coolness
2004-03-11 - 5:11 p.m. Got to run. (I sound like my mother) but it's interesting. There are people who can annoy the hell out of me -- for various well-justified reasons, actually, But then they surprise me. There's a woman I know fairly well -- mother of a kid my kids know. I sort of like her, and I sort of don't. In certain ways I think she's a little bit snobby, and maybe a little bit overimpressed with status and wealth. And I'm probably jealous -- she's quite good-looking and artistic and her kid is quite athletic. But then every once in a while she'll surprise me, with a sympathetic note that was quite perceptive when a bad thing happened to me. Or something like that. She's often more perceptive than I imagine she can be. Or she'll be quite open about some awful thing that's happened to her, in a way that a completely status-conscious person wouldn't quite be -- Anyway -- I think she makes me nervous because she's quite a bit cooler than I am -- but actually, it may only be that I perceive her that way. Sort of like a friend I had in junior high. Anyway. I'm going nowhere with this, but it interests me. Okay. I have to go home now. Bye.
