Isabel, if at any point over the next few years you develop the ability to magically detect the presence or absence of jewelry, I want you to inform me immediately.

On a related note, I wonder if I was always annoyed by mundane conversation or if that developed over my period of hiding.

...huh?

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

If you develop the ability to detect jewelry or the absence of it, please tell me.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

... ...I don't...think that's one I'm gonna pick up.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

I can't be sure considering most women seem to have an unnatural ability to detect the absence of a wedding band on my hand and try to start irrelevant conversations about it.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Every. time.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

....you could start wearing it again?

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

I would, but I'm afraid that'd start a whole new conversation with the ones who have already seen me without it.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

So tell 'em the truth.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...

You know I never considered that.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Women never try to chat up single fathers who also happen to be widowers, trust me.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Oh, the entire truth.

I was just going to tell them that they were annoying me with their repetitive prattling.

But that works too.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...well.

Either or.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

Are you referring to me or someone else. Because I'd be offended if you found talking to me boring.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Virtually every woman in this city who works a customer service position.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

Oh them. They can go to hell.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

That may be a bit harsh.

I just get annoyed when I have the same conversation five times in one day.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

... Let me guess, asked about how to fix X brand electronic, they kept shuffling you around to the next damn person in cycle? Hate those.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

No, just some variant of them noticing my absence of a wedding band, asking me if I'm married, then some form of "Oh YOU'RE not married? I can't believe it"

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

I suppose I should fix this and what were their names?

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

..You don't need to perpetrate violence upon them.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of unworked rage to vent that is not getting done as I'm on Traffic Ticket detail this week.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Flip over cars that are double parked?

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

I used to.

Apparently the amount I flipped got the force in a lawsuit.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

..I'd imagine violence on grocery stockers would as well.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

Besides, we should go out on dinner.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

So that I can get to know you so you can eventually try and not die.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Ah yes.

That death thing.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'd be able to avoid it without much difficulty.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Hopefully.
