Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you happen to need a coffee table, Jesse?

This weekend:

Saturday is our company's disaster recovery test, and I have to be at our disaster site in Queens at 6:00am!!!

Sunday is one of the largest street festivals in the country.

Some time in between, I kind of want to go see Rachel Getting Married, but I'm also kind of afraid of my reaction to films about dysfunctional families. I need to get more friends so that I don't have to watch movies alone.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

This weekend is a little off. Due to the economy sucking, they've been shaving off hours at the bookstore, so I'm only on call for Saturday night (when I normally have a definite 9-4 shift instead).

I am working at the law firm on Sunday and have already been warned that it's going to be busy with tons of clients, so we'll probably be there for at least 4-5 hours (I was told when I was hired a few weeks ago that the average shift would be 2-3 hours, but I don't mind picking up some extra cash).

I have a feeling that's the way things will be for a while--retail cutting back hours, and the bankruptcy law firm giving me extra.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am so expecting to get a cold since when we went on the rez on Monday about half the kids were vividly describing how they were throwing up from strep throat. Knock on wood.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, whyfor Ikea?

Because it's there? I still haven't taken the boat! to Ikea!

There's a boat to IKEA?

I want a boat to IKEA!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm also kind of afraid of my reaction to films about dysfunctional families. I need to get more friends so that I don't have to watch movies alone.

My reaction to films about dysfunctional families is *why* I go see them alone. I'm too embarassed about getting all weepy or catatonic in front of people I know.

This is what I'm saying! It goes from my office to the Brooklyn Ikea! I can't believe I never went on a half-day Summer Friday.

If this afternoon is any indication, I will be getting a cold.

Me too. Hooray.

“Not dead yet!”

I was also mocked by a friend this morning for wearing my favorite flannel shirt--

a) it was 59 degrees when I took the kids to school and

b) it's my "comfort shirt." Dress Black Watch plaid that I've had for... ten years, at least. It's as soft as a baby's butt and I wear it when I'm deep into writing.

I can't believe she mocked me.
