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.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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.

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

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.
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.
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!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'd definitely recommend it, especially for someone like me, who is easily flustered by party planning.

I've made vegan chocolate cake and it was delicious and easy peasy, and I've made gluten-free cupcakes that were delicious too. I'm guessing that combining the two is trickier but no less tasty.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Honestly, I grew up with vegan chocolate cake, because my mom is like that, and just think that's normal. And it may not be so much wheat-free as spelt, which is a pretty easy substitution. But still, she offered out of the goodness of her heart to make a free professional-quality cake and we're all "Great! Here are our weird requirements..." and she's still in.
It'll have whipped cream frosting which my mom reserves the right to scrape off. Compromise.
