I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

They get paid by the companies,

Yay! 'Cause I have, basically, negative bucks at the moment.

so they were desperate to shoehorn me into a job that was all wrong for me, and it was verbal judo to stay out of it and keep them looking.

Not so yay. Oh, well. If I say "no" to something and the recruiter never speaks to me again it'll leave me pretty much where I am now. And it's not like I'm gonna stop looking on my own.

I have a problem with grapefruit and oranges where I can never get quite enough of the membrane off. I was told that it comes right off if you boil the orane, but then, you have a boiled orange, which sounds less appetizing to me. i guess I should stick to apples and pears.

You should try tangerines and tangelos - they peel more readily and have less membrane.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I used to eat grapefruit by slicing it in half and using a grapefruit spoon. No membrane that way.

I can't even.

People should talk about their weekends

On Saturday, I was a combatant in Ealdormere's 16th Crown Tournament. I had fun fighting. I have a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my right bicep. No pictures yet. On Sunday, I helped a friend set up a new tv/dvd/vcr (but can't make my own work the way I want them too) and had dinner. I also threw out/bundled for Goodwill (depending on suitability) about 3 big rubbermaid tubs worth of clothes I had in storage, and found my edition of Beowulf in the Old English (Klaeber, 3rd edition) that I thought was lost.

Today is much with the gronkly.

Love grapefruit. And for somebody who likes sweets as much as I do, also love sour things. I like to put salt on grapefruit. My weekend: Nothing much. Finished a book on amnesia, wrote...Watched "Lorenzo's Oil" again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Okay, I know it's a callback to discussion a whole handful of posts earlier. But these two, at the top of a page of posts?

I have a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my right bicep.

Love grapefruit.

One of the kinkier x-posts ever.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Did it make you all sniffly?

I totally cried. And then called my mom.

And John Sweden brings the convo full circle.

On Friday, went out with a friend who'd had a death in the family. She just needed her friends around her. Wasn't melancholy, just supportive.

Saturday, went to my 23 year old friend's house party. Quite reminiscent of college parties. It was his first big party and he was very excited. It was so cute. I even was the only one sober at 3AM when there was need for an emergency beer run :)
