Eavesdropper


I'm unlikely to hurt your feelings by saying "We are all voyeurs." It's part of the human condition. We snoop, we eavesdrop on the next table, we make up stories based upon snippets gleaned at great distance. So what?

I found the list above stuck in a book I picked up at the library, and have spent far too much time attempting to create its context. Judging by the handwriting it was probably written by a young woman in preparation for ....Peppermint ramen? Ninja jewelry? A hot weekend in Japan?

The list's reality is probably so much better than I can make up.

Happy Birthday Mr. Shakespeare.

Carpool rotation day for young mother waiting in car at soccer practice field, decides to play wordgame on cell phone, takes slip of paper from center console, puts library book in lap for hard surface, begins game...

Sounds like a to-do list to me.

One must have clean hair and fresh breath before performing ninja.

Mustn't forget the cell phone either.

Kiss me, my cupcake, or I will dissolve into puddles of tears, tears stung with the fire of peppermint, tears long past the consolation of yet another piece of jewelry, oh in my longing I am as limp as ramen, oh my Keitai my love, come let's shower, shampoo my hair while I tickle you all over with your favorite ninja tub toy.

Perhaps a young anime or manga fan? We are all voyeurs in this blogosphere. Thanks for letting us into another's world. HTJ
