I don't need to know your stories... fact is, we're in the same business of fabricating things to make ourselves seem more interesting

do you ever tell someone else's story as your own, and then after awhile you actually believe it's yours?

Man. This rumination hit me hard. Never realized I do this... I'm not going to stop, but I've never really realized I do this.

My sister calls me out on this. But I swear, I remember being in a storm, while in a row boat, in the middle of the ocean when we lived in Hawaii. :)

I think it's a pre-requisite to being mildly interesting. Grandma watching wrestling might be slightly amusing. But if Grandma is in the octagon with another senior at the home in an all out grudge match, well, who wouldn't be intrigued?

-Someone recently asked me what I do in my free time. Laughing, I responded, “What free time?” But, secretly, I knew the answer – running errands. There are days, in fact, when I spend more time running errands than doing actual work. What happened to the lazy days of our youth? When I was a teenager, an afternoon was not complete unless I played at least four hours of NHL ‘94 on Genesis. In college, studying slowly began to compete for attention with napping and drinking games involving a quarter, ping pong ball, or pledge. In my twenties, I finally acquiesced and got a CVS card. And now, at thirty, the fucking dry cleaner knows me by name. Some are admittedly frivolous, others seemingly crucial, but no matter what I do these days, I feel like I’m running fool’s errands.
-I get some of my button-down shirts dry cleaned and others laundered. But the dry cleaner always seems to return my shirts hanging in no particular order. At least separate the laundered shirts from the dry cleaned shirts so I can continue to pretend it actually makes a difference.
-This being Los Angeles, a lot of the people I encounter while I run errands speak Spanish. I’m conversant in Spanish, so I can chat for at least a minute or two. But for some reason, I always feel extremely self-conscious using the words “hola,” “por favor,” or “gracias” with a Spanish speaker. I fear it makes me look like those are the only words I know.
-To me, the epitome of a quick errand is getting out of the car, doing my business, and then returning to the car while the same song is playing on the radio.
