It's all a matter of degree, bt. Some of them were bad, but kinda cute.

Ok, then allow me to add some more. Let's see you laugh these off:

"Do you sleep on your stomach? ...Would you mind if I did?"
"Hi, I suffer from amnesia. Do I come here often?"
"Hey, what are you doing next Saturday? I need a date for my wedding."
"What's a girl like you doing in a nice place like this?"
"Do you have any Irish in you? ...Would you like to?"

Not that I would dream of using lines like that. Perfect gentleman, me.

And yet, I laugh. But I'm very, very sleepy, so all sorts of weird things could seem funny right now.

Everything wrong with you I like.

This could be sweet and wonderful, depending on context.

Everything wrong with you I like.

I know, the x factor is shocking after reading that.

Psychokitty is mewing all over the apartment: "pet me, play with me, but do so from a large distance." He hasn't done this for awhile, and it's seriously getting on my nerves, so I'm off to my bedroom where I won't be able to hear him AND I'll be able to do the reading that I really need to get done. But, no computer there, so toodles all!

Billytea, I am so bummed that you live on the opposite side of the world.

Is anyone still around?

kinda but not really...just poking my head in to say:

((((Susan)))). Lots of strength to you. What you said about already starting the grieving process is true, but it will still be tough for a bit. But a little of him lives on in you and your beautiful daughter.

I was heading to bed, Heather, but I can stick around. What's going on?

And we either just had a little (or far away) earthquake or a really quiet truck went by. FTR, before anyone worries, really tiny. Laptop twitched on my lap, candles got a little extra fickery... So I'm up at least until I refresh the CalTech page several times.

Time passes. Douglas Adams collects a royalty payment.

Eh, refreshed it and no tiny red square. Between this and the traffic maps, I am ruled too much by colored blobs on a Web site.

Hello. I found this site due to traffic brought to my site by the below post. Jilli VoiceofReason, I am sorry that you feel this way in regards to my site offerings. What yould you suggest be put into a basket on my site given my target audience? Thanks for any feedback.

I'm still trying to decide if this

Now I've got it in my head that if I don't get the non-profit job (screw the other two, they're not really what I want). I'mma go up to the store and tell the GM that I'll take more hours, but I'm going to art school and I want to be trained on the take in side. That way I can get hands on experience with the big designers while I'm in school and make money. Perhaps I'll take on some of the merchandising in exchange. Then, when I actually start making things I'll wear them to the bar where the people with money can see them, want them, and I'll make stuff for them. Everyone will anticipate my graduation and subsequent boutique opening which will be like an open secret amongst the hipsters until it's featured in Lucky, and I get swamped. From there I will design for a house until I retire from the label, create another boutique label and move to my ideal city.

is a good thing, or if I should stick to the original plan, or what I really want.

ETA: It seems I always post with my directionless- or too many directions- issues at the wrong time.
