pardon my insanity
I had lunch with a friend today and he paid for part of my meal saying that he has had a lot of people help him out and buy his meals when he was in need. Mind you I'm crazy on painkillers right now because the jaw pain flared up this afternoont, so if I sound crazy or am not thinking clearly please let me know. I was almost sort of insulted that he thought I was too poor to pay for my own meal. Do I look poor? Do I act poor? I don't get it. I wasn't wearing my gutter punk hoodie, but I wasn't wearing new trendy clothes either. I like shopping at GAP, but I generally shop at thrift stores because I have a hard time justifying the price tags on new clothes. That and it is so much more environmentally friendly to reuse clothes rather than manufacture brand new ones all the time. And new clothes are ugly. Seriously now, do I look poor? Or act poor? I can't imagine what I might have said to make this guy think I was poor. He knows I work in the adult industry, and most people assume that I make tons of money there. The guy's a school teacher, so he can't be making all that much more than I am.

*edited to add* as the drugs wear off I realize I did some seriously crazy things when attempting to cut and pin cloth napkins under the influence of vicodin. As in they're all different sizes and not all square.
