Cass, so sorry for your friend. May she find peace and happiness at the end of the road.

Portland sounds fabulous. And some of the job listings I looked at looked like they paid better there than what they would here. It's becoming a huge temptation.

sending out th ma~~ Cass.

Today - I finally seem to be feeling the no sleepness. last night I woke up 5 times in my 6 hours of sleep. I think that is asthma. I am cranky. and I had to ask DH if he was trying to drive me crazy. ( he sent an email asking me to help him with something that I no way had enough info to help him with) He didn't do it on purpose - it was ment to be more of a rant/ scream. He is just fustrated because his life is very up in the air. The good news - he'll be staying on the east coast for the beginning of next week, doing work - and possibly not going back to CT before he flys home. Also good. he has seen some of his very good friends( and mine). Bad: his family is at the driving him nuts stage. at about 4 days. which is normal, but he doesn't have me- the buffer - so I am reminding him of how to escape , from here.

Good news - they are giving his mom the good stuff to manage the pain - I am hopeing this will help her get her strenght back

Bad news:( okay more annoying) I got a letter from the unemployment office - say I was over paid. In 2002. I have zero records from that time. and it is enough money that it will make a dent.

I could have gone out tonight with the bayareaist. so glad I didn't . someone else called suggesting dinner - no phone # so I didn't call back.

I am seriously considering hermitude tomorrow.

And I hadn't talked to them much, but saw them a couple years ago at Thanksgiving, when SA was out here, we watched The OC. And I dont' remember seeing them since....and I just got an email that they had a baby! Goodness

Oh, I loved them! I have very fond memories of getting hooked into the crack that is the OC.

So what does "ownd" mean? Owned? You own power, ie, you have power?

Cross-reference the Veronica Mars episode "the Wrath of Con" where the phrase is used in excellent context. The gerneral idea is that it developed among gamers, but it's spread to LJ and I see it all the time there.

So sorry cass.

Beth, I think hermiting is an excellent idea.

I just spent the whole day moving into my brand new single! in James Hall. It's taken seven semesters to get here, and I only have one more, but man it is nice to be in my own space. It looks great too. Of course, this day also had snow, which was particularly great for a moving day; very slick ground. And my roommate, in the few hours I was gone, took all my remaining stuff and basically put it on the porch for me--how completely fucking rude, as I wasn't even checked out yet. Guess she couldn't wait for me to leave. And I'm kind of feeling unliked by many people right now, which is uncomfortable. But still, it will be nice to come back here at the end of the day and doing some hermiting of my own.

So sorry, Cass.

CJ's haircut is adorable.

SA, your former roommate is a rude cow. Get some friends to help you do some cow tipping.

And I'll join in with hermiting. I've got to buckle down and finish my Bitch blanket, soonest. Time to put in the DVDs and get with the crocheting some more.

Big what-ev to the roommate. But a single! Yay! She can be as pissy and immature and you want and you can just laugh and laugh.

did you see tommyrot's link to photos of Teddy Girls in England in the 50s?

NO!!! Link?? Was this in Natter?

SA! Hi! And boo roommie.

I'ma little sleepy and a lot tipsy right now. but I had a good evening.

I'ma little sleepy and a lot tipsy, but I have not had a good evening.

But, whatever. At least the person who threw my evening out of whack is prone enough to doing that shit that I wasn't counting on it working out or anything, right?

Yeah, that's all I got. Though I do wish I had more wine.

wine makes everything just a little easier.

think I will be taking my little baby dvd plyer to bed and watch more alias.

ps - love cj's haircut.
