Punishingly Intricate

You guys realize that I found you when I was 21 and now I'm almost 30, right?

hush, you

Okay what happened that suddenly EVERYBODY is on Facebook? I just found an old roommate from SF (like from '93ish) yesterday and today an old h.s. era friend found me. Like, everyone got into it in the last month? Why?

I've gotten two invitations (one from a h.s. person I haven't seen in, oh... 17 years?) and I'm not even on facebook!

Even my friends who were resisting Facebook have succumbed.

And I think I've mentioned my dad...

I don't know what you're doing... vitamins? Sleeping better? Getting some?

God, I wish.

eta: but everyone here probably already knows I'm a bit of a luddite...

hush, you

I'm turning 29 in a month. I'm just preparing you all for my existential angst.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You guys realize that I found you when I was 21 and now I'm almost 30, right?

SHUT UP. Since LJ just made me put a birth year in my profile, I decided to be 29. Maybe next year, if LJ hasn't driven us all away, I will change it and stay 29.

This morning, my coworker set aside some bubble-wrap for us to use in taking out our frustrations with one particular client. I have already had to use the bubble-wrap.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can't wait until I've been at this job long enough to start slacking and making my Doctor's appts in the middle of the work day.

t gazes in awe at the Canadian and her "National Health Care"... I've never been able to go to the doctor before I've worked somewhere two or three months.

In a post-industrial, office-job world, I think it's nuts to have to get up before the sun, no matter what time that is. Which my family mocked me about over Thanksgiving, when I was bitching about the shift in daylight savings time, but I don't care. It's not right!

Crazy Not New Yorkers and their provincial ways! I bet they even eat dinner before ten o'clock at night!

At that point you may as well start shooting with gold bullets, it'll be cheaper and considering gold's extraordinary ductile properties, the chances of it retaining any identifiable marks after impact is rather low. That is if the fragments aren't 'lost' by someone who has more greed than integrity.

Not to mention all the werewolves and zombies! No, wait, that's silver bullets.

maybe you could bombard the victim's house with a human cannon, enlarged to fire cows....

Ok, laughing and choking here

Oh, if your goal is to confuse CSI types, rather than just get away with murder?

Dude, that's simple. Just leave experimental dummies with various fatal traumas on their gelatin encased forms throughout the city. The CSI will be so put out by someone taking away all of their fun of recreating crime scenes. By the time the actual murders occur, based on previously displayed dummies, that they will be in such a depression that the investigating detectives will have to actually interview suspects on their own, follow leads and so on, rather than just eat jelly donuts at their desks while the CSI types do all the work as usual. They will be completely out of practice!

Nonsense. The whole thing has been about four years, five tops. The whole "Buffy ended longer ago than that" is just, you know, wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

I am not on facebook either. It is a stance.
