What can be more demoralizing than when you're trying to point out something gross to your friend, say, for example, on your hand, and they say, "ILL!!!", and you soon both realize that this friend was not looking at what you were pointing out, but something else. Meaning, you have other "grotesque-ities" on your person ASIDE from the ones you already know exist. How sad is THAT? I think I shall leap off of this bridge now...

On a rare occasion, I ate lunch w/ a friend in my area. Went out to lunch today w/ Cic(gracias buddy) to Mitsuwa, and ran into a couple people there...I ALWAYS get excited when I see a familiar face in places where I don't expect to see them. I love surprises. Anyway, it made me miss when I worked back in OC or in Santa Fe Springs and I almost always had lunch w/ friends...man, those were the days. Pretty soon Cic won't be working around here, and it'll be back to eating lunch in the lunch room w/ my copy of "Order of the Pheonix" or whatever book I may be fancying at that particular juncture of time, and watching Soaps in the lunch room. I guess I could go out w/ the other coworkers, but it's just not the same...
