Masks

Surely I'll be rejected or the mortgage will fall apart tomorrow. It's rather inconceivable that I'll be approved and actually own a place.

In other news, my spelling is much better these days, no? Don't worry, I'm just as dumber as always. Firefox has a spell checker extension.

Tomorrow I'm also going to "give back" to the training program I went through. I'm going to spend something around a hour talking to the new kiddies.. a little Q&A in which I'm the star. MMmmm.. anti-social me at my finest.

Which brings me to something.. I've been giving some thought to... Way back when, I used to have these to smallish porcelain masks. One was a kinda happy face and the other sad.. I liked them. I've no idea where I got them or why, but I had them.. and I liked them. In fact, I tend not to hang much of anything on walls, but these I'd always hang.

Hell, even here.. my walls are bare white save for the dream catcher and I've lived here nearly 2 years. I have things to hang. A picture, knickknacks and whatnots... I just never get around to it.. every place is temporary.

My next place.. is not.

So.. I was thinking about the masks and I think I'm going to try and find something like them again. The ones I had.. broke. Porcelain is fragile (which is French for "breaks to goddamn easy).. and broked they dided. I've seen funky wooden African masks.. but they just aren't the same. I can't describe them, not here anyway.

I think I liked them because.. wearing masks is one thing people do. We don't always do it on purpose, but we do do it.

Did you ever notice how some people (perhaps even catch this on yourself) act different around certain people?

It's like we are wholly different people.. but we aren't. It's just another facet of us coming to the forefront.

Tomorrow... I need to put on my "I like people mask".

I need not to focus too much on my later conversation where my mortgage will explode and I'll be left with a mess I won't quite know what to do with.. well, hopefully it won't...

I'm tempted to ask Magic8Ball, but I'm not so sure I want the answer...
