9 e-mails on OKcupid in 3ish hours. Date set. phone numbers exchanged. Yikes! Doubt anything will come out of it. But maybe a new friend. (she's 14 years younger, but has Sound Design in her profile, so I sent a note. Who knew she'd respond!)

eta: I should add, we've been exchanging e-mails for a couple weeks. But finally ramped up tonight.

Sounds promising, omnis! New friends are nice too. Hope it goes well.

Enjoy, omnis! Hope it goes well.

Good luck, omnis! Not that you need it.

In freaky news, a friend of mine has ben talking recently about how she was offerred a job that she couldn't talk about.

She just told us she'll be working in BURMA, as a REPORTER.

I'm mostly afraid I'll never see her again.

Grah. Post eaten. I said good things, including Happy Birthday (belated), Smonster!

How's the foot?

Still broken. Hurts because the cast hurts (velcro thingy) and I keep taking it off.

2 hours of sleep. Going back to bed now.

Thank you, Deena! ~ma for your foot.

Yay for date, omnis, be it friendly or more!

Shir, congrats to your friends on their baby. I love it when cool people reproduce.

Jars, I don't blame you for being worried. Best of luck to your friend.

Seska, I'm glad they got your light fixed.

I'm about to go in and have The Talk with my boss. Oh, hey, there's that barfy feeling again. Awesome.

non-barfy ~ma to you, smonster.

Okay, really going back to bed now. Kara finally left for the bus. 4-6th graders start school a half hour after k-3. The raptor girl is a fashionable 4th grader (unpossible!). This morning she's wearing sparkly black leggings, black mary janes, and a black and purple plaid shirt shot through with silver. On her head, a pink and black striped hello kitty hat.

Good luck to smonster with The Talk, and ~ma for Deena's foot.

Shir, your friends' new baby sounds very lucky to have arrived in a family like that.

I love it when cool people reproduce.

That. Truly great, smart and brilliant people (the mom just finished two MAs, one in musicology, the other in biology. Very bright people. I'm almost scared to think how smart their baby girl will be. The father is the same guy who announced the pregnancy with "I have successfully duplicated slightly less than 50% of my DNA (due to mitochondria)").

And of course... Yay Dating!omnis! I must confess, I was hoping you were talking about Cute Girl you flirted with, but I approve this date as well. Have fun stormi-- uh, wait. This might not be the best greeting for the situation.

Seska, good luck with turning your new place into a home.

Have fun stormi-- uh, wait. This might not be the best greeting for the situation.

I don't know; someone you can storm the castle *with* is someone you want to keep around.

Wasn't my original intention, but very much agreed.
