Why I am like the Rain Forest***

No, I'm not being threatened by land developers (that I know of)

No, I'm not disappearing by the minute (much to the chagrin of my ass)

No, I'm not celebrated by celebrities (that I know of - but I have a sneaking suspicion that John Mayer is considering starting a website to proclaim his love for me - any day now)

No, I'm not South American, exotic and moist (that I know of)

I'm like a delicate ecosystem and when my symbiosis is interrupted, changed or even jostled slightly, I'm all out of whack, I get all... weird (for lack of a better word) - I don't return phone calls, I rarely return emails, I ignore people, I'm hyper-sensitive, I get into a mood closely resembling depression, but not depression (that I know of)

Here's what's jostling my symbiosis currently:

  • I'm sick (unless I hadn't already mentioned that 50 times)
  • the stupid holidays (still not over - I've got 5 birthdays coming up, including mine - shhh)
  • getting used to driving a new car (more about that later, maybe)
  • sort of getting close to finishing a book (writing one, not reading it)

So there.

***This also could have been titled "Why I have no friends" but then it wouldn't have had the amusing rain forest tie-in

  • First of all... I am your friend, dork. And, second of all... the rainforest is cool. If I could be a land mass...I think I'd be an isthmus.... I may be difficult to see at times...but I keep a lot of things together...

    Regardless... a rainforest (1) contains many diverse things... (2) is highly regarded as something not to be destroyed... and it....er...(3) can exist in close to cities or far away from them...

  • It's tough having such a delicate ecosystem to deal with, right? When I'm out of whack like that, I usually start out trying to gut through it & ignore it...then it usually descends on me like a rock being dropped (hard) on my thick head. Then I start thinking I actually have the plague & am going to die a slow & painful death. Feel better soon.

    ...can't wait to hear about that book.

  • I didn't even get past the "moist" part. First thing that popped into my head- "They make KY for that."

    Sorry. I'll go sit in my corner now.

  • Princess, I have a sneaking suspicion that you may be wasting your talents in the Library Science field

  • now I've got that awful song stuck in my head - "islands in the stream, that is what we are - no one in between, how can we be wrong - sail away with me, to another..." don't know the rest (thank god)

  • Peninsulas are cool...I almost picked that as what I would be... but then I kept thinking of penis envy...I guess I really am tied into this psychology thing... I like your way of looking at it though...

  • Hmmm... while that may be true about wasted talents, the library does keep me in free books and a pretty easy way to get a paycheck. That, and they pay for me to do stuff outside the library (like the conference in a couple months).

    Just you wait for me to finish (or start, maybe) writing my first book- it'll rip open the seedy underground that we call The Library. Then again, there aren't as many slutty librarians as you would think. Gotta work on that.
