If you could have a drink (not necessarily alcoholic) with one person in your life who is gone from you now (either dead or estranged, or lost contact) who would it be?
Coffee with my mom.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My vows today were for shit.
Well, I completed the use case documentation. But as well as eating lunch at my desk, I didn't leave until 6.
And get home to find the order I DELIBERATELY DID NOT ORDER UPS NEXT DAY AIR ON is here, with the $60 shipping charge. I cancelled that order, and put it through deliberately choosing the lowest shipping, and I am really pissed that somehow the order went through for it anyway. Fucking pissed.
Which is probably why I unfollowed the Teen Wolf fan on my dash. Between 6pm and 7om, 6 more "VOTE THIS POLL" encouragements. I'm very fond of the show, but I'm not interested in slashdotting any polls in just the same way I only vote once for Supernatural or whatever. Old fans, second childhood, I have no patience. I want the show back, but I'd agree to never talk about it again if it meant I could also avoid the fanart of 16 year olds having sex with anyone. In fact, I can't work out how to get the non-shippy (or my fringe ship) cool pictures and funny interview.

At least you have it, ita. I'm annoyed I bought stuff from gap.com on Black Friday and STILL don't have my shipment. It's supposedly coming Monday. Grr.

My college roommate, but only if she was also magically going to be ...nice? willing to talk? etc.

Pete has informed me there's a stack of packages waiting for me when I get home. I know that one of them is the "Claudia's Story" manga (Anne Rice approved! It will be gloriously OTT!), there should be an antique wine glass rosary from France, and a pair of vintage witchy Fluevogs.

Cognac with Dad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The drink would be tea and the person would be my mom, and she'd have all her wits about her.
You put it that way, and I'd have to say my dad. Although he'd have a beer.
On a sillier tip, I'd love to know what became of my high school boyfriend. He's ungoogleable! At least, last I tried.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
This morning's entertainment was a fire in the parking garage at work. A mini-van's battery caught fire, on the 2nd floor down in the parking garage below our building. No damage beyond that vehicle, fortunately.
What I found disturbing was that when the fire dept. responded (with SEVEN vehicles!) they first responded to the wrong location, one block away, where there are parking garage entrances on both sides of the street, and appeared to be casting about trying to figure out where to go. Two firemen each had to manually drag a firehose down the street to our block, to catch up to their engines after they moved to the right location.

Wow, I should not poke at the bitchy babygoth on Tumblr. It's not that amusing, and it's not going to make a difference. But they're so self-righteously cranky and have tagged something "get your head out of your arse gothiccharmschool"! Hee!
ION, oh yay. The assorted rodeo fans that are now in this corridor of the hotel are of the "Whoooo, dude!" variety. Complete with blaring country pop music and "DRINK DRINK DRINK" chanting.
