I think the difference between the guy on the plane and the woman is that he knows he's an asshole.

I am one with flea. I was LOLing at the Tweets until he proceeded to up the ante for cheap internet validation. Yeah, she was a whiny self-centered jerk, but if someone was sending me notes saying "Eat a dick" twice on a plane, I'd bitch my fucking head off, especially if airline attendents were facilitating the notes.

If you're going to harass a stranger on a plane, even a very unpleasant one, with sexually threatening words, have the fucking nads to stand up and do it to her face. So the whole plane can see what assholes you BOTH are. WTF is this, 5th grade?

Live-tweet, by all means. But I've seen posts congratulating this smug jackass all day, and those notes went over the line.

well my day did not go as planned and no idea why I am surprised, but am and am pouty.

My friend who was going to come over and help me decorate had to work all day. I went by to help her and stayed for 2 hours, but she was still not done. I went by my parents' house to let their dog out midday and I got their tree down from the attic, because at 70 the do not need to be dealing with that.

So now at home, have a full plate of left overs and no decorating has been done.

I think I should just focus on getting the tree up and worry with outside stuff tomorrow since the sun is halfway set already.

Bah, I just wanted it all done today.

I have a date in about an hour. I repeat, a date. I'm kinda flipping out and am trying not to nervous myself into an anxiety attack. We have been talking online for a few weeks and we get along great. But I get no spark from his pictures, so who knows. I haven't dated in YEARS. Eeeeeep.

I hope you have fun, SuziQ.

Good luck, Suzi!

msbelle, my mother started a new thing, semi by necessity, where she does some of the decorating every weekend, and now she likes it, because the season builds up.

OK. I think it's two more boxes for the kitchen, one for the bathroom, and one of misc. Not bad! I've been remarkably calm about this whole thing, and am only really over it now. So I'm going to have dinner.

I want to have a Christmas tree SO MUCH this year, but I don't know if the kittens of chaos are ready to experience one yet. We haven't put one up since we got them two years ago; Vlad is enormous and not only capable of knocking over chairs, but apparently thinks it's the best game ever.

Get a tree, Jilli! Now is the time!

my tree gets tied up - and no breakables - because they still want to climb the tree

So, at the burger place, Michael Jackson's "Black or White" was playing. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am that none of the people I could see wiped their faces at "I'm not gonna spend my life being a color." It's because they are too young to know the video, right?? Because who could resist that? I almost did it, and I was sitting there alone!
