Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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

Oh my, shrift, I would not be up for that. I mean, maybe I could hack a couple of days, but I would be very tense the whole time. Which might lead to bonding, I hear stress can have that effect.

That's hilarious, java. Small world!

My boss brought in cupcakes, hooray!

That reminds me, I think I forgot to mention that the cake my mom's friend will make for their party will be vegan and wheat-free because my family has complicated dietary needs (and chocolate because yum). Such a good friend!

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

I have no advice, but good luck on the house-wrangling, flea

Burrell, what's a game truck??

It's either an RV or a trailer--in our case it was a trailer--that's been outfitted with a long couch on one side and about 4 wide screen tvs on the other, plus various game systems. Like a rolling arcade. It could easily seat 16 kids and let them all play at once. I personally avoided going inside, but there were parents playing in there along with the kids, and wee kids playing along with the bigger kids.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, I just found out that somebody I knew from Kenyon and saw at the reunion last summer died unexpectedly.

I wasn't close to him, but he was the best friend of somebody I know well, and she's devastated.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I know, right? For some people, spending a few days stuck in a house with their colleagues sounds like a grand old time! For me, it sounds like the definition of hell on Earth even though I like these people. I want to maintain healthy boundaries. Oh cohabitation no.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Every "bonding exercise" I was ever subjected to made me want to spend less time with the people involved.

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

Grrrrrr my head hurts. Migraine that refuses to respond to anything. Can has been a trooper in helping me maintain my dark cave. Kinda glad I did a bunch of work yesterday so I'm only behind and not seriously screwed work wise. Wish I could just sleep it off but that isn't working either.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I called the HR person for the job offer this morning at 9:45. She hasn't called me back yet.

Not that I'm obsessing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oof, David. So hard.

Wow, that sounds really cool.

the cake my mom's friend will make for their party will be vegan and wheat-free

The modern world! Because I bet it will also be delicious, and I don't know how!
