My usual mistaken age adventures

I'm feeling spammy tonight obviously. I haven't done three posts in the same day for awhile. *L* Anyway, I have another 'me being mistaken for someone a hell of a lot younger than me' story from today. The fact that I have so many of them is worrying.

So, I was at the local library helping my mum find the Terry Pratchett books, because really, what are daughter's for? and I wandered into the young adult's section to see if their manga selection had miraculously grown. This was not the case, so I prepared to walk out again, but was talked to by the young adult's librarian who asked if I was looking for manga. This triggered the happy talking of this girl sitting at a computer nearby who seemed starved for talking about manga/anime (not to mention looking up Hatahori pictures...).

I couldn't think of a polite way to get out of such an enthusiastic conversation (yes, I can be polite to total strangers... and distant family relations who give me money) so I just agreed, discussed a few of my favourite series, agreed that Sesshoumaru was indeed hot, etc. I finally got in a question asking what school she went to so I could slip in the information that I didn't, and she mentions my freaking middle school! My answer of, "oh, I went there" was completely ignored to continue her babble, though I believe the "We should hang out some time" was what made me wince because it really drove home that I was at least eight years older than her. So there I was, feeling old and being mistaken for a high school freshman if not younger. Life is weird.

(Did manage to escape in the end while being unfailingly polite... I think I should blame reading too many Iruka fics today for my politeness...)

Interview, Naruto, brain fry

Well one interview down. It didn't help that someone tried to fax something (which is connected to my phone) at 2am this morning, nor that I slept horribly and woke up early only to have them call me an hour later than they were supposed to. Still, didn't do too badly.

Brain is definately slow now. Found myself wondering why I've been reading so much Naruto fic lately, then remembered that I've been watching Naruto lately *facepalm* I hope I survive Bujinkan tonight with my brain this slow.

Have a busy day. Have to get new glasses, go to the doctor and pick up a book from the library for my bro. Unfortunately, just want to go back to sleep. Wonder if I should try...

My mind is so completely frelled atm. The doctor predictably sent me to get my foot x-rayed tomorrow. In the meantime, am on muscle relaxers to encourage healing. They don't usually affect me this bad, but the lack of sleep means I feel rather like I'm floating. It's even hard to concentrate enough to type properly. Actually, if I close my eyes, the room starts spinning. Huh.

Have other things to talk about, but won't now. I can't really do anything while in thi sstate.
