Did you ever think...?

Did you ever have one of those days where you could swear you were in some strange social experiment?  Ok, hear me out, I cannot be the ONLY one whose had moments like this.  In these strange Big Brother instances, people do things that you just can't justify. I am pretty certain today, that all the goings-on around me (nothing terrible or earth-shattering just random) were part of some experiment to determine what would happen if you threw every strange possibility in the book at a person. Would she break? Would she lose it? Or would she just ponder the experiment in her blog? 

Each moment, up to and including, the random toddler screaming to the top of his lungs at the grocery store while everyone else seems to not notice him (including his parents), has just seemed odd.  Try as I might, I can't fathom why someone would try to ask me a question about something I've just talked at length about not knowing.  Or why someone would stop me to have a conversation about nothing important when I've just told them 3 times I'm starving and am running out the door (with my coat on and umbrella up) to lunch?  In my mind, they are most definitely conducting a complex experiment to see how the subject will react. Surely, they are analyzing each eye twitch or foot tap to prove their hypothesis. 

So if you run in to the researchers who are constructing Kristen-TV, can you tell them I opt out?  No more experiments please, I prefer to be much too boring to live in a reality show.

Oh, man, a similar thing happened to me yesterday. Free drinks at the bar for performing, but my husband buys one anyway. "Aren't you going to have one?" "Nope. I haven't eaten dinner yet. You have money for food?" He doesn't. We walk home. I have money inside, but we pause in front of the door. "Want me to stop at the liquor store?" "Do they sell food there?" "No, but they sell liquor." "I still haven't eaten dinner yet." "Okay, I'll go. You go inside." I go inside and get money. I come out as he's coming in. "Where are you going?" "TO GET FOOD!!!!!"

::sigh::
