Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I just ate a quarter bar of what should have been good chocolate and seriously dissapointed. Oh tropical source, how could you call that "dark" chocolate? Cadbury dairy milk has more cocoa solids! It was overly sweet and waxy and just not dark chocolate. i think it might have been mislabeled. i would take it back if i hadn't gotten it at a discount place. no wonder it was so cheap. *sigh*

eta: would the world mind i just ate a spoonful of frosting now?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The world is generous with its frosting towards those whom chocolate has betrayed.

Our wings are not tired.

What he said.

Sorry you are needing a reboot, Erin. I hope you find some good chocolate or whatever you need to restart your confidence in the capable person you know you are.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Is there anything you can do like deep breathing that will help you relax, Erin? You know you can do this. You're just temporarily caught in a vicious circle.

This is a thing of beauty.

Mr Peabody pushed open the bathroom door and stole a slipper while I was in the shower.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, erin, that sounds miserable, all of it. I've been in the spiral of suck at work and it is incredibly demoralizing. Wishing you the time and headspace you need to pull it all back together (and screw the discount chocolates; at this point you both need and deeply deserve a Moonstruck splurge).

Matilda's Papou got her this singing, wing-flapping monstrosity for Valentine's Day, and she's been amusing herself setting it off, smushing it against the "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" teddy bear her Aunt Judy got her in December, and saying proudly, "Look! They're kissing!" It's both vile and oddly adorable.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Wow, is the Yahoo! email spam filter wacky in a not-so-good way. I just found something I had sent myself in it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yahoo's spam filter is insane. Things seem to end up there randomly. Sometimes it even filters stuff right into the Trash, even from addresses I've gotten mail from before.

Yet, I have four Yahoo email addresses.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

(((smonster))) I hope you got some rest.

It looks like someone slashed one of our screen windows while we were out yesterday. We suspect our upstairs neighbors, but of course we have no proof.

Hopefully not so it can take a trip in the wayback machine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

erin_o, I have been there and done that. In fact, I am being there and doing that right now. Keep breathing, focus on one thing at a time, take small breaks to stretch.

sj, you have some seriously sucky neighbors.

I finally got to sleep at 3:30, on the couch. Moved back to bed when roomie got up at 5. Overslept, 1.5 hrs late to work, and I'm pretty sure that Foster Kitty peed in my closet this morning but I didn't have time to confirm and clean.

Seriously, Monday? Go fuck yourself.
