I wish I had desk toys and a root.

(((Teppy))) Insent.

I have a gargoyle and a Hello Kitty ballerina. I suspect I know which one most people around here find scarier.

We all hab codes at Casa W., and I nearly bought us a humidifier at Target last night. The cool mist versions came in SpongeBob and Hello Kitty.

I have a Mr. Incredible action figure and some little toy model cars.

I'm still bummed over the disappearance of my monitor lizards....

I have a rubber bison (mascot), a stone gargoyle pen holder, a little red wagon, a glass paperweight shaped like an emerald cut diamond, a squooshy globe, a squooshy heard, and some wooden blocks on my desk.

If we're listing desk toys to whack people with, I think I win. Fuzzy monsters, gothy rag dolls, plush bats, AND a croquet mallet.

Steph, I really do think that he doesn't know how loaded that sort of question can be, especially to someone who has had to deal with questions like that from family members. IF he asks that sort of (clueless and boneheaded) thing again, try to point out to him that while he thinks he's asking about your health, what you're hearing is something very different and hurtful.

I would ammend this to "People that love you WILL hurt you the most". Guaranteed.

ETA: Not on purpose, but because we love them so much already anything we percieve as a 5 badness from stranger goes up to 11 when it's someone we love.

YES. This. It's part of being close to someone; their words and actions carry more weight, even when they shouldn't.

their words and actions carry more weight, even when they shouldn't.

And, this might just be me, but they also hold less weight.

For instance, Joe always tells me I'm beautiful, but it usually means more coming from someone else.

This might just be my psychotic-ness.

true dat. In fact some of things that Matt says - if a stranger said them , I'd just give the stranger that "are you insane" look. When Matt says them - I can go as far as questioning my whole world view. (only briefly - but just long enough to push me into insanity )

Owen - that was funny. and horrifying. and funny.

no room for toys on my work desk - too many crafts and picture books.

joins Aimee in the psychotic-ness corner

Apropos of nothing, JZ! I ran into your sea-shanty-singing friend Walter last night as we were walking back to our respective apartments. Actually, I ran into him in front of Columbus Cafe and we talked as we walked back to our respective apartments. Anyway. Small nabe.
