Too quiet on the western front

A random sampling of random things because I am too busy to blog properly.

1. Someone has just offered to pray over me IN MY OFFICE. He was very sweet and earnest and concerned, so I didn't have the heart to tell him that he might have been struck by lightning if he tried. This same person has told me that the reason why he is studying law is because God wants him to. "But I don't know if God necessarily wants me to be a lawyer." When I asked him why he would think that God would want him to study law if not to be lawyer, his earnest reply was "I don't know. Maybe to learn obedience?" I confess. I laughed.

God and the law are not common bedfellows.

2. The other day I thought of what would happen if this Djarum was the one which would tip the scales in some freaky genetic lottery game and cause that one vital cell to turn malignant. If I had only three months to live. It would almost be a relif not to have to wake up in the morning with that terrible sense of leaden numbness. I decided, to hell with the chemotherapy. I'd take all the money out of my bank account and travel to all the places I want to go. If I couldn't walk any more then I could bloody well hire someone to wheel me down La Ramblas. It wouldn't be all that bad, really. And I'd have a social life in the hospital because people would come and visit. Plus, if I died, I wouldn't have to work any more. And hey, smoking is no longer a problem. You have to understand that Slinky's just going through some weird shit now, so strange thoughts run in my head. That was the same day when I got home and collapsed on the floor with my head under the bed, completely unable to blink or move. ****itis. It's a bitch. Thank god for unconsciousness.

3. I resolved to do something reckless but needful a while back (Miss J will know what I am talking about). Now I am wondering if I should at all.

4. I was extremely disturbed to find out that there is every possibility that Young Steven might have stolen a photo of me off The Boy's office wall while The Boy was away on reservist. The thought of what he might he doing with my photo gives me hives.

4. I miss Merlot. I miss, miss, miss, miss, miss Merlot.

5. I got a great offer I didn't refuse.
