Smiling Susie

Susie, I think if I were named Susan I would in fact find any short versions/nicknames of this particular name very annoying. So Susie's presence will be brief today. It is not a personality I am accustomed to anyway.

So today I am smiling because- just because. Usually when I smile it's an 'imbecile who doesn't get the joke until it is too late or just doesn't get it at all but is attempting to appear to get it' smile. Today is simply amusement.

Things that have contributed to this rares state of being are

-The Gilmore Girls
-Listening to some poor guy attempt(he refused my help-poor fool) to pronounce my name.
-A man on the bus trying to convince me that I am in fact Igbo(am not even from anywhere near Nigeria). When this was a non-starter on the conversation front he went in for the kill.

 I am taking a drink from my bottle of Volvic water and he says 'You know when on the bus if you are eating or drinking something you should ask the person sitting next to you if they mind'. Upon realising that he was serious and taking the new, cool signs on buses too seriously I asked if he minded. His response 'Not if you are going to be feeding it to me too'. This was a come-on, a chirpse- if like me you were at first simply puzzled.

I had to laugh.

Signing off

Smiling Susie looking forward to what I am told will be the glummest Skins episode of the series yet. I know - I'm too old for it.
