Well fuck-a-roni. I ws just an idiot, surpassing my own idiocy.

I friended and then sent a Facebook email to my sister's BFF who I am also friends with. The email said:

"Hey chica - I wasn't sure how involved your dad still is with the athletic dept at CHS, but a really good friend of mine applied for a job with the athletic director and I was hoping to play the "older sister of your best friend" card and ask if maybe your dad would put in a good word for her? Her name is Former President of our Little League. I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind mentioning it, but if you DO mind, then no problem whatsoever. Thought I'd ask.
Thanks, love.
Aimee"

I get a response really quickly. The response said:

"Hi Aimee - This is actually "Dad", not Daughter who has the same gender neutral first name as I do, just spelled differently. What position did your friend apply for?"

I apologized profusely, told him the position, and begged him not to tall my mother what I did.

My sister is going to DIE LAUGHING.

Hil, can you do a weekend trip with your sis? That would be fun.

Maybe. I'm not sure whether she'll be free.

I think I want to just go out to dinner and drinks with some friends. I just don't have any friends here yet.

Well fuck-a-roni. I ws just an idiot, surpassing my own idiocy.

If it makes you feel less alone in idiocy?

I was talking to my dad last night and saying something about my trip down there tonight for a surprise birthday party. Which, after he questioned me a little more, turns out to be next weekend.

I'm sure I would have clued in when they refused to give me a boarding pass.

t looks at the calendar

OH!! November 4th! It's clearly National Jack Ass Day!!

See, I screwed that up too. I started early.

Seriously I was talking to my dad and he's starting to make, "Um, refresh my memory why you're coming down?" noises and I am mentally thinking, "Oh noes! Memory issues! Dad can't have forgotten mumble's party. Oh noes!" when really I should have been thinking, "Oh noes! I HAVE THE MEMORY ISSUES. And cannot read a calendar. What a jack ass I am!"

But then I realized it meant I didn't have to do laundry and that was a total win.

Aimee, that's hilarious.

As I posted on FB--I got an email earlier today from one of the people I go visit for work (who's always been super brusque) that ended with "See you next Tuesday!". And was paranoid she was calling me a cunt. Except she actually IS seeing me next Tuesday...

Oh, I just finally got that.

Very funny, Aims. Sorry you've got that embarrassed feeling, though. Hee.

I started my time on FB being pretty strict about who I friended up with. But because I'm co-dependent and don't like to hurt people's feelings, I couldn't stick with that forever. Another friend request today made me decide to get off my ass and make some lists.

I suspected this already but it's worse than I thought: There are a couple people I don't remember or recognize. In some cases this is because I know them by their online pseud and didn't get enough reinforcement on what their real name is. In other cases it's because I must be on the express bus to Alzheimer's.

I don't think I said this earlier today, but I've been thinking it, so -- Ginger, amyth, you and your families are in my thoughts.

Then again, I am the fool who refuses novacaine when at the dentist. Every filling I've ever gotten has been done without anything, let alone a local.

I used to do that, because I hated being numb. (Don't mind needles; I don't seek them out or anything, but I don't mind them.)

And then, then the molar cracked and I had to have it pulled. Yeah. Suddenly being numb was BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS.

Have taken steroids, Zantac, and zyrtec. Silver lining is my doctor is cool as shit (lesbian ex-Mormon, for starters) and is hIlarious and a font of useful info. We talked for an hour. Srsly.

Anyway, ~ma to them as needs it and once again, I am going to bed early.
