure does look familiar! HM! *wink*

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

it is that cheap whorehouse.

[jjsaysblah.livejournal.com]

well, you weren't on messenger and now i need to go run errands. i didn't know if you would be checking your email so i thought i'd stick this here, and i won't be able to check mine later... i have to rebuild this stupid computer AGAIN... don't ever buy a fuckin' HP.

anyway, i can't make the charter meeting of the bourbon appreciation society tomorrow due to lack of funds... we REALLY need to get new members and start charging dues... but next week i will have been paid again, and can do it. it might even work out better, because midterms will be over and i won't have that "worry about needing to study" thing hanging over my head.

i may be online tonight, if i can get this thing working again after i put new guts in it. yammer at me in IM if you wanna.

I know! I know! Pick me!!! *raises hand*

Re: I know! I know! Pick me!!! *raises hand*

[yoko.livejournal.com]

Yeeaahhh!!! I love gold stars! Can I have a smiley face sticker too?

yes, you <i>do</i> know what's funny!

[photosexual.livejournal.com]

And, I have to say, I check myself for panties daily, and still find I'm not wearing them! But then, I never do... until after midnight when I change sexes.

[photosexual.livejournal.com]

I am, in fact, a dork for trying to make the subject line with italics, and failing miserably. See? still up there. HTML. Naked. Visible. Oops.

Re: yes, you <i>do</i> know what's funny!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

good to hear that you do check.

Re: yes, you <i>do</i> know what's funny!

[noogienubs.livejournal.com]

I'm scared. Please hold me.
