hoping to kick the hockey thing but unforchies i am back at work today where there is nothing to do but obsess over things for 12 hours a day for the next 2 weeks :(( so. might be a year of this..
#last summer i thought i would get over the tom cruise thing in the 2 weeks i was at work and instead i cried at my desk listening to the#end credits song from edge of tomorrow and then immediately got so sick all i did for 5 days was watch tom cruise movies on my phone. so.#also trying to figure out why it's so much more embarrassing for me to be into this instead of tom cruise and i think it's 1. my decades of#notlikeothergirlisms where i hated hockey so much. (sidebar. watched torchwood (and subsequently got into superwholock) as a teen bc#the stanley cup finals were all that was playing on cbc and my mom was like well. we have torchwood on dvd lets watch that)#and also. because while it is a normal interest i am not into it normally in a way where i could have a conversation with my coworkers#about it. ALSO. i am SO MAD that i have been charmed by sidney crosby's freakish behavior i HATED that man in grade 5 bc that's all anyone#would ever talk about. and now he is ancient and about to be old yellered (35 or whatever)#anyways. this has been my ted talk thank you.#also mad because i can't convince a waiter in a restaurant to get into hockey because of how insane my conversation about it is. which#happened to me with mission impossible.#isabel.txt
