I apologize to my SG ppl ... but I am in such agony due to my wisdom teeth that I just cant sit here at the computer and be witty. Or funny. Or anything, really. Its lookin like it wont go away without the assistance of a dental professional. Which is just WONDERFUL! Not because of my fear of dentists, but because of how expensive it is just to walk in the door. *sigh*

But anyways ... I dont imagine Ill be replying much or even around the computer much for a little while. I will go through and respond to the posts that require replies, but for right now .. I dont see myself replying to every post, especially when it doesnt really warrant a response. (I know, I know ... and Im sorry, but I just need to get away)




I will leave you with this story:

Yesterday I was on the corner of State and Grand, right outside the bed bath and beyond ... waiting for my friend bluto to pick me up, and I was searching for my lip gloss in my purse ... when suddenly I dropped my bag of groceries. When I bent down to pick all my crap up ... I reached for some stuff .. and some dude's hand was ready to grab my groceries! I instinctively snatched it up, quickly, thinking he was trying to steal my shit ... because it seemed like the only logical explanation as to why he was trying to grab my groceries. Turns out, he was actually trying to be a gentleman and help me pick up my groceries! I quickly thanked him, then he walked off into the sunset. I watched him until he was a teeny tiny little dot, and then he faded away.

I dont know why .. but the incident really affected me. I was so touched that there was actually a kind human left in this city. Especially DOWNTOWN chicago where all the rich white business men walk by and spit on you ... curl their upper lip in disgust when they look your way.

But there is hope for humanity yet.
