So how many people are actually freaking out about the world ending on Friday?
At this point I'm counting on it.

Did you know there's an insect called a "cockchafer"? What's more, there's multiple types, including the common European cockchafer and the European forest cockchafer. The latter is apparently rather hard on wood. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't heard a single person mention a real apocalypse--mostly it's a great time to bring out every apocalypse reference in fiction ever. Dibs on Jacob Glaser!
I just made an appointment with a home health nurse for next year. They want to investigate giving me my meds at home....which would be perfect.
And a 180 from the people who said I can't take that much without a negative reaction--I can't even get my meds in Fast Track because there isn't enough monitoring equipment.
Anyway, going to go try see the Hobbit now. Wish me kind technology, so that I make it the whole way through with no pain.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
If it turns out to be possible to give you your pain meds at home, all the doctors who failed to investigate well enough to discover this should be cockkicked (Unless they are women, and then they should be gooliekicked)

It really annoys me because 12/21 is Shane's birthday. Let the child have his cake without all the doom and gloom, wacky people!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My dad's birthday, too! I don't think anyone is seriously worried, right?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I don't know anyone personally who is actually worried, but I have (unfortunately) noticed at work a distinct uptick in really unpleasant situations around the city. Now, part of that is people being totally paranoid after the mass shootings (OMG! There's a guy with a gun in the grocery store! But then police confirm it was just a guy holding his cell phone funny) but there's also just way more volume. So I'm pretty worried about one or two people going waaaay overboard and causing a massive problem. I'll be taking a week's worth of meals with me to work Thursday night for lo, I am paranoid about other people's reactions.

Art Crawl!!!
Kind technology, ita!
I really enjoyed the movie: saw it at imax with 3/d and best imax and 3d experience ever.

I don't know anyone who is seriously worried, but it's still kind of annoying to see it everywhere. It's kind of like how Octomom happened right when we were trying to get PG using IVF. I was ready to smack the next person who said, "Just don't put in 8!" Shut it, smartasses.

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 world's not going to end. That'd be too easy. It's like when you realize in January that your last desk calendar is no longer accurate and have to go to Office Max for a new one. Does Office Max still exist?
Ugh, I have the stabbiest headache right now. It's not even the level of pain that is making me want to go fetal, it's the stabbiness. I'm considering throwing up and taking a nap. I don't think I could sleep but I could hide.
