The past couple of days I've had one of my cases of Megan Melancholy. I am in a funk and feel all blahbitty-blah-blah about things. It's not like I'm a total Negative Nancy, as I'm just more low energy and bleah at the moment. It's like a little dark cloud settles over me and I'm perpetually aware of it and hmphy inside as a result. Move on dark cloud!

This week in the world of kooky interactions with people I know, I had this one with the Big Boss while I was standing in a coworker's doorway chatting, and he walked by a couple of times.

Me: Are you waiting to talk with one of us?
BB: No, I'm just wandering the halls. (Indicating that, yeah, he is waiting to talk to one of us.)
Me: Oh yes, because that is what you do all day. Clearly.

Then, I had this convo with my Waving Buddy, who is in his 30s.

Me: Hey! Have you seen the movie Twilight?
WB (while giving me "a look"): NO. (pause) And, if I had I probably wouldn't admit it anyway.

Oh right.

To be fair, I didn't come up with this out of nowhere. I was talking with another coworker whose daughter is really into the Twilight books when WB walked up. However, I had a real problem because coworker's daughter didn't like Edward in the movie. She prefers Zac Ephron. Ew. I take issue with Zac Ephron's hair and just don't get it, whereas Edward is a fox in my eyes. My coworker argued that Edward's head is too large for his body, so his body is totally out of proportion. Yes! Love it! I've discovered this is exactly what I like. Oddly, I suppose, I'm attracted to guys with large melons and small bodies. It just does something for me. Rarr!

Later on, for reasons unknown, and as if the Twilight question wasn't enough, I decided to unload a number of my people-food annoyances/sanitary concerns on to WB while in conversation. I realized what I was doing, and was like, "Anyway, I have some issues with this..." to uncomfortably wrap it up, and he responded with, "Apparently."

I saw Adventureland last weekend and really liked it. I can't think of one bad thing to say about it. I was expecting a dippy movie about kids working at an amusement park for the summer, but instead it was a charming, funny, and surprisingly deep movie about 20-somethings working at an amusement park for a summer.

And, my garden is so lovely right now. I spent a few hours working on it last Sunday, and it's making me super happy right now in all its messy colorfulness. There are tulips and other seasonal flowers mixed in with my begonias, herbs (chives and parsley are still thriving!), bleeding heart, lavender, rosemary, and other greenery. I see my lily plant coming up. I can't wait! Once the seasonal flowers have run their course, I will have some more planting to do.

Had fun girls evening with the ladies this week. We all brought a delicious spread of treats and watched way creepy episodes of Ghost Hunters. Man. I so get into it! We asked our friend who owns the DVDs if they have TAPS/Ghost Hunters t-shirts and things, and she responded with, "Oh yes!" I said, "Oooooo. I'm going to have to go home and search the merch!" Search the merch! It's my new best rhyme.

Well, since my life seems pretty stable at the moment, and in light of all the chaos with the economy that's led to housing price decreases and lower interest rates, I'm thinking about looking into buying a teeny-tiny place of my own, since that is no doubt what I'll still end up with if I stay more in-city. I'm feeling disdainful at the thought of settling in suburbia and commuting every day, even though I might be able to buy something larger than a cardboard box next to the Troll if I go the distance. Where is my garden space outside the box? I guess this could be a very grown up step to take, but these thoughts are making me re-evaluate my life and what I want. I don't know. I don't even know if it's possible at this point, especially when I'm wanting to work on grad school, but I think I'm going to explore the possibility this summer when I'm not wrapped up in classes and stuff. We. Shall. See.
