| Geesh, what a day I am having. It is a comedy of errors and I can only laugh about it now. Anyway, I decided to go get a cup o'coffee a couple of blocks away from where I work this morning. I'm not a coffee person but I wanted to get some since all the cool kids are doing it. As I was walking back strutting like a supa-model, the sole of my shoe started to slowly come off. I was three blocks away and I didn't know what to do. If I really was on the runway, then I would have to keep on walking. What to do?! If I fall down, I will never become "America's Next Top Model!"
The street wasn't that crowded but the people who were out could hear my shoe flap really hard. Should I try to look back at them and think "Clap if your horney!"? Or should I try to look at another person and divert the blame on someone else, you know like when I pass gas or something. Then, the sole of my shoe started to come off some more. I was really in for it now.
Then, I remember there was a shoe repair place near my work and I was heading in the same direction. I had to start walking without trying to move my foot off the ground. I looked like Pamela Anderson after her sex video with Tommy Lee, stiff and unable to walk properly. People were staring at me. I just had to maintain no eye contact and act like nothing was wrong and just pray that no one would throw change at me...at least, not until I finish my coffee first cuz where the hell am I suppose to hold'em?
Then I was like, "Oh geesh, I hope I have enough money after I bought this $6 cup of coffee." I would just have to improvise from there, but first, I need to get there with enough dignity. I get to the store and there is a line! I was thinking, "wow, I'm not alone. I'm in the company of my fellow hideous freaks." Yeah people were just picking up their shoes, no sympathy from them. I wanted to scream to them "I used to be you!!! You used to be me!!!"
When I lifted up my shoe, my whole sole fell off like Isaiah Washington's career. The nice gentleman said that it would take 15 minutes. I was like "please, just fix it. I'm hideous, don't look at me!!!" As I was waiting, there was a shoe shine area. Do people really get their shoes shined? Do they have the time for a shoe shine in this day and age? Yes, people still did get their shoes shined. I was waiting for the shoe shiner to call the guys getting their shoe shined "guv'na!" I just thought that was interesting. Anyway, they fixed my shoe and I was back to normal.
Just got me to thinking about how we take the little things for granted. Then I realized, "that's nice" and strutted back to work as if nothing happened. Now, I'm one of you now!!!

| Have you ever been in a situation where you are using public transportation or waiting in line when a woman comes in having an aura of entitlement? No I'm not talking about Paris Hilton in a STD Clinic, I'm talking about pregnant women. For some odd reason, many feel that since they got knocked-up that they should be put in front of the line or someone should give up their seat for them. Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't get the corporate memo, please excuse the fact that the ticker-tape parade isn't here! Yeah, that's right I said it - now deal with it.
I understand that it is appropriate to move people with disabilities and senior's to the front of the line or have preferential seating (and when pregnant women who don't know their babies daddy to the front of the line at "The Maury Pauvich Show"). Also, other pregnant woman need this but I hate it when pregnant woman instantly come into a situation demanding it with their demeanor and body language. And when they don't get that seat or that place in line, they make noises of disgust and shake their head. Granted I have never been pregnant but I come from the school of thought that no one is entitled to anything - you have to earn that shit by asking nicely. Hell it wasn't my fault that you got drunk, made Xerox copies of your ass, had an orgy, and wore a wet t-shirt with the words "Easy Access" on it.
I make it a rule that if I see a pregnant woman in distress, like she has been trying to give birth all day, that I ask them if they would like my seat. Again they are not entitled to my seat, but I hate seeing people look like a mess - kind of like Britney Spears is now. Anyway, I usually get a "no, thank you" or a shocked look. Many would assume that a woman can't give up her seat to another woman. The thought of chivalry should be left up to the man is so arcane! I'm not delicate "like flower" that I can't perform this function. Hey maybe I just want to stand up so that hot guy can check out my ass and need an excuse.
But at times I get confused on who is pregnant and who is festively plump. I don't want to assume a fat person is pregnant, I have seen that happen and it ain't pretty - kind of like when Ann Coulter makes a public appearance.
I have talked to several pregnant women about this and many feel that they need to ask and not expect it. If it happens unexpectedly, well, what a pleasent surprise.
So my pregnant and former pregnant friends summed it up best when they gave me this parting advice, please use birth control.

| Its been a long time since I have written in my Xanga blog with my observations of this crazy world. In my previous entry I had indicated that there were some individuals who thought it would be a awesome to stalk me. Never you mind that a normal person would think, "Gee, I read Caroline's MySpace page and she said she was into 'stalking.'" I don't recall putting "stalking" as any of my interests, hobbies, goals, cravings, nor gift lists. Thanks but no thanks, this is not how this Sheela rolls.
Since stalking is unavoidable thing for some people, I thought I would give some advice to the crazies out there. First, no woman should be stalked, it isn't charming. When we say we are not interested, that means one of the following:
A) Please go back to your parent's basement and revive your "Monkee's" Cover Band
B) You make me want to be gay (not that there is anything wrong with that)
C) Didn't I see you on "Dateline NBC's - To Catch A Predator?"
D) I will not be your Sam to your Frodo in your "Lord of the Rings" role playing game
E) "Crazies" is not the language of lovers
Thanks for all of your support for my Xanga blog. Expect more entries from me on all the things that piss me off!

| The reason why I haven't been writing in here anymore is that I've had "potential" stalkers on here tracking my whereabouts using this blog. It's kind of sad because I really enjoyed writing about my weekend escapades and reading your reactions to them.
Sorry, my friends.

| Hello journal! It's been a while huh? Well, I just came home from the most greatest cocktail dinner party ever! I think there's a new movie called, "Friends with money" and even though I've never seen it, wow, I really appreciate knowing people who work hard and play hard!
I think I must've drank $200-300 worth of wine and champagne tonite! I think this is the most expensive buzz I've had in my life! LOL!@ Thank goodness I didn't make any drunk cell phone calls tonite LOL, yes, I'm guilty of that sometimes too! hahaha!
The house was located in Draper and it was humungous! Okay, California, you guys have your Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Bel Aire but we've got our Park City, Draper and Olympus Cove. You're more likely to see a Lamborghini or Ferrari driving around on the street in those cities than any other in Utah. So, now that you have the correct picture painted in your head, let me get back to the house. I think the guy said about 7-8000 sq ft! He even had a basketball court in his basement! I thought I just bought a nice house but mine is like a shack compared to this one! This was also the first party I went to where they had catered SUSHI!!!! Can you believe that?? There was actually a sushi chef there and he would make you ANYTHING you wanted!@ My goodness I was in HEAVEN!!! I asked if I could take him home with me but when I found out how much he costed, I decided, welll, maybe after I win the lottery! LOL!
Oh, I also found out that my fav sushi place just opened up a second location! It's somewhere in Fort Union and I heard it's huge and really nice!!! I can't wait to go try it out! I love sushi but their other location is so busy it sucks to have to wait 1 1/2 hrs just to get seated! Hopefully, the wait won't be as long at the new location.
I tried all kinds of delicious champagnes and cabernet sauvignons tonight! I don't mind drinking reds and merlots but whites and champagne go better w/sushi, IMHO. I wish I had my camera w/me so I could take pictures of this house but then I'd probably look like an idiot! Speaking of pictures, I need to update my picture on myspace but I need a nicer camera. I love my camera cuz it's small but my friend has a pro camera and it makes me look 10x hotter! I need to call him up and get a new picture, that current one is getting old! I wish myspace let us post more than 12 pix, I hate erasing the old ones cuz of the comments.
Ahhh well, it's springtime again and that means fancy cocktail parties and outdoor BBQ's under the stars! And the annual U of U med & law school party is coming up@!
Goodness, sometimes life feels so stressful but I can't really complain.
Shit! I think I'm going to get zits from this late night excursion. That photo session will have to wait.
Oh yea, the reason I haven't been writing in here much is because I need to be more careful about stalkers (had an incident recently that was pretty creepy) and I started my own group on myspace that takes up my free time. BTW, this is it (shameless plug for myself heheh):
http://groups.myspace.com/askcaroline
Okay, last thing. Yes, I think I met someone tonight, someone "interesting!" He's Chinese and his family is from HK. You know, sometimes, you can tell when people give you unsincere compliments but sometimes, someone says something to you and it's just strikes you. This is gonna sound so corny and stupid or maybe it's cuz I'm drunk, but I was really flattered when A said, "*********"
I was gonna repeat it but now I changed my mind. Sorry. It's going to have to stay secret.
