I just wanted to say, I always enjoy the relationship stories.(Of course, I speak as someone who turned finding someone into a campaign of near-military proportions, to the point of codenaming it "Operation Boompty Boompty".)
I like the ruffles.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am trying to power through and do some stuff I need to do. I applied for the Target jobs, and now i am seeking out quotes for Health Insurance, but the site keeps failing. So now I am giving up and playing fb games.

Hahahahaha our former student just posted "I got the stuff" on the SO's facebook page, like a completed drug deal. I swear, supporters, we are only supplying musical materials, not controlled substances!

Good luck, msbelle.
Ally is amazing and that comic is terribly sad but it's also awesome, and important.
It was all of those things. I actually did touch a spider today. Well, I killed it, really. Literally, not metaphorically.
All good thoughts and ~ma to DH tomorrow in surgery and to you in the waiting room, Maria.

Y'all go with the badass spider-touching. I now have a contact list for when one is looming on the ceiling over my bed. Awesome.
Yeah, I'm keeping notes on who I can call when Pete isn't home. And I have to say, my bouts of depression have never made me get to the point of not caring about my phobias. Dammit.
What could be too gross? You were having brain surgery and they found a Jillifont in your skull?
On the one hand, iiiieeeeee and ewwwww! On the other hand, I love that you just refer to them as Jillifont.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There's a new Hyperbole and a Half. Except it's not funny, and I'm trying hard to no cry at work right now.
God damn, that is so spot-on it's painful.
I don't want to touch a spider, though. Maybe buy all the Skittles, but no spider-touching.

Damn, now I totally want to submit an entry to Urban Dictionary.

I meant to agree: it hits a little too close to home to be really funny. Brilliant and true, but not funny.

Good luck with the job hunt, msbelle.
I came home to a letter from my health insurance co. They wanted to let me know that a nurse would be calling me with advice on how to be less fat. My level of "bite me, Cigna" cannot be textually rendered.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They do not review my work, even if I provide it early and then are furious if they find errors when they are on a job site. I literally had to say today that I would not be able to guarantee never making a mistake.
Oh god, that's like the definition of a no-win situation at work. Ugh.
And I can confirm that while msbelle is a beautiful person in many ways, customer service would likely not be the best job choice.... for anyone involved.
