OMG! I'm Greek and never realized it.
OPA!
My mom claims I'm Irish but I can't stand scalloped potatoes.
Huh. Maybe I'm also Irish.
YAY LOTS OF BABIES! My officemate's daughter is in L&D at a hospital across town right now, at 5cm and counting.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay babies!!
Strix, I am also glad to see you back around. Hang in there! The solstice is coming!!
I canceled my insurance claim b/c it was wear and tear and am waiting for an estimate. The slave cylinder is definitely leaking, and the master might need replacing, too. He says I'll have it back by Thursday night! Here's hoping.

Thrive to spite them
smonster in terms of car repairs that doesn't seem too bad.
I have to wrap presents and take them to the post office, and I don't want to. Thinking of going to the post office is making me antsy and uncomfortable.

Strix, I'm glad to see you coming out of the dark.
smonster, that's a relief.
Yesterday, going holiday shopping with my Dad, I tried an experiment. I dressed like I always do, but didn't wear a top hat. Surprise, surprise, there were no "Oh, steampunk!" comments directed at me. Hmmm. Dear steampunk, the neo-Victorian goths did not relinquish custody of top hats to you.
Shopping with Dad was fun. It felt really good to help him pick out presents for his lady friend. She makes him really, really happy, and that's all that I want.

I'm glad the car stuff was in the low three figures, smonster.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
The office is telling me to leave. I swear. Aside from having low motivation to work, here is what is conspiring to send me home:
- The wind is howling something fierce, and is rather distracting.
- The sun is glaring in the window, so I have to close the vertical blinds
- The sun is heating up the room, so I have to open the door for fresh air (no A/C)
- The slightly opened door blows the vertical blinds, such that they make annoying noise, and temporarily blind me with sunlight as the blinds temporarily ceases to keep the sun out
See? All good reasons to leave, right??
If only. I'm only staying another hour or so anyhow.
---- Smonster, glad the car will be repaired, and that it's relatively cheap, as far as car repairs go! And glad you had emergency funds to cover it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Dear steampunk, the neo-Victorian goths did not relinquish custody of top hats to you.
Pretty much every event I've been to where there have been steampunk-themed (or maybe I should say "steampunk"-themed, for lo, I still believe that scare quotes can be used properly in this day and age) folks, it has all boiled down to top hats, goggles, and gears glued everywhere.
