Sometimes it really feels as if there are certain things in the world that a soul must abide by because even if you take the slightest step out of the natural order of the universe, chaos will ensue. (Am not really sure what that means, though sounded very impressive when was heard over the radio).

Went to the eye doctor early today, as was very overdue for a checkup. In fact, checkup was due almost 5 months ago, but somehow, with all that is happening in my life, I suppose one should be forgiven for these matters. After all, how can one prioritise between one's eyes wellbeing and the prospect of a Krispy Kreme doughnut at work ?? (was a waste of time really, as the one time there were KKs at work, felt self ballooning up inside like a whale and therefore graciously allowed others to eat it all up!).

So at this eye doctor's place, lots of things happened with many metal instruments and different coloured lights.

And then my doctor asked me if I would like to get married....

It was at this point that I looked outside just to check if there were pink pigs flying around eating cotton candy made of beef.

And then realised that he meant married to someone's daughter that he knows, and not himself (that would be improper as EVERYONE knows that doctors are not supposed to get involved with their patients !!). But this was after asking my age (a very young 22) and how was my job (only 16 months so far) and my availability (I told him I was focusing on my career..).

And then after a very polite but curt (that will show him !!) goodbye and thank you, walked out of the shop shoulders back, head held high in a show of indignance..

And sagged as soon as I was out of sight.

Have realised that am unmarried (duh), unprofessional (freaking bloody CFA), technically unemployed (paid but not going to work...), un-rich (had to pay for new lenses), and unfed (only had cornflakes for breakfast so far).

Therefore giving me the right to be looked upon as love pariah which can be freely traded around until someone wants me to marry them. Walking home...was very depressed I could tell you, especially when faced with a giant KFC sign that only served to remind me that Wicked Wings have increased in price. Felt like everything in the world was going wrong, in manner of pink jellyfish floating in the skies while jungle people roamed the city on elephants (shudder). Could also almost imagine everyone else in the shops were starting to gather around behind me and break out in song as soon as I was out of sight in manner of hideous musical, where I had to be married off but no one would have me.

Have managed to get home to mope in the shower...........
