Here is how you know you have spent too much time online reading people's blogs and not enough time talking to your real life friends: you begin to see people from online in real life.

Which happened to me today, at the local ICBC office. I was waiting in line with my Dad to renew his licence, when I saw the little kid in front of me. He looked EXACTLY like justcrystal's son Marc, I kid you not. Little, chubby, and a ball of energy, the kid turned around and gave me a smile, I almost melted. I often don't care much for kids, because they often don't care much for me, but the little boy, sigh, was so adorable. Later I saw the mom had a baby girl in her arms. Did not look like little Nina, but cute in her own way all the same.

See what I mean? I am so obsessed with people online that I'm actually refering to them as if they were real life acquaintances. Sigh.

Aren't I pathetic?

Wait, don't answer that. I don't think I can bear the truth. I'd like to think myself as having a life, as delusional as it may be.

On a separate note, I finally got my hair cut today. It was brutal. My stylist stressed how DRY my hair was, and recommended strongly to get some much-needed treatment for my hair, all in Japanese. One big shocker of the day. Second shocker of the day, my Japanese conversation has grown so poorly. It wasn't good to begin with, but still! Third shocker of the day, my phone interviewer from a week ago, finally calls, and said that they have decided to move two other candidates to the next interview, meaning that I have failed at getting my foot in the door for greater things in the bucks. Since I was busy doing my crossword puzzle when the call came in, all I said was, "Thank you for calling, have a nice day." It wasn't until later that the message was getting through my thick skull, and I finally felt, oh, I didn't get the job, what a loser I am.

I'm slow I tell ya. Feelings, emotions, ideas, etc, etc, all come into my brain via the network that's as slow as a brontosaurus's.
