It's just emotion that's taking me over....

MiniMc is doing bizarre things to me. I didn’t cry during my ultrasound, but I virtually sobbed with happiness when Uchenna and Joyce won the Amazing Race.

I find myself thinking random thoughts, such as “I couldn’t possibly send my kids to Northcote High – their uniforms are purple and yellow”.

And I’m a hell of a lot less tolerant (read: infuriated) about things I’d usually be only slightly annoyed at. Things like people who sit next to you on the tram who insist on pointedly reading over your shoulder whatever magazine you happen to have open. The ones who think it’s quite OK to invade your personal space and are not even surreptitious about it. Once, this guy was doing it and everytime I turned the page, he would s.i.g.h d.e.e.p.l.y with an injured air. Honestly, get your own f&#@kin magazine, moron. Get one so dear pregnant Kinki does not have to clobber the f&#@k out of you. Oh dear, really must stop saying f%^&k.

It stops me from enjoying the read and I always rush through so they can’t get their hooks into a particular page. I am particularly enamoured with the obvious deep sighing readers, whose enjoyment I am snatching from them by flicking hurriedly through, who, once you’ve “finished” the mag, ask if they can read it.

F@$&U*@(&T@R#$@$x%x(_%k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better.

1. tram? tram?? in our family, we are forbidden to read the newspaper over each other’s shoulders. when i’m particularly bored, though, i do read the sports page while someone reads the front page.

2. I used to read Japanese magazines/books on the commute to uni/work – you’d be amazed how many people turn their heads to try to read the characters even tho they have nfi. One pushy woman exclaimed loudly to me on a silent carriage “can you actually READ that?!”... some commuters are unbelievable!

4. Perhaps you could take magazines about baby clothes with you on the tram. That’ll put a stop to it.
   
   I was wondering if you could repeat that post in Japanese. The swearing would be most interesting.

5. Hammy – I’ve tried that, but you’d be amazed how many people like to look at naked pregnant ladies…
