Shattered & Hollow

Nothing dramatic has happened. I realize I titled today's article “Shattered and Hollow”, but it's just a First Aid Kit song I really like. I've been listening to it a lot recently. I shamelessly quoted it on twitter a while ago and didn't even acknowledge that I stole it.

I've also been listening to this Katy Perry song “Love Me”. I don't know why I've been feeling the need to feel empowered by break up songs, since I'm not even going through a break up, but that is life.  

Buy "Love Me"

My life has been incredibly dull. There's nothing. It's just empty of anything. I was at work yesterday and I told my coworker that I literally have nothing to write about for “What's Happening Wednesday”. I only write this every two weeks and yet I have nothing. I'm basically a blank slate.

My coworker told me I should write about this guy she knows at work. My coworker is insane. She has two jobs and it's honestly too much. I don't know how she does it, but there's this guy and she was like I think you would like him. She told me his name and I was like that's so funny I actually know him.

The thing is I don't actually know him. He just has the same name as the boy I know. They both look freakishly alike. The one my coworker knows is cuter, but that's hardly the point. The one I know just recently came out as gay. He went from “I'm not gay” to “I have a boyfriend” and I honestly thought that was really funny. It was just such a sharp role reversal.  

My coworker and I determined that it was not the same person, but when I went into her place of business I saw him. And, I was so awkward, I was legit staring. I was trying to find his name tag and surprise of all surprises it was exactly who I thought it was. 

So, that's the story.  

What's actually exciting, but isn't is that I've decided that I can wear a crop top. I bought this crop top months ago and I've been meaning to buy a tank to wear under it. Never got around to it. I was bored and I threw it on and I realized that I can totally get away with wearing it.

I shouldn't feel this way. I need to get a grip and not wear it in public, but at the same time. How many times in my life am I going to be able to legitimately pull off a crop top. Not very often. I should invest now when I can. I'll look stupid of course, but I don't know I kind of love it. I already know the outfit I want to wear.

In other exciting news I gave a speech on suicide, so if you've ever wanted to know someone who has a long list of statistics memorized regarding suicide, I am here for you.

It's honestly sad that it's been two weeks and this is all I have. A crop top and the story of me awkwardly staring at a stranger. I was so obvious that he actually remembered me doing it. Palm to the face. I'm never going to see him again, but I want strangers to think I'm awesome and not creepy. 

Better luck next time. What is exciting is that tomorrow there is going to be a special Throwback Thursday and the not so big Bubble Righted reveal is going to happen.
