"Birthday cakes are a lot like the Wicked Witch of the West--scary with fire, but tend to melt when doused with water." Yuck. That's no good. Great. Now I missed the trash can. Well, story of my life. Just a bunch of misses, including myself--Miss Lucille Eleanor Cavanaugh. Hmm. But I'm happy, for the most part. There's just that one thing missing--romance. But I could never have the kind of romance I really want--the kind you find in movies. Like this card I wrote today. Won't the guy who gets this card be lucky? At least he'll know he's loved. (Sigh) If only I could be swept away by some--
"Lucy, hey Lucy, wake up there. Look sharp, the boss is coming."
Oh great, that's all I need. Mr. Thompson catching me with my head in the clouds. "Thanks, Natalie." Whew. That was close. I don't need to be in any more trouble. Thompson already thinks I'm too romantic for my own good. But then, aren't we all? Well, I guess not. At least my last boyfriend wasn't. But then he doesn't count because we're still not sure he was human. Hmmph. At least that's what Mary Lou would say. You know I have been living with her for over a year now, and she still amazes me with her ability to speak her mind freely. I could never do that. For one thing I'm too afraid, and for another, I'd probably end up not making any sense the way my mind works. Jeepers, it's time to go home. (Entering the elevator) What a day. (Listens to the music on the elevator) "Is that Neil Diamond I hear? I hate Neil Diamond!"
"Oh, me too."
Oh, swell, it's raining. Well, what did I expect from living in Seattle? I think I'll go to the Paramount Theatre tonight. They're showing a silent movie. Wonder if Mary Lou will want to go? Nah, probably not. She's not as crazy about movies as I am. Nobody is as crazy about movies as I am. That's okay. Someday I'll find someone who--(crash)
"Hey, watch it!" Who's this? Haven't seen him around here before. Figures that I would have to run into him, literally.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Are you hurt?"
"N-no. Well, nothing except my pride, I guess. I wasn't looking where I was going, and well, it is raining, and I was thinking about a million things and--." Shut up!!! You sound like an idiot. Look at the blank look on his face. He's probably wondering when you're going to take a breath so he can be on his way. Say, he looks like someone I went to school with. (sigh) Snap out of it. You've got to get home if you're going to make that movie. "Well, I-I'd better be g-going. Sorry I bumped into you."
