People always say to me... the following:
".......I can't believe that happened"
"That would only happen to you......"
"......Why is your life so awkward?'
"You should definitely write a blog- I'd pay to read about your life....".
I'd never be so arrogant as to ask people to pay to read about the mundane every day happenings in my life, but, I have decided to bow to public demand and record the awkward nuances I experience on a daily basis.
As my role model and mentor, Ms Jones herself said:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces."
For the sake of sounding less melodramatic than usual, I will apply this quote to my life with the following scenario:
Picture the scene, you're walking down the street, and you're feeling good, make up looks good, hair, not as a frizzy as usual and it's a good day. You walk, maybe even saunter down the street, an air of confidence and glance in a passing shop window, just to double check that your positive thoughts about yourself are true. You double take. Is my skirt really tucked up into my leggings? Quickly, you pull down the rogue item of clothing and regroup, psuedo-confidence regained.
This happens to me all the time. At least once a week, possibly more. This in mind, this is how I interpret Bridget's quote. Everything seems ok, until something else falls spectacularly to pieces, and this is what I am going to write about.
