Monday Night Class
I don't know if it's what's I'm saying, or the way I speak, but I noticed last night that all my groupmates furrowed their brows when I was talking.
Max has just hypothesized that perhaps I talk too loudly. (Wha???) Which immediately makes me think that I must be going deaf and should get my hearing checked. Maybe it's related to that weird new crackly sound in my left ear. Of course, this is coming from a man who asked me this morning if I thought a roll of quarters could fit up his nose...
I would like to think that it's because they all find me riveting, rather than to think I've turned into THAT GIRL. You know the one.

Why would he hypothesize that you are speaking too loudly?? What would make him think that?
You know, in my confirmation class, there is this girl that I think might be retarded because I get very confused whenever se starts talking. I was at first thinking that I was becoming retarded as I listened to her, but I asked another girl in my class if she, too, had difficulty knowing what the hell the first girl was talking about everytime she opened her mouth. The second girl agreed--she never usually understands first girl either. So wa-la! Are you retarded? Boy, isn't it disturbing that your groupmates might walk out of class saying things like "Um, I don't know about the rest of you, but did you understand what the hell that Sareet girl was talking about?".
OK, ok, I am just teasing you. Just kidding. Not about the retarded-esque girl in my confirmation class, but about you being THAT girl, or retarded. You are probably just stuck with a group of people who ARE retarded, and your superior intellect confuses them, so they just sit there, brows furrowed. You know that is the most likely situation. You are too smart for them, and they don't understand you.
I also don't know if a roll of quarters would fit in someone's nose. Are his nostrils particularly large? Does he have health insurance? I would make sure I had health insurance before I tried that--ER trips are pricey.
Haha. My first comment is so long.
if you have to take him to the hospital with quarters in his nose, please, please, please take photos. Please also take an ambulance. Take pics of the guys that have to pick you up. take pics of the xrays.
Hahha. You two crack me up. Elliot - Melissa is our Melissa from college, just in case you didn't know.
Max had told me very gently that I sound sort of loud on the phone and we figured out it's only when I'm calling from the office and in all liklihood my head set is just turned up too high so that rules that hypothesis out.
More likely, I am probably not retarded, although maybe I am, who knows?
It occurred to me they may be furrowing their brows because most of them are from other countries so maybe they just have to concentrate more when listening to someone speak english.
I think there was supposed to be show (don't know if it ever made it on air) about different things that people have swallowed or inserted in their bodies. I'm guessing quarters would probably be fairly tame!

Is it possible, and follow me on this one, that their brows are permanently furrowed? Some foreign people (and some bizarre americans) have the unibrow action that makes it tough to tell. Maybe they just got all the eyebrows that sareet did not... There are lots of photos that traverse the ambulance world of things they have removed from people's bums. Noses, i'm not so sure about, but i'm sure it's out there...
Interesting thought RE: unibrow, Melissa! Unfortunate if it is true as nearly all my groupmates are women and that is an especially bad look for the female sex.
