Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lisah--I think you will rock those boots.

I'm sorry, ita.

Yay, new boots, lisah!

I wasn't trying to disprove the existence of ghosts, I was just noting that the one theory would explain a lot of instances. But I also know a lot of people, like you, who have some pretty uncanny stories. (Supposedly the house my mom grew up in was haunted and she saw the ghost several times.)

Oh, I got that. I just meant that I felt that that theory wasn't complete enough to fully describe the phenomenon, for me. As far as I'm concerned, it's a weirder world than science can completely explain. At least, as of yet. Or, I suppose someone should ask why ghosts resonate in that frequency, to get a nice debate going.

My head still hurts. I really need to motivate myself to go out in the rain and buy some Excedrin. And I also need to do the dishes. And eat something other than hash browns, orange juice, and a Reese's cup. I just could not motivate myself to make any eggs. Happily, it is now well passed lunch time, and beginning to edge on towards early dinner.

Okay, I am back, and people STILL are not posting. How is it that there will be five million posts when I can't read them at work, and on a rainy Saturday when I have no cash for a new book, and less motivation to do much of anything, there are about seven posts?

In other news, I went to the grocery store. I have now had a snack of chocolate milk and Excedrin, AIFG. Also, everything I bought was very on sale, so I got the 100 count Excedrin, 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk, 2 big Bounty rolls of paper towels for when I do eventually get to the business of cleaning my house, a new toothbrush, and tax, for $20.50. It's like The Price is Right, only better.

I am now vaguely reading the internet, and trying to learn how to flirt. One day, I mean to acquire a boyfriend. Although, I must be doing something all right, since I merely said, "Excuse me," to some guy completely blocking the aisle, and he looked me over from head to foot (mind you, I was wearing yesterday's outfit and had just run through the parking lot in the rain), and said, "That is really quite all right," with a giant smile showing all his teeth. So weird.

Who wants to come over and make me lunch so that I can just lay on my bed like a lump for the rest of the day?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd come over, but for small and nearly irrelevant details like being on the far side of the country, and so damn tired from my own schooly day that I can barely move. Otherwise, I'd be there already.

We are hiding from you.

Sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I just found out that next weekend is teacher discount weekend at Borders. 25% off all purchases, school and personal. Whoo!

I also purchased Season 2 of Slings & Arrows and got a book of Poe for a kid in my class.

Worked out for the 4th time this week, keeping me on track.

One disc left in Series 5 of Homicide.

Kitty-to-be-renamed [link] has decided that outside is cool to watch, and I am not scary. Indeed, I am worthy of seeking out for being petted.

Alibelle, if you find helpful help anywhere, let the rest of us know. Go you with your awesome self, though.

ita, I'm so sad to hear that you're having another craptastic hospitalized weekend. You have had way more than your share.

It's probably because you're very pretty. Also, flirting is a fun thing to do. I recommend it.

Me, I was invited to two parties, today. One I forgot about until it was too late, and one I don't feel like going to (because it's going to be like a big frat party). Doh.

Thanks, Theodosia! The thought is appreciated.

Would someone please tell Lee that I'm not speaking to her? Thanks.

Actually, I've found that I usually get that reaction whenever I do exactly what I did today--put zero effort into my appearance (this includes not brushing my hair, just pulling it back) and wear blue. I usually get some sort of comment and/or free stuff. It makes my friend Karen laugh like crazy every time. Especially since it's not something I do on purpose, I just happen to own a lot of blue. And a lot of laziness. The problem with this is, I am never ever interested in the people who respond to this kind of "allure." They are generally off-putting kinds of people, however nice free soda is, you know? I also attract crazy people, and people who want me to be their mom/life coach. Not attractive. Random searching of the internet has taught me that Miss Alli from TWOP did co-write a dating book, however, and that's kind of awesome.

ETA: Aw, thanks, meara!

Will someone please tell Alibelle she is making me cry and really isn't a very nice person.
