Girl, Interrupted.

Have you noticed how some people have this annoying habit of interrupting others in middle of a conversation? It has happened so many times with me, I have lost the count. But my husband has a very positive outlook towards it. According to him, we are in an age group/social group where most people are individualistic with strong points of view towards everything. To put them in a room and not to expect clashes would be pretty dumb. And in heat of the moment, one ends up cutting another mid sentence.
Agreed. But what if the interruption comes in the form of something that has no relation to the topic of discussion? The other day, hubby was seriously telling this lady friend of mine about his mother's health problems. This friend interrupts him with something as lame as " How many of you would like to have tea?" I mean, really??! I have no idea when was the last time I was so pissed!
But then it makes me wonder, how many times have I done the same thing to others? I do not have any conscious remembrance of such occurrence. But if I have done it to any of you out there, I sincerely apologize. And I solemnly swear, I would try not to cut anyone off, at least not deliberately, and provided you do not wrong me in anyway :D:D.

Things about me...

I took a leaf out of Anju's blog and am going to attempt saying some things about myself. Please dont hold your breath as I am not going to divulge anything too personal, at least not consciously, I will not :).
1) I am an insomniac, but I have learnt to live with it and enjoy it up to some extent.
2) I love to play dress up!
3) Am a sucker for accessories that I am not "supposed" to be wearing.
4) I hate people who love to give advises at the drop of a hat, but get deeply offended when someone else does the same to them!
5) Yep I am sensitive, but am definitely not moody.
6) I love to wear heels, but cant afford to wear anything longer than 3 inches:(.
7) I am a bookaholic, but give me a technical book, I will doze off in a minute.
8) I space out, and the spacing out gene has been passed from generation to generation on my mother's side.
9) I hate the fact that I listen and follow Srini's advises so often, but end up following the next time too, albeit grudgingly :).
9A) I love the fact that he heeds to my advises too though :)
10) My coffee addiction is on the rise.
11) I feel nauseous when I see coated tongues, food between the teeth, and dirty nails!
12) I hate (read fear) spiders and bed bugs with a passion.
13) Cockroaches come a close second.
14) I love love love animals.
15) I am nut crazy about dogs. yep, even the stray ones!
16) I firmly believe that men overestimate and women underestimate themselves.
17) I love chivalry :).
18) I don't like it when men treat a woman as another guy!
19) I am ridiculously competitive, but fortunately, that exists only through the course of the event. I believe I am a good winner, but an excellent loser :):).
20) I sometimes feel I speak too much, and that I should just shut up!
