Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I know the feeling will pass, really. Just would like it to pass a little sooner already.

Oh man, Theo. I know that feeling and it sucks. I'm sorry.

GeoGuessr: Wow, I just got insanely lucky with three out of those five last locations -- found signs that told me exactly where I was. And with the other two, I knew which country I was in and which road I was on, but couldn't tell which part of the country. Total score 23,060, which I'm sure I will never beat.

I've had to go pretty far down the road to find a sign.

Yeah, me too. With that one I finally found a sign that told me I was on 272, though I still had no idea which country I was in or what cities/towns were nearby. The sign didn't look like any US road signs I'd ever seen. Then I saw a truck go past with lettering that told me I was in an English-speaking country with telephone numbers formatted the same as US numbers, and the foliage/landscape looked fairly northern, so I guessed Canada. I haven't been allowing myself to Google place names, but I did spend quite a while dragging the map of Canada around and zooming in and out to try to find 272.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And THEN, I realized as soon as I hit the vending machine button for M&Ms, that what I really wanted was a Hershey bar with almonds. WHY GOD WHY?????

hip deep in pie

I just got .19 km away from the target. Of course they plopped me in front of a landmark in Victoria, BC, so I knew exactly where I was.

Jesse, that is tragic. And always go for the Hershey Almond bar.

I forgot they were even in there! Or, maybe they aren't always in there?

Why can't I just go home?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Day 3 of the No Diet, and I'm finally hitting the hungry-all-the-time-where-are-my-fucking-carbs!! part. sigh. And left the work I could be doing on my desk at, uh, work, so that will have to wait for next week. oops.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I am supposed to go to STID in an hour and a half, and I feel like crap: headache and nausea. It's the 2nd day of my new AD, and it's w/i normal parameters of adjustment, in my personal anecdotal experience, but I don't feel like a loud moving movie.

The tix are already bought. And I want to see it! But I feel gross.

WOES.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I finally got my lunch out of a vending machine. Microwaveable cheeseburger, ftr.

Now a staff meeting, then my day is pretty much over. So it seems to me you should be able to go home, Jesse. All'a'y'all, in fact, go on home.

WOOOOOOOOOOO.

But no.

Maybe I can sneak out at 4:30 though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just ate half of the most disappointing egg salad sandwich in the world. It looked SO GOOD but it was SO BLAND. What I thought were chopped up pickles were just chopped cucumber, and I don't think there was any salt added at all. The dill was in such big pieces all it did was get stuck in my teeth without adding any dill flavor. I threw the other half out because it was making me sad.
