I'm sick, and low on energy, so today's plan is simply showering and making Valentines with Sara for her class. And probably napping.

Feel better Amy!

That's hilarious about everyone going to Jared Leto. I did add Atreites to the name sticker, to help clarify. Maybe I'll skip that pairing altogether.

Now I'm miffed though. The store owner just called (3 hours before the event) to say that she thinks we should not do the ice-breakers after all.

So, why am I helping with this event again? SHE is concerned that people will be intimidated. Which I suppose I get, but why come to a singles event if you don't want to talk to anyone? Plus, the fantasy that the stuff I want to do _isn't_ low key bothers me.

Who are these horrible people who force strangers to embarrass themselves or over-share or somehow degrade innocent party-goers? Those people are not me!

bogey/bacall, han solo/leia, leto/jessica, alice/mad hatter, hagrid/buckbeak, sherlock/watson, dracula/van helsing, lady/tramp, starbuck/apollo

Alice/Mad Hatter? Did I miss shipping subtext here? How are they more paired than anyone else in the book?

Not that my opinion should count for much, because I hate icebreaking exercises with a fervent passion, but I don't think the list is that consistent, since some is platonic, some is nemesis, some is wuv. But that's just my knee jerk reaction.

I hope this ER visit takes. Everyone was creepy friendly, even when they were trying to say no. Which got retracted. Like, the orderly kept coming back into my room and offering to do stuff for me. And the doctor kept patting my feet. Even as he was telling me I couldn't have a second dose. Which he later gave me.

Please break, headache. It's been two weeks. And I had a slice of bread to eat yesterday. I'd really like to do better. I've just been stretched out horizontal for 48+ hours.

So passionately blah.

That's hilarious about everyone going to Jared Leto.

Every time I hear a 30 Seconds to Mars song on the radio, I'm startled, because they're not too bad, and I never expect much from a celebrity band.

I do like one 30 seconds song. Typing this from the new iPhone. Am I supposed to just see the normal page or is there a different one for this device?

I hope this ER visit takes.

Oh jeez, ita. May it be so! A two week headache is well past its sell-by, for goodness sake. I'm glad folks are being nice, but I'd rather the headache just disappear. So sorry for your struggle.

I don't think the list is that consistent, since some is platonic, some is nemesis, some is wuv. But that's just my knee jerk reaction.

You've actually hit on the point. I'm not using hearts and flowers or pushing the 'y'all couple up now!' angle. Just giving people a simple way to begin even the briefest conversation. If, for no other reason than to choose who they would like to play an actual game with.

(weirdly, I've got Ultraviolet on in the background and one of the characters just used the phrase 'past its sell-by date' as I was typing that phrase. He was talking about a garlic-laced bullet to use on vampires. Coinky-dink.)

I just see the normal page.

headache-out~ma ita

and making Valentines with Sara for her class

yup. here too. Dear Michaels, thank you very much once again for the cheap holiday swag.

Michael's is the bomb. It's my very first stop before planning any wedding.

I am sad to report that I spent much of the night barfing. I know you were all waiting for my report. I sort of feel like I've been beaten with sticks today. Although some of that may be the fact that I haven't had any coffee.
