I want to go to the Lego movie.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's great Suzi, brag away!
flea, it sounds like you got a raw deal.
I am so dang tired, I can't find my motivation to grade, but it's not like I have a lot of choice on this one.

I once had a sit-down meeting about whether or not there was toner in the closet.
Did you sit down in the closet with the toner (or where the toner should have been but was not)? Because that has a directness I can appreciate.

No, we sat down in her office with the door closed to discuss whether or not there was toner in the closet (20 feet from her office), instead of just looking in the damned closet to see.

finally get my wisdom teeth out
Yay, Jilli! Are you planning on putting them in a locket or choker?
I had all four out over winter break one year. Going back to college like that was fun.....(And I just realized, I have no idea what happened to the teeth. She may have just thrown them out.....)

I know I've told this story before, but I had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was in college. One took a lot of teabag-biting and the like to stop bleeding, and I was feeling kind of queasy from swallowing blood. I was also out of books. I wandered down the dorm hall to find a book, and when I described what was going on, a friend said, "I have just the thing."
That's when I first read Dracula.

My mother was telling me today about the time they accidentally left my sister at the park while they were in San Diego--she had apparently been sulking and went off to read her book on a park bench an didn't make the last bus when they thought she was on an earlier one. She then made several distraught phone calls to their hotel room, but they'd gone out to dinner! Eventually they went and got her.
My response was "it's a horror story--SHE ONLY HAD ONE BOOK!!"

Go Suzi!
I need to power down soon and head to the airport, but on a mailing list, someone just asked if I ever wanted to repel. She meant "rappel" (there's another story there that Dana knows about) but I really want to respond back that I am interested in subscribing to her literature and would like more information on becoming repellant.

You people know me well. Probably one of those glass-sided locket things, which I know I can order from Etsy. Oooh, I could put the other tooth I had extracted a few years ago in it, too.
I have been putting off dealing with my wisdom teeth for YEARS. But I know I have to get it done (even tho' I don't have dental insurance right now), and better that I do it now, because I've got events, travel, and general GCS appearances starting in mid-March.
