Substitute people

I have pretty much drafted out how my previous week had been, but I am not posting it up just yet.

Today has been a day of heart-warming incidents and also, heart-stopping crop-ups.

I now need a miracle to get paid next month.

In situations like this, I can only laugh to keep my sanity.

But I shall not think about that far, but to really clear my mind and look forward to my private, quality time with CSI Season 7, and CSI: Miami Season 5.

Was watching Elizabethtown, and I pretty much like this particular conversation….

“You’re kind of great, Claire. You do know that. Sort of amazing, even.”

“Oh, come on! I don’t need an ice cream cone.”

“What’s an ice cream cone?”

“You know. Here’s a little something to make you happy. Something sweet that melts in five minutes. I’m completely cool with anything you want to say or not say. I don’t need it.” And she continued, “Do you want to hear my theory?”

“Of course.”

“You and I have a special talent, and I saw it immediately.”

“Tell me”

“We’re the substitute people.”

“The substitute people?”

“I’ve been the substitute person my whole life. I’am not an Ellen, I have never wanted to be an Ellen. I am not a Cindy, either, although there is a Chuck who loves me. I like being alone too much. I mean, I’m with a guy whom I rarely see. And I am the substitute person there.”
