September’s Theme:
Songs and/or Dreams in 60 words exactly.
Favorite songs, least favorite songs, ear worms, songs you like to sing, songs you wish you could sing, songs that bring up happy or sad memories, songs from your past, songs from your car, songs you never tire of, songs you love to dance to (or would if you had someone to dance with), ethnic songs, songs you’ve written, why we sing.
Day dreams, night dreams, recurring dreams, nightmares, the hypnagogic state, dreams as in ambitions, dreams that came true, the meaning of dreams, your theory about how we can envision things in dreams we’ve never seen while awake, why we dream. Dreaming: We spend a good chunk of our lives doing it.
See the About Page to learn about past and future themes.
Note: If you see an asterisk with no footnote make sure you can see the tags (view only the post). That’s where I put footnotes when my post has reached its word limit.
You need to quit. Now. Three exclamations and a smiley face? The man is a serial killer.

Midway through the day he stopped calling me “Miss Dona” but the exclamation marks and smiley faces continued.

Oh, too bad, I really like your proposed reply… although it might have been more effective if you had ended it with three exclamation points instead of a period (along with the smiley face), just to let him know that you’re also a psychopath and can give as good as you get.

The “miss” if he’s from the south or parts of the midwest is his attempt at being polite. Or he’s gay? Not to feed into stereotypes but I can hear many gay friends use “miss” like that.

I don’t know for sure where he grew up or if he is gay. I worked with him several years ago and don’t recall an accent or got any gay vibes. I think he thought it was cute to call me Miss Dona. He referred to a colleague I mentioned (who told me to say hello) as Miss [her last name] so it might just be a personal quirk.

Definitely a southern thang, and Maryland is the northernmost point of the south…I hear this a lot here in my old hometown, and my bff’s in-their-late-20s daughters still call me Miss Indigo.

Interesting, IB. I have lived in Maryland for 24 years and this is the first time someone other than a child has called me Miss.

Wow, I’d find it condescending. But I’m from a different south.
