I have two toy monsters in my room - the Ice Bat who stares at me in my bed and the glow-in-the-dark monster I bought for super-cheap on eBay soon after I moved to Boston. I remember him on my dresser in Somerville.
Today at the Porter T stop I had one of those little moments of connection with a random guy. He commented on how steep the escalator was and how it was scary to run down.
It used to be my home T stop, but back then they didn't have the panic-inducing announcements at the top telling you your train is coming and causing you to run down the escalator. Maybe that's better, though you would certainly miss the train.
But anyway, it was nice and kind of funny and very un-Boston. But nice. Talking to strangers in the T is something Seattle people would do.
Party at Rachel's tomorrow - I made cookies. Hope it's fun.

No one else is working right now so I decided to write while waiting for my cells in the shaker. (Torch ~ Seabound)
Earlier today I got a message from a friend about how she's wrangling a Bridezilla this weekend (not her words) and how Monday she might be up for some knitting and non-wedding. Actually someone is here - someone has equally little of a life as I do!
Actually (tangent!) I really don't mind working constantly. Guess that means I like working? Back in high school I discovered that my desire for money will lead me to work a lot.
Anyway, back to weddings. The message made me think that, even now, I don't have definite ideas of high expectations about my wedding. I am not one of those girls who has been planning her "big day" since she was five. I guess this is a tribute to the fact that my mother raised me to value other things in myself. (Daddy's Car ~ The Cardigans) Namely intelligence, independence, etc. Or maybe it is something inherent in me - hard to say and this isn't the time for a nature vs. nurture debate.
My goal for my future wedding, should I have one, would be to end up married and avoid disaster. Sure, I hope the guests have fun and all, but that's not the most important thing. I can't imagine myself as a Bridezilla
Off to spread cells!
