On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Gotcha - I edited. In your original post, you said that ano=no (not yes), so that's why I was confused.

Fingers, meet brain. Fingers, obey brain. And yes, I expect you to read it even when it gives you bad signals. Figure out what it really meant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

no (abbrv.)- yeah.

That is super confusing for an English speaker!

Good lord why am I not writing my paper.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Have I mentioned lately how much I adore Laura?

no (abbrv.)- yeah.

I think I'd have gone a little bonkers at first.

Jesse, like I said. I blame no for a lot of things. Best one was getting completely trashed over the alps after I'd had my language center reset by a week in spain. They kept bringing me bottles of wine even as I said no! It was a czech crew. Alps are pretty from an airplane when trashed. Riding a city bus standing up with a 30 lb hiking pack on your back while trashed? Not so much.

I didn't know Lori Petty had her own clothing line. I can make my OWN clothes with a sharpie.

Luckily, the head motions are the same as in english. There's somewhere (Romania? Bulgaria?) where one is side to side and the other is either a yes or no shake. I didn't go there, thankfully. I think waggling my head sideways and uttering "NO" when I meant yes (if that is the case) would have made my waggling head go boom.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

First, Happy Birthdays Matt and Cash!

Second, ln, ask me sometime about FEMA and their lame ass transitional housing. And while you're at it, ask me about the assholes who can't see that the new bankruptcy rules are about to kill these people, and the companies that offer them high interest or otherwise predatory loans are going to help. A whole millenery full of asshats, the lot of them.

Third, I generally don't cry in public, or cry for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. When I was younger, and therefore smaller and stupider than I am now, I had a boyfriend who decided to get married (to someone else) without telling me, and instead, expected my best friend, his sister, to do his dirty work. at school. I was pretty upset, mom came to get me from school, gave me 15 minutes to cry it out, and then I was to be over it. Thus, I do not cry in public and with very few exceptions, not for very long. When the little brother died, I was hysterical, but still, once that 15 minute limit hit, I felt the need to pull myself together.

Fourth, I still love my job, but damn I miss you guys. Maybe when year end stuff is done I'll find some time to goof off.
