Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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

I loved notebooks with black-and-white covers, because they were what Harriet used on her spy route. I also went through a long period in high school and college of using cartridge fountain pens. I thought it was very sophisticated and unique, which was helped by the fact that I tried to only use green ink. I think the sophistication was mitigated by the fact that I am left-handed and I ended up with ink smears on my hand ALL THE TIME.

Yes! Could not turn it off and am paying for it today. so tired. and feeling like I'm getting a cold and have no time to rest for the next eleventy billion days. But at least I'm not married to a dude who spent $80,000 on fancy hookers!

I'm usually asleep at that time and watch TDS the next day, but I don't regret staying up for special occasions. Looked like Jon was going to wet his pants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But at least I'm not married to a dude who spent $80,000 on fancy hookers!

AND, as I learned from the headline on the free newspaper this morning, unsafe sex!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Meh - I think my office's firewall hates streaming video. (Which is ironic, since I work for a media company, but whatever.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

She was at the cashier's at Trader Joe's when I called her; when she hung up, the cashier said, "Sounds like someone had a rotten day." "My friend just got fired," Deb said. And the cashier reached behind her and grabbed one of those 3-pack bricks of dark chocolate and dropped it in Deb's bag, saying, "Give her this. I find chocolate always helps."

Awwwwwww. That's awesome.

I have a similar but unrelated story. I was lamenting to my friend about my computer, how I thought I might have a virus and I might have to reinstall Windows and that would be really stressful because I was afraid I'd forget something or lose something important and all my settings would be different and what if I couldn't find all the programs again and I don't deal with computer issues AT ALL. She consoled me as a good friend should.

Later, she told me that she had taken the call in the presence of a friend, who, when she hung up, asked, "So, your friend got dumped, huh?"
