I've seen SO MANY episodes of violent rage working in DV and homeless teen shelters and with high school students that pretty much nothing phases me.
And my friends are a pretty drama-free bunch, as are my family members.
But then again, I don't have any triggers about violence -- YMMV. My reaction is usually "keep everyone else safe," try to de-escalate the sitch, in professional situations.
If someone acted like that in my HOME (I'm thinking of "I have a party and a guest of a friend freaked) it's be de-escalation, then it things got worse, gethefuckout, even if I have to physically do it myself and call the cops.
I have my crankypants on this morning.
Laga, have fun!! And yay for D being a sweetie.
Jilli, I have had lasers shot into my eye several times!! I did not enjoy the experience, but it beats the heck outta going blind!! May this be the end of it.
Man, had dinner at a friend's house, drank the wine, got into some passionate but courteous debates with her and her bf, and suddenly it was nearly 1 am. Just now up and walking the dog, and I'm a little hungover. Gronk.
Wow, the upcoming Coilhouse party in NYC looks like a Gothy German expressionist dark cabaret wonderland.

I'm reminded of Juliana's arrival in North Beach.

Hee. Well, we are twins.
Speaking of social lives, Nora, what are your weekend plans? Wanna hang? StW and I are going tubing with the local RPCV group on Saturday, but that's all I know. I need to check Tipitina's calendar - there were some bands coming I want to see, but can't remember when.
Weekend plans are open- still recovering from the bronchitis, so hanging out at, like, Pete's isn't a great idea. Probably will hit the Avenue Pub on Friday though.
You going to the ICNA thing tonight?
I love smonster and Nora being neighbors. I just do. Of course, it makes me want to win the lottery, and buy an island for all of us, but....
Let's win the lottery and buy NEW ORLEANS.
Toddson, thanks. She's very aware of copyright issues, and only uses books that are out of copyright. She's waiting for Ella Enchanted. (She was surprised that anyone besides she and I knew about that book.)
Jilli, thanks! I think they're beautiful too, especially considering she's only been doing this a few months. But my good opinion, in her mind, just means I love her.
Nora, I think so. You?

Ahaha. There are many exciting real estate opportunities here.
Okay, time to go figure out WTH I'm wearing to today's interview.
