She is doing it again. Yes, of course. Talk as much as you want. I wonder if you even hear yourself? How ungrateful you sound always! I wish I was disrespectful enough to tell you that you are rude and you need to calm down and let other people talk when it's their turn. Or at least learn from me when to shut up and when to talk. I feel like in high school all over again. Why do I listen to her? Is it me that keeps attracting the attention of jabbering folks? I hope not. Yes! Keep talking. Get all that air out of you while you can.

-I was supposed to be assigned to the billing department and you know what they told me? Despite all the responsibilities that I had throughout the year and being always on time with my deadlines, that vile, no good assistant of his forgot to informed him of my request for advancement in the department that I wanted. This year seems to be no better then the one that past. But enough about my pathetic attempt to climb the ladder of success in that firm. Tell me about your winter holidays. Did you had fun?

-I did had a really nice time with my family. We were ice skating in the local square and..

-Oh! I forgot to tell you about what happened to me 3 years ago in Vancouver when I visited my sister, Anne. I was having a kind of dry falafel pita on the street when suddenly I bumped into Carl and he was going with some friends for ice skating at the Hillcrest Rink and he invited me to join. I must have been insane. You know how difficult it is for me to stay balanced on my legs even on dry concrete but he looked so fresh and gorgeous that I said yes. I was ready to say yes for anything if only he would open his eyes and accept that I was the one who would love him like he deserves. But anyway. I got into his car and I wanted to stay in front with him but a girl that she thought she was prettier then the sun went flying right before me and snitched the front sit like her name was on all of the car. I got disappointed at first but seeing that Carl wasn't that interested in her to long and blond hair, her not so ruby and luscious lips and her skinny legs in that to short skirt I decided to not take myself out of the possibility that we could make beautiful babies with his looks and my ability to appreciate quality handsomeness.

-Wait Hannah 'cause I need to go to the restroom and...

-No! You wait. It will only take a few more minutes. Plus I think they have only one stall in there and their are already people queuing. Anyway..Where was I? Oh yes. Carl with me and the babies. Hehe.. We could be so happy together but that silly tramp was playing the same game as me only she had the advantage of staying in the sit where I was supposed to because Carl is my love and he will awaken from that sleep walking of his and realize that I am meant for him and no other can take my place. Gosh..that hair and that pointy chin of his made me blush like I was 16 years old again. When we would arrived on the ice skate ring I was ready to release all my feminine moves and conquer him right under that washed up blonde nose and show her that he is my man! My Carl!

Hannah! I am going to stay in line because people keep appearing on the queue to the bath..

-Yes! Yes! I'm almost done! And you know what she did in the car? She started to run her fingers through his hair and complement how smooth it felt! Why are girls always show interest in my men, I can't understand!? Do I look not menacing at all? Don't I seem like I can break their skulls and let birds nest in there? Tell me, Robbie. Don't I bring fear into you right now when I look straight into your soul?

-Well..I guess..

-I know! I have the ability to make people cry and cave. I don't know but it's something about me that makes people give into whatever I want. I could say that it's a innate gift that I use when others try to take what is rightfully mine. But the shameful lil' floozy seemed that she was immune to my menacing eyes and I had to find another plan. I wasn't worried. I knew that my brain will come up with a divide and conquer plan to separate them and keep to myself the Carl prize. I got such a great mind that I had even a back up plan in case one didn't work out. First was to ask him if he could stay close by and keep an eye on me in case I might fall and I couldn't get up so he can save me and the second was to fake an injury that would rouse in him the chivalrous character that I know he had and rescue a damsel in distress. Tell me that it didn't sound like a romantic plan!?

-I think I'm going to the..

-Noooo...The best part comes now. Don't go yet. Save it for later. Come on. You're a big boy. You can handle it for a few more minutes. Think dry thoughts. Anyway, as I was saying, my exquisite plan was ready to be put in action when we were at the ice ring. The plot was so charming that I got into thinking that I was feeling like in the fairytale of Cinderella when she is about to leave right before the clock hits 12 but instead I will get the chance to have it all. I will get the sleepers, which in this case it will be my shiny ice skates, and I will keep Prince Charming only for me. Maybe flip the finger to that stealer of men while Carl wasn't looking. When we got to the rental skate shop I had the misfortune of renting some skates that were a bit small but I couldn't realise that until I was on the ice so I had to go back and change them. My plan was suspended for some time but I was more and more pleased with my ideas and I was more then ready to become, in no time, missus Carl Thompson. I got to change my shoes and when I had back to the group I was witnessing right in front of me my whole injury plan only it wasn't with me in the role of the damsel. It was that blonde stealing tramp that got somehow in my head and stole my very well thought plan and they both swooped into the car, him carrying her in his strong arms, and they went to the hospital to cure her stupid ankle. Why do good things happen to disgraceful people and for me, that I was ready to raise his children and massage his feet every night, I was left in the Ice skate like a sad, undeserving princess!? So, yeah! That is my unjust story of the pain that I got to experience on a cold ice skate ring. By the way, thank you for reminding me of that. Now I'm depressed and I'm going to leave and buy something that will ease my mind and not think of how evil are some people. Thank you for the memory and for your company. Have a great freaking day!

I can't believe she left and I was unable to go to the toilet! Does she know how sad she sounds and that she is constantly speaking until she bores her audience? I doesn't seems so. Now let's get back to normal life.

Check please?
