I'm Thinkin' About...

Waffles.

This is crazy. I can't stop thinking about waffles. I bought some Pillsbury waffles earlier today and I plan to have them for breakfast tomorrow should I wake up on time but right now, I'm breaking my back trying to finish my research paper proposal and all I can think about are waffles. In. My. Mouth.

Woke up in time for waffles!!

"I'm on my way!!"

That is perhaps the one line I hate to hear people say. I mean, how often have you had someone say "I'm on my way!" and you end up waiting an eon for them to arrive?? What constitutes as "being on the way" anyway? Does it mean...

1. I'm 5 minutes from where you are?
2. I just left the place I'm at to come to yours?
3. I'm about to leave/or in the process of leaving the place I'm at to get to yours?
4. I'm stuck in traffic while on the way to yours but I forget to mention that I'm in traffic?
5. I'm halfway there?

It would be so much easier--and lessen waiting time a great deal if people would just give their ETA or at least more specifics than letting people wait endlessly! 

What prompted this post you ask? Well, I was having dinner with the family earlier tonight and was supposed to wait for my sister to join us. However, when we were at the end of the meal, she had yet to arrive! So after a quick call, she announced that she was on her way.

Another quick call. "I'm on my way!!!" she screams.

"But where are you?!?!" we screamed back.

"Still at the gym--but leaving now!!"

The gym is at least 25 minutes away from where we were.

I must have been high on something tonight.

Here's why; normally when I want something from the 'rents (I'm trying really hard not to sound like a spoiled brat here *lol*) and when it's something expensive, what I would normally do is talk about that thing endlessly for a couple of months prior to its launch or whenever I want to have it. I'll bring up all its good qualities, not so much of its bad but make it sound like it's good anyway--the works. Sometimes this strategy works, sometimes it doesn't.

But, like I said, I must've been high on something tonight. Or maybe I just wanted it so desperately. What I did was...I went up to dear mother who was at the time washing dishes (partial distraction is a good thing) and said...

..."ma, I don't want a new cell phone. I don't even want a new Mac. I'd really rather you just use that money and buy me a ticket to Venice. It costs about the same too. I want this more--and it'll bring a much higher satisfaction value to me than a new phone! I want to leave tonight or real early tomorrow morning and come back on Sunday."

I think my ma has never laughed so hard in her life. 

I was being serious! >_<

I think my mum thought I was high on something too.

Et tu, Philip?
