crazy

so this woman at work thinks i'm crazy...or so she was making a big deal of yesterday...she was whispering to a bunch of people in such a way that i knew she was talking about me in derogatory terms...i didn't know why until at the end of the day when i saw Peter in the restroom and he told me...she thinks i'm crazy because i read aloud to myself...not something i do often...only when, uh, certain people talk really loudly and i am completely unable to focus on what i'm reading and the only way to drown it out is to read aloud...i don't like doing it...and, of course, when i say "certain poeple" it's primarly the person who says i'm crazy...she is about the loudest person ever...she comes into work drunk all the time...she'll laugh abruptly at full volume at the least thing anyone says (and of course repeating the line she thought was funny over and over)...that's another thing, she'll repeat the same sentences over and over all day...and wednesday she was singing one line from "Surfin' Bird" all day long...("the bird the bird the bird is the word" not even the other, you know, two lines that song has, just that one line over and over...) anyway, my point is, she's loud and sometimes my brain cannot focus on anything...anyway, i thought it was pretty hilarious when Peter told me...it actually put me in a good mood knowing that...but i also think it's possible she knows i'm doing it because of her and is offended or something so as retaliation she's just telling everyone i'm crazy...i don't know, it's all pretty goofy...

after work Mary Beth and i went over to Jacques and Amber's and met their new puppy Clover! (she's so cute and sweet i could die!) i also got some awesome birthday presents: Robert Ashley: Automatic Writing, Alvin Lucier: I Am Sitting in a Room, and Hell House by Richard Matheson...i'm pretty excited about these...i've especially been in need of new music lately...and now it's saturday and i'm not working...that's a rare treat...i've got some stuff to do but we'll see if it's as lovely as my last random saturday off...
