Happy birthday, Plei!
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies, Plei!

Happy birthday, Plei!
It's been my experience that hanging on to anger and resentment does me little good, and doesn't hurt the other person at all: if they're sufficiently toxic, they'll think it's funny I'm spending so much emotional energy on them. And if they're just oblivious, it won't mean anything at all to them.
But it is hella hard to turn away from that anger and spend my emotional energy in other ways, better ways. Living well is -- well, it's not effective revenge, because it assumes the other person cares one way or another (and I don't think they do). But it's the best thing for me, anyway. Really, the best I have managed is to move my life away from those situations, and let myself forget about them. It's not been a conscious thing.
I hope you can find your way to peace with it, JZ. That's a tough situation, and it must be so hard to have pity for someone who treated you so badly. But it shows that you are a better person than she is, because you actually care about other people and things like justice and kindness.

Someone got thrown out of the library this morning for taking off her bra and throwing it at another patron.
Never a dull moment.

Clarification: she was thrown out for refusing to put on her shirt.
She took off her bra and threw it at a passerby while hanging out (um, literally) in the courtyard outside the library.
Mental health services were contacted.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthdat, Plei!
Am now at the con hotel. Didn't find anything at my parents' house I wanted to take back with me. My dad wanted me to take the record player/tape deck/stereo combo, but I don't have any place to put it, if it even works.

I actually burned through most of the work I'd been putting off today and now I'm looking at places to live in SF. I'm wondering how many times this is going to make me break down and cry.
