I Can't Believe She's In My Head Again

I always felt mildly (and I do mean MILDLY) jealous of celebrities for being followed everywhere by a slew of photographers. If pictures are worth a thousand words, imagine how many books are written every day in the hundreds of pictures taken of the arbitrary moments in celebrities lives. Ignoring the cultural obsession with celebrity and with the minutia of the daily lives of the various celebs and the pure level of harassment associated with being constantly photographed, it would be nice, sometimes, to have someone recording the little moments, the flickers of expressions that pass breath by breath, and the progression of a day. For sure it would save a lot of pages in diary writing.

I guess all of that was to say, the following was essentially on such day for me. Something happened the night before (what was that.. Thursday? Yes, I am a wee bit behind day-wise) and on Friday I was just.. well, look at my face:


Exactly. A certain person kept telling me that I looked sad, but I couldn't see it until I saw the pictures. I tried to just ignore it, but well... look, it's sad me. I never would have expected that I could pull out a facial expression that could just look so unhappy. And A kept snapping away.






But, unsurprisingly, my mood lifted. Some people just refuse to let you be sad. We went for a short drive before responsibility was going to set in and by the time I was frolicking in the grassy median, I was smiling.

Wah-bam!


And then we went to the squad to practice for our EMT final. It was long, it was .. long. But it was good and reassuring and necessary and, dare I say, somewhat fun with the people who were there. And by the time we were done, I was laughing. I was also on a motorcycle, which does amazing things to lift my mood. When I really laugh, and I do mean really really laugh, I am absolutely of the throw my head back sort..




I was sitting on the bike in preparation for my ride a few days later. But more on that next time.




I love being able to go back through the day and just see Thursday night gradually lift. Thanks A for being there and for keeping track.
