What is it with so many young twenty-something girls? It's pretty sad when you encounter a group of 22-23 year olds in public and you swear not a single one of them is older than 16. My husband and I decided to have lunch at Chick-fil-A this afternoon, and were actually repelled from the building halfway through our meal by the conversation of a gaggle of chicks a couple of tables over. Apparently no one ever introduced them to the concept of an "indoor voice", so the whole place could hear every freaking word of their totally inane and borderline retarded conversation. Example: "Like, oh my gawd, my cousin went to SPC!!", and their friend's penguin-themed wedding (WTF??). I honestly wanted to walk over to them and slap all three of them...or at the very least shake them violently until they shut up. They need to stay the hell off my lawn, too. It struck me that they might have been trying to get people to look at them or something. Yeah, we were looking at you, alright - but please do not confuse a piercing glance filled with abject disgust with whatever else emotion you were looking for. We finally just left, because they were so annoying they gave me a headache.
I guess I'm just used to the friends I have in this younger age bracket at least having a brain, and being capable of having a normal conversation in a more appropriate tone of voice.
Oh, and also, I spilled sweet, delicious polynesian sauce on myself. So that was great. :(
As an aside, I thought I'd share some great news for boobs: some British scientists have run a study that determined that exposure to sunshine fights breast cancer. The article states "The majority of vitamin D comes from exposure of the skin to sunlight but many women – exposed less in winter and reluctant to bare themselves in summer because of the dangers – are deficient." and also notes that users of self-tanners - while not being exposed to an excess risk of skin cancer - may be setting themselves up for an increased risk of breast cancer later in life due to not enough exposure to sunlight. It will be followed by another study that completely contradicts these finding. And now for some bad news for boobs (the 'after-market' variety, at any rate): Another study (posted on Fox News's website, so you know it's valid scientific medical data...) has determined that women with breast implants are at an increased risk for suicide. I found myself intrigued until I got to this line - "The study also found a 3-fold increase in deaths related to suicide, alcohol and drugs, as well as deaths from injuries and accidents for women with breast implants." I'm going to be glib and say that the alcohol and drugs, in combination with four inch lucite heels and a slippery metal pole might, in fact, contribute to increased injuries and accidents for women with breast implants. *snicker*
In other news, if my social calendar gets any more full this month I'm going to have to quit my job and hire a nanny. I can't keep up!! It's cool though.
