I'll try harder, Perkins.

Kat! I'm so glad you're liking your ring, by the way. It's totally awesome to be acknowledged as right. I'll let my mom know. I might have a job soon. I don't know. I need to hear back. What's new with you?

I miss you guys. It's weird being away from LA.

What's new with you?

Nuthin' much. Quit my school and will work at a different school in Silverlake, since you left the hood.

Did Tivo ever get set up? I'm ready to send Lori if need be to save you.

Yay, new school! I hope it works out for the best. I miss my hood. Have you been watching The Scholar? Because I'm so irritating to anyone in my vicinity when I watch it, as I point out everything about my school. But I do the same thing during that stupid Doritos commercial where the guy climbs into the vending machine and gets stuck.

Tivo got set up! I love Tivo! Unfortunately, Tivo got set up at the expense of the VCR and dvd player. I think we're short a few cables, or something. It was all much too impossible to do. Lori is still very very welcome. Unfortunately, I can't provide tickets anymore, since my mom is no longer with the airline. So, yeah, it ends up as less of a good deal.

I really need to start watching movies on my computer or something, since Netflix has definitely been making tons of money off of me, since I've had the same three discs out for over two months.

So are you not going to go to London in January anymore?

P.S. I'm nodding off, so I might need to read your response in the morning.

Holy shit! Goodnight Moon appears to work.

All hail Flea, who sent me the thing! It has lulled her to sleep, when even The Going to Bed Book (thank you, Dani), has failed.

She is a Sleepaboo.

Yay, Alibelle's Tivo.

Are you ready to be strong?

Are there pictures of Kat's ring that I've missed with all my dastardly post-skipping?

Aw, I'm getting all nostalgic.

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

In my dream, Christian Bale spoke with a French accent, was wearing a terrycloth bathrobe, and was deciding what to lift from the Batman set.

Why couldn't I have had that dream in the middle of the night, rather than right at the edge where the alarm clock could gut it?

Oh, ita. That's just not fair.

Help. Kind neighbor lady with 7 year old too big for baby toys has just brought over approximately every Fisher Price Little People item EVER MADE. My living room is awash (well, MORE awash) in bright plastic. Farm and Circus and Fire Station and Train and... And they TALK.

My SIL moved into your neighborhood? Seriously, after xmas and the boy's bday, he had every FP LP item available on the current market. It was INSANE.

To her credit, after the holidays, she puts most of them away and they go into rotation. Still. But they don't mind talky toys. Both parents are immune. Though my brother says he catches himself humming Wiggles songs in the lab, which earn him funny looks from his coworkers.

I dreamed I had low blood sugar and kept almost passing out and the cafeteria was closed. That was annoying.

Crazy person is back, indicating she just.doesn't.get.it. I'm throwing my hands up and going to ignore her.

hip deep in pie

My mother told me last night that when she asked my nephew what he wanted for his birthday he said, "I have everything. What else can you get me."

He later changed his response to "If you don't get me wrestling stuff, jsut give me the money."
