It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Ha! DH gave me an iPod for Christmas and now I am the worst offender on my neverending subway commute. I try to keep it below the levels of that kid on the bus in the Coca Cola commercial, but I have caught a couple of people staring at me only to realize that I'm doing a little too much channeling of Mary J. Blige.

And, I need to have this coat just because it is beautiful.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

If there's a plush toy, then there damn well is life on Mars.

I hate all you people that make the noises. Stopitstopitstopit.

How do you feel about talkative PDAs/noisy alerts/other people's music?

Up with the sun

Why is John Rhys Davies hateworthy?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

However, I will agree that people who chew with their mouths open are very distrurbing and should be stopped.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You know what I hate? People who think the subway is a good place to decide on a cell phone ring.

HR just sent me a note informing me that I have a carryover balance of 0 vacation days from 2004-05, and that according to their records, I have already used 0 of them, and that if I don't use up the rest by the end of the month, they will expire. I feel so much more informed.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm upset. Apparently, I'm Meg Ryan. Where's my money?

I used to have a coworker who would jingle the change in his pockets. He did it to such a degree that I wanted to pick him up by the ankles and shake the wee bastard until the mere sight of coin-operated vending machines gave him Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The coat I need.

How talkative is talkative? I don't want to hear entire songs, but something a ring length doesn't bother me.

I read a JRD interview that was very "My old-white-man culture is under attack! Save me!" and it rubbed me the wrong way. His tone on the LotR commentaries also drives me nuts.

My officemate's computer & PDA routinely startle the living crap out of me. Admittedly, I'm jumpy. There is a reason I have the sound off on my computer.

I only threatened his stuff with a drowning when his meeting alert noise was this spooky sounding moo.
