Tired of love uninspired

I suppose I will never understand how people become fixated on other people. Obviously, I am intimately acquainted with fixations on processes (gardening, anyone?), but I have a hard time understanding the kind of fixation that is tied to a person. I can control my actions in the garden, right? To some extent, I can even control the garden itself; but we can't control other people, which is what makes it confusing to me. What if the person you're fixated on does something that bores you?

What is especially confusing to me is why someone or some people would be fixated on me. Seriously... why? Could I be any more boring? I don't think so. Let's look at just how boring I am! Here's my day so far:

Woke up before the alarm and immediately thought, shit! I set the alarm for the wrong time.
Let the dogs out, teeteed, got a bowl of cereal.
Graded two papers, brushed my teeth, took my pills, did my hair, put my make up on, got dressed.
Got out the door in exactly enough time to get to school, which I then did.
Took Lovers to Abrams to Northwest Highway to 75 south to Greenville to Walnut to campus.
Taught Stace in intro, Rachels in ethics (though we got really off topic today!), then walked out of class.
Ran into a former student who reminded me that I need to print something out for him.
Ran into another former student who told me her life is hard right now, which pains me deeply.
Got to my car and called my mom.
Asked her if she wanted to go to PF Chang's for lunch because I needed make up and had a craving for Mongolian beef.
She said yes, she'd pick me up in an hour and a half.
Drove home, though I took a different route: campus to Walnut to Greenville.
Stopped at Sonic to get a Route 44 Dr Pepper with extra ice.
Talked to Shelley on the way home, something I do not normally do (drive and talk on the phone).
Got home and talked to the painters my mother hired to paint our trim.
Realized that I forgot to put the cats up before they came so I went around making sure they were all still inside.
Tam Tam, Harvey, and Dixon were in one bedroom.
Mason was in the bathroom.
Pearl was walking around the house not even about to go near the open doors. She's a princess who does not go outside where there is dirt and other scary things.
Attempted to go to the bathroom and subsequently let Mason out.
Chased Mason around the house, finally catching him and putting him in the bedroom.
Went to the bathroom and put on lipstick.
Made it out the door and got into the car with my mom.
We drove to Northpark (Lovers to Abrams to Northwest Highway), and parked.
Ate lunch at PF Chang's, where I had Mongolian beef with steamed white rice and dragon eye oolong tea. My mom had some sort of noodle dish with shrimp and iced tea.
Walked out of PF Chang's and stopped in to see my SIL at Anthopologie.
Oohed and aahed over some measuring cups.
Walked around the Nasher Sculpture Center store and I got wobbly. Something weird with the lighting. that required some seriously slow walking out of the store. Of all places to get wobbly!
Walked to the Apple store where my mother bought a car charger and bought me a stereo dock for my iphone. Score!
Went to Origins, where my mom bought something and I bought two gumballs.
Went to Bare Essentuals where I bought foundation.
Walked back across the mall, going a different way this time.
Stopped at the restroom to teetee and my mom went into Cebu to get some gelato.
I got some sort of pastry thing.
We continued on to the car.
Mom drove me home, same route, and came in to talk to the painters.
I gave her the hydrangea I had ordered for her and another agave that popped up (they are always doing that) and showed her the compost pile, yet again.
Mom left and I changed into a t-shirt and long john bottoms.
I read some gardening sites while the painters finished up.
The painters left after a brief political chat.
Talked to Jon.
Took a nap.
Harvey woke me up by head butting me, wanting belly rubs.
I made some popcorn and ate some more Sonic ice.
I turned the TV on and half paid attention to the last 1/4 of Crocodile Dundee 2.
Now, I am here, sitting with Pearly next to me, writing this post.

Seriously, I bore myself. Find someone more interesting to fixate on, people! I can even suggest some people if you are at a loss. My friend Scarlett has had an incredibly interesting life and she is anything BUT boring. I can hook you up! (I am now picturing Scarlett cringing)

I am going to eat some more Sonic ice now and watch Countdown. I will probably watch Heroes with Jon, later. I might even finish the book I'm reading (Saving Fish from Drowning, by Amy Tan). Whew, too much excitement for me!
