pasitheaI swear that people are blind or something. :(
Yesterday when I was biking home from work, I stopped at a red light. There was a very old woman in the street carrying about 20lbs of groceries. She was making steps that were barely moving her more than two or three inches at a time. I asked her if she needed help. Poor thing. Even with me holding her groceries and her hand, it was difficult for her to step onto the curb. I walked her about a block to the bus stop where she was going; carried her groceries and held her hand. Had to ask a guy if she could have his seat. Whatever happened to manners? For that matter. What the heck, people? There were 3 other people at that intersection, two who'd crossed the road at the same time. They were all walking and unburdened. I'm sure they saw she was struggling. I don't understand how people can be so blind. :/
But it's not all people I guess. After helping an old lady across the street, I continued my wicked and deviant lifestyle by..... Sewing! Weirder still, I did it socially. There were a couple of people knitting, some people working on computer stuff and a few people playing games. Stacey went too and seemed to have a good time and like everyone there, and for my part... I was in a room with like a dozen people and didn't freak out and go into extrovert mode or run away and hide. Huh.
In other news, last night got me thinking about this crazy rave coat I made recently. I think I'm going to take another look at it, but I might give it away. It's fun and I enjoyed making it, but I'm not sure the colors really suit me and there's someone else who'd probably get a lot more use out of it. I need to think about it a little more though.
