Humorous conversations

Two of my little friends came in today. I can't really call them little anymore. They're 14 now. Anyway, they came in and were asking me how my day was and such. Somehow the conversation shifted to what we wanted to be when we grew up. I still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up. I told them of my biggest career aspiration. I want to be a rock star. They laughed. Can you believe they laughed at me? I really do want to be a rock star, but in order to become a rock star the first thing you must possess in order to achieve that goal is talent, something I am severly lacking. I can sing, sure. Anyone can sing. The only thing is that your voice must be pleasing to the ears of your listeners. That I don't have. I can play guitar. Yep. I know about seven chords (maybe more...), but in order to be a succesful rock star, you must be able to play well. Again, that is a talent I lack.
Anyway, I told the girls my plan and they asked why I didn't just become a librarian. I already know a little about it, they stated. Well, then I had a briliant idea. I could be a librarian/rock star. During slow times I could play and sing and then when someone went up to the desk and needed help I would jump into the nearest phone booth and quickly change from Rock Star Michelle to Librarian Michelle. Of course I would have to come up with a rock star name and a librarian name. Elle will be my librarian name. Any ideas for the rock star name? It has to be something really really cool and hot sounding. It's okay for people to think I'm hot when I'm a rockstar, but not when I'm a librarian.
I would have a cape like Superman. I could be SuperLibrarianRockStarChick.
Somehow the conversation strayed further and before I knew it we were all picturing me as a ninja/librarian. I would wander the streets, fighting crime at night. I could fly, too with the use of my cape. Well, not really. There would be ropes all over the library ceiling to support me and make it seem as if I was really flying.
Yes. I think that it what I will do. I will go to Library School and get an MLS and take private guitar lessons on the side. Good idea.

It was really funny when the girls were there. I miss them so much. They go to the church that I left last year. My favorite thing to do is to make them laugh. Today they were laughing so hard that the tears were rolling down their faces. It's a good thing we were slow today. I think I also entertained my co-workers.
Hey, there's an idea....I can be an entertainer.......

Yes, I like that name. A lady at work started calling me that one day and I like it. It's Elle like the letter "l". Get it?
How do you know I have a great voice? Have you been stalking me? *closes blinds*

Oh MY goodness. Have you really? That's just creepy. You know...I have seen a white truck in the field next door. It just sits there for hours. There are big antennaes coming out the hood. And the guy is always wearing HEADPHONES!! It's you, isn't it?
Seriously, though. That's true about the guy in the white truck. Creepy, huh?
No seriously. When have you heard me sing?

Really.Do you know anyone with a white truck? Tell your dad.Then I would call the police.Just to be on the safe side.
I haven't heard you sing...yet... but I will.Because you have such a beautiful speaking voice you must have a beautiful singing voice.

Hey Michelle,

I just read your post from the other day. Do you really still have metal pins in your toes? That's such a weird thought! Do you set off metal detectors?

Yeah, it's kind of weird, I guess. You're only supposed to have them for like 3 months, but my insurance ran out and we decided that it wouldn't kill me to leave them in. Doesn't really hurt at all.
I honestly don't know about the metal detector part. I haven't flown since 1998, so I haven't really encountered any metal detectors since. Good question. Hm...

Know how exactly did you break your foot.They don't seem to bother that much since you can basicly kick my ass in a foot race.
Well......Almost.You can run fast but I can run longer than you can.
Great blog.

Always Faithful !

I didn't break my foot. I had bunions. Really bad. I had surgery when I was 19. It's not a big deal. They don't bother me really. Yes, I can kick your ass in a foot race. I could have beaten you, but I didn't want you to feel unmanly or anything. I always used to beat all the boys and then my dad's friend told me that I should let them win every once in a while so it wouldn't hurt their pride too much. I can run faster and longer than you can any day.
