This is a whole Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants thing! Possibly! (...I know nothing about that book/movie beyond the title.)
Also, they are of the devil. I say this because I've caught them creeping into my e-mail, etc., SURELY typed by fingers other than my own. SURELY.
God, word. I've resisted the fuckers for a decade, but they're definitely starting to creep in. I blame this guy, because I've started to see the stylised expression of dismay as highly comical:

See? It's oddly disarming.

I'm charmed to bits both by the Spanish PM's daughters being goths, and by the fact that their privacy is so fiercely guarded. Spain: pretty damn awesome, in many and varied ways.
Also? Good morning. Jings. Can it be bedtime again?
Argh. Why is my advisor not responding to my emails? I just need to know whether he can meet with me tomorrow or not, and I first asked last Thursday!
The years I have money I usually start keeping an eye out for Christmas gifts in September. I'll have two or three left to find by December.
The less money I have, the earlier I start shopping. I've successfully done a fair bit of Christmas shopping at garage sales.
Codeine is making me feel woozy. Though I felt a little woozy before taking it, too. Ankle hurts less, though.
Advisor still hasn't emailed me back. I think I might not go into the office tomorrow. Ankle needs a rest.
Can codeine make eyes itchy? It seems like, whenever I take it, my eyes get dry and itchy.
You should definitely take care of yourself, Hil.
Meanwhile, Jilli, there's a great jacket with lots of buttons at H&M...
Oh ... dear. And Plei was a meanie-head who kept me out of H&M over the weekend!
I got Jilli a prezzie when I was in SF this weekend, and she's going to luvre it when I eventually send it to her.

Phrases that make Editor-Calli cry, part 11,000,000,000:

Why, god(dess), why?
I'm pretty sure that one was dedicated to the service of Cthulhu. So yeah, making the Baby Jesus cry, and causing Editor-Calli's brains to melt and drain out her ears was the point.
