Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This is one of the reasons I have a roommate.

This is why I have cats. When I'm all alone, I'm anxious at night. With the security system on and the cats there to alert me if anything unusual happens, I can sleep peacefully. The security system by itself doesn't reassure me, for some reason.

Hahah. See, we have a cat, but he does not reassure me at all. If there were an intruder, he would just run and hide under the bed. A dog might at least bark or something.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

42 is pretty good

So what's the question? If you're the answer.

I want to say the question is "Who is made of 100% distilled AWESOME?", but I think that's not quite right...

Because books.

Happy birthday, Tep! Aside from the stabby face pain, it sounds like it was a good weekend!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The being a useful person part you could spin into an appropriate goal, I bet.

I'm trying to sort of focus around that. Invited a friend over tomorrow to help me knock this out because I am just spinning my wheels alone.

I think the only warning my cat would give me was her claws skittering on tile to go hide. The cocker spaniels next door seem happy to warn me and the entire world if there is anything wrong. Or a breeze. But probably if there were something wrong, they'd bark too.

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

My cats are reassuring in that if I hear any noises I can say to myself "it's just the cats".

I want to say the question is "Who is made of 100% distilled AWESOME?", but I think that's not quite right...

No, I think you hit the nail on the head there.

"I would like a job that pays me money and keeps me busy so I don't spend the ENTIRE day fucking around on the internet getting nothing done. I would like to feel vaguely as though I am able to accomplish something, without having that something interfere too much with my strenuous internet needs"

Also 100% distilled awesome. That objective is so awesome it's Teppy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday, Teppy!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Apparently one of my classmates just became principal of my HS

One of my classmates became a teacher at our HS within 5 years of graduating from the HS. Became department head a few years later and was principal not that long after that. Then she worked for the school district for a while. Now she owns a vintage clothing shop in a trendy part of Berkeley. Crazy!!!

She was one of those people who had her life planned out from before her HS freshman year and then followed that plan.

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

Happy birthday, Steph!

Where are you going, Burrwll? Any chance you are passing through HMB?

Sorry to not reply sooner, I've been busy with house stuff all day. We are indeed passing through HMB but just passing on our way north. We won't be staying there until the weekend of the 4th. I'll email you!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

See, my cats are the source of all sorts of distressing night time sounds, and they seem to delight in making noises I've never heard before. Or otherwise decide to cry loudly for belly rubs at 1 am.

One of the reasons I don't clean the leaves off my steps in the fall (beyond being lazy) is that it acts as a security alarm, so I can hear people crunching up the steps.
