Did you spell it "c0cksukker"?

Too soon to worry, Gris. Don't tjhink I went through the "OMG" stage with Matt stage when I was dateing him. oddly, ( or not) I am more likey to go yay! when I see him now. Matt makes me want to do my best - or be my best. and that isn't an instant feeling.

Shut it, you.

SO.MEAN.

And this reminds me that I need to check the company HR site, to find out if there are any ... restrictions on costumes worn to work. I need to make sure stage blood is okay.

I am absolutely sure that none of the companies I have ever worked for even addressed costumes worn to work, let alone specifically noting stage blood.

Costume-y xpost from LJ. NSM with the work-safe.

There is no way in hell I could get away with this costume at an embassy party, but I applaud the originator. And the tag list is hysterical. And I don't think it's in fact a woman wearing it.

Maria, so glad the puppy is OK!

Oh, Aimee, I HATE it when something like that happens!

I am FREEZING. But, I think it's supposed to warm up today, so I don't want to turn on the heat. Thank goodness for my cozy jammies and my coffee to get me going this morning.

My little brother thinks I have a serious coffee addiction. I'm like, "Well, duh!"

I am posting from bed where I'm trying to decide if I can/want to go back to bed. I headache and general pain kept me up most of the night, and when I was awake I was having anxiety dreams. I think I kept poor Teacup Guy up most of the night with my tossing and turning. He just left for work.

I was up until 2 AM because I couldn't sleep, for various reasons. And now I'm miserable, but at work, though late today. You don't get sick pay when you're a temp, so. Here I am. Though I finally got some drugs, so maybe they'll kick in.

sj, go back to sleep.

SA, we can be gronkified together.

SA feel better.

I think I might have to force myself to eat something so I can take more pain medication.

Gris, my advice is just to CHILL. You're going to drive yourself nuts by thinking you "should" feel a certain way at a certain pre-determined time in a relationship. And you'll probably drive smart!girl nuts, too.

I know you said your relationships get serious quickly, and you don't even know if you know how or even want to have a non-serious one. I understand that and totally respect it.

That said, CHILL. If you worry that your smitten-ness hasn't happened on schedule, if you worry that this relationship isn't following the same exact pattern as your previous ones -- well, you might be throwing away a chance at something really good.

I'll note this, and then let it go: The Boy was most definitely NOT head over heels for me right off the bat. Or even after a couple of months. And he actually brought that point up to me -- he said "I'm not obsessed with you -- that doesn't seem right." He was expecting it to be Grand Cinematic Love, and was confused that, with me, it was SO not.

And I told him that grand cinematic love is pretty, and nice, but not something that can be sustained. Flash fires burn out pretty damned quickly. Bonfires that get built up from kindling and then bigger logs, etc., will burn for a long, LONG time.

(And those last 2 sentences are possibly the cheesiest things I have EVER typed. But I stand by them.)
