"Well... well that's just what we call 'pillow talk,' baby!"

[batskeets]

Earlier this afternoon, the phone rang, and the following conversational snippet took place:

Me: [picks up phone] Hello?
Mother: Sarah?
Me: Hi--
Mother: What kind of condoms do you use?

That's the part where my brain says, "whozajiggaWHAA?"

Apparently, there was a sale on *condoms*, of all things, so she wanted to see if it was a good deal or not. With the intent of buying some for me. ::asldkfhasldkfhalkfhd:: She's always mailing me coupons and sending the occasional care package of something I use that she somehow managed to get for 90% off. But still, an odd question to start off a conversation.

I've been trying to figure out a great mystery, recently: Namely, who or what gave me a gift subscription to YM Magazine?? The gift card didn't say who this mysterious benefactor was, and they have yet to identify themselves, so I'm a bit boggled by this. It's not exactly the sort of magazine I would subscribe to myself, after all. But then again, there aren't many magazines that I'd subscribe to. I kind of liked having Entertainment Weekly, when I had it. ::shrug::

I've been trying to get the guy from Cafe Paradiso on the phone this afternoon, after he called me this morning. I sincerely hope that he got my message, because I kind of expected him to call back today. At least *somebody* got some good news on the job front, though: James will be working at Lunar Logic for the next couple of weeks, maybe even permanently, if all goes well. Whee!

Anyway, after turning in a job application, I treated myself to a bubble tea and a skein of yarn today. The former was red bean flavor, and darn tasty. The latter was that nifty purple Soft Boucle that I found at Ben Franklin a while back, only to realize later that I hadn't bought enough, and they were completely out of stock. They finally had some in the store today! They have a ton of it, too, so those who were admiring it ::coughcraftyranandaleishacough:: might want to check it out. They have other colors in the same yarn type.

Anyhoo, I think I'm going to go and do something active. (wushu? probably) So, I'm off.

EDIT: Yeah, I added to this a little since I originally posted it.

DUDE. I really hope I never ask my kids (or their contemporary friends) for sex advice. EVER. :P

That's very odd... another friend of mine at UO just was remarking on her LJ that she just got a 3 year anonymous gift subscription from YM... I wonder if they just chose from the eugene phonebook or UO directory at random or something...

WTF WTF WTF.

Your mom is insane. X.x

Eh, she was actually asking in the "I can get condoms on sale! Do you want me to get some and ship them to you?" sense. (which is equally bizarre, I'm sure) She's always mailing me coupons and sending the occasional care package of something I use that she somehow managed to get for 90% off.

But, yeah, me too. ::rotfl::

WEIRD. I think mine was only for one year, but it's still pretty darn confusing.

[thedanceman.livejournal.com]

So, did she buy the condoms?

My friend Andrea got a "gift subscription" to YM, too. I have a feeling it's just a gimmick so they can expand their readership and therefore charge more for advertisements.

Nah, I told her not to worry about it. ^^;

::falls over laughing::

that is so something your mom would open a conversation with!

sorry about flaking out on wushu today...i slept til 4 ...after being up all night with allegies. and then i just got back from making posters/ rounds!

[skeets.livejournal.com]

No problem :) I'll probably want to practice again tomorrow or Friday, if you're interested then.

[craftyran.livejournal.com]

omg you HAD to mention that, didn't you! ::curses:: ::cries:: I was so good on the yarn front, too... haven't crocheted in months... cross-stitch is so much cheaper....

Maybe I can resist the call.

Gosh, that's an odd question to be asked by your mother. Mine wouldn't even know if I was sexually active or not. :P But jeez that was funny.

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Well, they did have a holy buttload of the stuff in-stor, so you should have plenty of time to think it over. ^_-
