Jesus wept - I'm hardly ever over at LJ, but the sweeping alteration they've just made to the profile pages makes me want to cut a bitch.
I'm still pissed off about the New Facebook - why has LJ decided to betray me too? It's so UGLY! And newfangled in a rubbish way, not in a useful way. LJ is supposed to be a cosy, familiar COMMUNITY space, not a frigging mall. Gah.
See that person waving from the next torture chamber? That's me.
Waving from across the hall.
Hey, vw, I have an addage for you: When life gives you scraps, make a quilt.
LOVE! I think I have a new embroidery project!
we can haz snow!
Also and more importantly:
Happy Birthday Sparky!!!!!!
Yay Tom!
I hope the anxiety attacks knock it off for the Bitches soon. I've been able to take mine down with Xanax, but I'm worried about addiction issues (as is my doctor--I have a family history of addictive behavior) so I'll be looking for alternatives. Pity. Sweet, sweet Xanax knocks 'em out every time, for me.
Referring to "sweet, sweet Xanax" isn't gonna get me a prescription refill anytime soon, I know.
It's Sparky's birthday? Happy Sparky Day!
Overheard in our house:
"Thank you for not killing the child this morning."
"Upon reflection, I think it was the wise decision."
"You know that's going on b.org, right?"
"Ayup." -> gives sox the stinkeye.
Barb, that's a tough situation. I'd say, stand by Nate until given better evidence against him. I say this, not as a parent, but as someone who remembers being a kid.
Well, the school called this morning. They're saying that his part in it was to the "extreme roughhousing" end of the spectrum. He threw no punches but definitely was involved. Which falls in line with what he told me with the exception of when, exactly, he got involved.
He's serving an in-school suspension where he'll do his work in a quiet environment. All things considered, it's not bad, but I'm Not Pleased.
And because it deserves its own post,
Happy Birthday, Sparky!
Happy Birthday Sparky!
Barb, it sounds like things have been settled appropriately - Nate wasn't punching, but he got involved. And judging from how he handled the girl picking on his friend a while back, it sounds like punching might be his LAST resort, instead of his first.
And GG, isn't teaching drama to teenagers kind of redundant?
