Lunch Today

After church today, we went to Jason's Deli. I had a "Pollo Mexicano Lite" with no cheese. The "Lite" version uses fat-free butter, cheese, and sour cream. Cheese beyond a bite or two just doesn't agree with me, that whole lactose-intolerance thing (but not nearly as bad as milk).

There were probably 20 people in our party. I'm one of those middle conversation people, the ones who get in the middle of the conversations on either side but aren't really participating too much. When I sat down, however, I was toward the end of the table, but we added more tables to my end, so I was in the middle yet again. It turns out the young lady across from me is also a middle conversation person, and one of the women that sat next to me is also one. And we all originally sat on the end to avoid that going on. We did manage to hold our own conversation, but it was quite difficult.

One of the questions posed — you know, one of those questions you ask everyone you don't know really well in order to get to know them better? — was, "If you could do anything with no consequences, what would you do?" And my answer was movies. I didn't get to explain that I'd like my friends to be there to watch with me and then discuss afterward. But movies really are my life, however sad that might sound. There's probably the element of escapism involved, but movies really work for me.

I also learned a great deal about how much guys suck in the way they treat women. Not so much in trying to be mean or bad (though that does exist), but just in being unthinking about the way women perceive things. But it works the other way, too, that all of the things guy say to girls, girls say to guys, too, just in their own unique way.

All in all, a fun lunch.
