In which the narcissist......

returns to the restaurant bathroom with her camera



realizes the green tiles have been missed



catches the funky pseudo-tiled toilet seat



sees her grumpy face and makes a fake smile for posterity

and
posts
it
on
her
blog.





also in this series: The narcissist and her big fat ego ponder where the Goddess of listening to others without interrupting them went to. Was the prayer for help too desperate? Will they shut up long enough to hear the answer?




UPDATE:
Dear Goddess, please forgive our narcissist, our dear blogger has finally realized your generous gift was in her bag all along. A lucky thing you caught her attention after 4 tries in the bookstore. It has changed her life forever. Even the ego is in awe and humbled.

I had posted something and it said, funnily, "duplicate error". Er, I was saying, it's you! yay!

and that i had to say that you really look like a combined version of two of my sisters (one lives in Canada, by the way). Or that maybe that is just the result of the brotherly love/admiration I feel for you.

so that makes me sister #3? #4? how many do you have already?

hello lovely goddess of the north... i hate it when the goddess of listening to others without interrupting decides to run for the hills!

I have three (blood) sisters. So that would make you number four...

I love those pictures, green tiles and gilt frame, and the face in the frame.

couldn't resist the book and the funky toilet seat was fantastic?

Horacio said...

oh! so that's you... where has the godess of looking at pictures and reading text simultaneously (or almost) has gone?

how's the book? we like rumi a lot, so let us know about Hafiz's poems?

That is a great toilet seat, especially because, even though someone put some thought into what they were doing, it only sort of fits with the surroundings. I love nice bathrooms!

Finding it hard to get through to narcissist over here, too. Never shuts up...

Lolabola said...

h - that's very funny. I had to read it three times to figure out what happened there. I like the book a lot. I find myself laughing and smiling every time I reada poem.

y - I didn't even notice that it doesn't really fit. Maybe there was more blue in there and I missed it in the quest to self-photograph?

and here I thought the self-less photographer was championing those beautiful unsung green tiles...

(clearly have to work on my skills of interpretation)

great post.

Lolabola said...

well Ms. Hoo, you know that was the original intent but somehow it was overridden. how does that happen?

love the green tiles, but even better - the picture of YOU! So lovely!
