If there are any good health vibes to spare, I'd appreciate folks sending them toward my dad. He felt a snap when putting weight on his (paralyzed) foot yesterday, and we're taking him in today to see if he's broken a bone or suffered some less serious injury. Crossing my fingers that it's just something pushed out of joint that won't result in more long-term pain and difficulty moving for him.

Good news! This thread could sure use some. My boyfriend and I are moving in together! Eeeeeee! We're both very happy and excited, and we are disgustingly sappy and in love. Let's hear everyone say it: "Awwwwwwwwww!" We're hoping to shack up at the beginning of March if we can find a suitable place. I'm all smiles.

Oh, and some worry making news- I had to have a biopsy on some suspicious looking spots found on my cervix. Gulp. Keep your fingers crossed that its no big. I'm trying not to worry. Much.

Oops. Wrong thread.

Wow. I forgot what it was like to get good news.

Dear Kim and David:

I'm very pleased to inform you that our Editorial Board has approved my offering you a contract for the SCRAM GUIDE. You'll also be pleased to hear that no one liked THE GREATEST RECORDS YOU NEVER HEARD title, so we're back to the drawing board. We're going to discuss some further titles here, but if you have any favorites of the many that have been suggested, let me know.

Ok, so MM has a possible production thing*** in the works. It's all dependent upon a guy. PLEASE PLEASE send jobma and good vobes. This could be IT. Candles, paryers, vibes - anything postive appreciated.

***More details later, still afraid telling details will jinx it.

Numfar! Do the dance of BENIGN PUPPY TUMORS!!!!!!

I'll be offline Thursday to Sunday (little gaming convention at Hunt Valley MD).

Try not to go into withdrawal everyone.

I got "The Call"

The theater where I train has a touring company, auditions for which are by invitation. Last week when the calls went out I didn't receive one and I was really ok with it-- I haven't been able to attend student jams for the better part of a year, I'm decidedly rusty.

Well, I guess a spot opened up 'cause now I'm on the list.

Most people audition two or three times before they make the comany-- this is a just about impossibly long shot. The thrill is that I get a shot.

This is a banner day-- no puppy cancer and a bit of validation for my artistic lifechoice.

In celebration of me not getting the cool apartment, which means I don't have to save my $ for a deposit, I am throwing a party and spending the extra cash on beer and burgers. LAistas and tourists invited. LAistas will get a proper invite on the list. Tourists should contact me directly for love and particulars.

My father's surgery went well this morning. He should be able to come home tomorrow.
