msbelle, I'm so sorry to hear about mac. I hope he's better now.
Now.
Guess who had a very interesting night.
It started with an early birthday present and mutual day dreaming. Excellent.
Continued with meeting my ex-best-friend, who I wasn't in touch with for the past 2 years. Among many other shiny things, he's now out of the closet. Big jaw dropper (happy and excited for him, but wow!).
Finished now, with me reading my eamils and seeing that they rejected me from the cadet program I wanted to get into. Without testing me this year at all. Yes, they just took my test results from last year and figured out that I won't make it this year as well. NO SHIT, morons. Why did I send you the mountain of files this year again? Right, so I'll be able to reapply and get tested again. No, I didn't think that after raising the standards from last year I'll pass, but you didn't even give me the chance. That not only hurts, but also completely waste of my time and good will.
I'm gonna be grumpy at bed, staring at the early birthday gifts, wake up tomorrow morning and write them a "wtf?" email back. Mountains of paper work, people. Seriously. For getting another rejection.
Oof. Plan B officially starts.
On the bright side - Dr. Horrible.
How could anyone not love Ichiro?
The last couple days or so the spam has included a large number of fake headline emails. I appreciate the effort to amuse me prior to deleting. Haven't seen past the subject so I don't know if they are selling drugs or mortgages.

hang out with theatre people for a while. It's not uncommon. especially if you're in the middle of a musical.
Hey! My life resembles that remark.
has flashback to college parties, wherein there would be "Miss Saigon"/"Phantom of the Opera"/"Rent" medley extravaganzas
Ha! Remember the clip of the HIMYM cast on....some daytime talk show? When the cast members were talking about how NPH and Jason Segal would randomly start singing the Jean Valjean/Javert "Confrontation" from Les Mis? And so then NPH and Jason Segal just started singing it right then, on the talk show?
That sums up my high school years entirely too well. Because we did that shit all. the. time. Actually, that specific song.
People who need to explain themselves:
- Ones who come to a stop >1 car length behind the car in front of them at the light, whether or not they spend the duration of the red inching forwards.
- People with a lot of baggage that squeeze you out of the back corner of the up elevator even though they're getting out at 3 and no one's pressed 2.
- Groups of people who line themselves across the door and then press 11 when 6 is the next highest floor pressed. And seem surprised when the elevator stops.
People that amuse me:
- The woman taking the elevator's Jimmy Kimmel/Sarah Silverman breakup news very seriously--up to and including being very startled by the closing sentence: "It is not known if Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are involved."
- The English co-worker who has now taken to expressing displeasure using the word bother.
- The co-worker who told me to get the English co-worker's attention with a reacharound. Bother indeed.
What do I want for dinner?
thanks for all the concern. mac did fine on the trip, but was anxious about my arrival to pick him up today. all is well now.
