I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My sinuses are in revolt and I feel yuck and I hate everything except my hair and red nails. work sucks and my boss is a turd and my cat pees in the entryway and I ramble and things are messy and I am tired and none of you all leave nearby and I haven't won the lottery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And now I reposted a thing to Good Stuff about Christians apologizing at a gay pride parade, with a picture of a guy in briefs. We'll see if we lose any of those new followers!

We're totally (sort of) tumblr famous now -- I just saw someone excited that I followed them back. I had no idea that was all I wanted!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't like the format you chose, Jesse. I know, I know--armchair webmastering. But it doesn't show the number of notes on the posts does it? At least, I can't find them.

Still, although I will maintain I understood this was a reblog opportunity waiting to happen--this many times this quickly? Wow. I wish Tumblr showed you a reblog tree, so you could see where it really took off. I wonder if the API gives you enough information, and an enterprising third party not named me gave it a go.

For some reason I just randomly remembered a policy change at work-- we now have VTO--Volunteer Time Off, where you get a day off work if you volunteer for charity instead, in a team with at least three other co-workers.

It's a really cool principle, but I know I'm never gonna arrange that with my colleagues--someone's gonna have to...what's the inoffensive verb for Shanghai? Anyway, I won't manage that.

Unrelatedly, why does google sometimes serve pages that don't have all my search terms, but doesn't seem to be searching on a synonym or doing the "word found on page containing a link here"--what are the remaining use cases past changed content?

No, it doesn't. I think it's kind of dumb but pretty, and am not overly loyal to it, if you want to make suggestions. Almost 10K now. It's not even a great post! I mean, it's a great story, but the picture should be bigger and/or there should be more of them.

I just reblogged it. (I meant to earlier today, but meetings and stuff happened.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did make sure I posted it on Facebook through the tumblr, but my followers are not so numerous or loyal as Jilli's

I also wish the comma and the apostrophe were on the top level of the iPhone keyboard. And I wish I could get the Cookie Monster version od Call Me Maybe ( which always reminds me of Call Me Madam ) out of my head.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That biker story is beautiful.

I just got the word that the remaining work on my apartment will start Monday. Thus begins project Move Everything Out of the Bedroom. I should cull the closet.

I will look around this weekend, Jesse.

Has anyone ever posted to omg.yahoo.com? I've commented on an article, and the comments appear for five or ten minutes, and then they go away--is there an incubation period. or am I hallucinating all of this?

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

Oh, dear. My mom just sent me a link to some weird website, asking me if I knew anything about it, because she'd thought the link looked weird when it was sent to her and even weirder after she clicked on it and tried to log in just like it told her to.

Sigh. I foresee a long, long tense phone call and a painful remote log-in and hard drive scrubbing for my baby brother tonight. I wonder if I should call and warn him?

eta: Oh, thank goodness. I cautiously checked out the link, without logging in, and it turns out that "weird" and "even weirder" mean "ornate and flowery and possibly slightly stoned," and it seems to be the blog of a friend of a friend. Weird, but not malicious. Still, what was she doing trying to log onto some site she didn't recognize, sent from an apparent stranger? Bad computer hygeine!
