I just got an email from a friend who about a month ago, had been very excited to announce that she was pregnant. She had a miscarriage on Christmas Day. Vibes for her and her husband are very much appreciated. Also, I feel horrible because the first thing I thought when she announced it so early (about 3 -4 weeks into the pregnancy) was "Why announce so early? What if something happens?"

I'm going to a conference next week, so I'll probably not be here for at least ten days or so. I'll sit in lectures I don't really understand (and in some I'll have to pretend that I do), and I'll probably think on occasion 'hm, I wonder how they are doing', but I won't be able to type it. I'll sure miss you guys.
Anyway, I'm posting here in order to let you know that, according to the Buffista Calendar, tomorrow (January 3rd) is shrift's birthday, and January 7th is Miracleman's birthday. Happy early wishes to the both of them!

I may have to seize the cat.
I got a job, whee! I'll be working as an AfterSchool Assistant 8 hours a week. It's a tiny job, but it's just enough to give me the cushion I need beyond my scholarship money.

I'm back at school safely. Moving's a bitch.

And we will call it... "This Land."
My boss announced today that she has sold the company to another printing company. Tomorrow's our last day.
The purchasers are taking some of the staff to handle the expected increase of work they'll get by inheriting our customers, but not many. They don't have a design department, they don't offer that service.
Upshot is, they're interested in adding design services to their menu. Could I work part-time?
Second upshot is, I was thinking about going part-time anyhow.
We'll see how the money works out... I don't believe in coincidences and I don't believe in luck, but good vibes appreciated.

Halt the discussion while I'm in the caribbean for nine days. I know, there are new shows, but really, it'll be hard to catch up. Thanks.
Haha, like you'd really stop...

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
A few of my poems won a (unspecified) runner-up prize in the Philadelphia Citypaper's 2002 Writing awards.

It's with regret that I say I'm going to try and go dark for a while.
It's not that I'm addicted to this place, it's just that I'm spending so much time here it's affecting my work -- Oh. Ah. Maybe I am addicted.
It's not normally a compliment to say "you guys are more fun than work" but I really enjoy my work most of the time.
Seriously though, I'm going to try and just come here evenings and weekends for a while, not be logged on all the time, especially now that the new year has started up properly. I want the board to be less of a guilty pleasure and more of a treat I've earned.
