Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those things are all crank-worthy, Plei.

Here's a question: If I tell a haircutter I want something less severe than the bob I currently have, but not much shorter, will that be enough for them to work with? I don't really know what I want, and can never tell what the actual cut looks like on haircut sites because they're so styled.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay, Mister Kitty!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This would have been posted in my LJ, if LJ wasn't broken.

Imagine a pretty picture of Bettie Page next to the entry.

Last night i got a call from Maya. Only 60 attendees for DLA. Those 60 are gonna have a rockin' time since JJ and most of the cast will be in attendance. I offered a bit more of a hand to get more bodies there, since I don't want the charity to suffer. That would make me sad. I just cant do all I could do, since I have to write and not go insane.

But on to my day!

First thing this morning I got a reply back from Sarah Bunting of Tomato Nation fame (Roomba!) agreed to take a look at a few essays and blurb for me. I suppose unless I suck HARDCORE. In which case, I'll forgive her if she says, "Sorry Allyson, I didn't think it was gonna suck THIS hard. I mean, I can't even give you a pity blurb. Have you considered a job in public works?"

Then I went to a meeting at lunch with a friend from work, and was subtely asked to consider joining the board of directors for a charity that helps poor kids get into the arts, staging plays, painting, all sorts of cool stuff.

Got back to work, and was asked if I'd like to be the Conference Secretary for a huge physics conference in Virginia with a bunch o' nobel prize winners and NASA scientists. It's for four days in a pretty hotel.

I can't do either of those things, because I have to write. Both are pretty big deals, the first because, hello, being on the board of a charity is a prestigious thing. The second because secretaries almost never get travel opportunities. Let alone to run the desk at a high profile international conference.

Weirdly, I still feel like a lazy, incompetent, talentless slob. Weird how the brain doesn't give a crap about reality, isn't it?

Holy crap, Allyson. That's quite a day! Why couldn't you join the board in six months or something? Also, WHAT ABOUT THE COFFEE BOYFRIEND??

OMG cutehead nephew, Kristen!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Allyson, tell JJ I thought his movie rocked!

I can't even get to status.livejournal.com. It can bite me.

Jilli, how did your clothing sale go?

Very, very well. I don't really have anything left over, and now have more money to buy dresses that fit me properly.

Plei, do you want me to have a Sudden Emergency wink wink that will require your presence on the 13th? Just let me know.

Yeah! What Jesse said!
