Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(I asked if I could post this on Facebook and she was like, no that is too weird. But nothing is too weird for the Buffistas, who understand fandom.)
Aww! Heart.
I posted on FB but if any of y'all want a holiday card from me, email me or text me or FB me or whatever? I still feel a little weird that I ordered actual cards like a family would, but just of me and my adventures. But...
I always think of gherkins as being sweet style pickles and of cornichons as being delicious! meara, one of my single friends has always done cards with her and her cat. This year her new dog is in the picture and I can't wait to get her card! Once again I'm sad this year that I haven't gotten it together to send cards. I love getting them!
Aw. Casper.
That's not weird, meara, that's excellent! Or if it is weird it's the good kind.
New Years Cards are the way to go.
I'm still hoping to send out cards. I figure I've got a week.
Man, good news/bad news:
Really bad news: the son of another friend of my mother's just died also. My poor mom is kind of a mess today, as you might imagine.
Good news: I made it to the next round in this interview process!
Bad news: it's writing a thing that's due Thursday at 6pm, and I have choir tonight and office party on Wednesday.
Good news: it's not a huge project
Better news: Saw Brenda! Good times.
Yay good news! Boo bad news. :(
Anyone have any good methods for stopping an incipient crush? I can feel myself going there but I rationally know that even if this person was interested in me it would be a terrible plan--we make good friends and I don't want to ruin that, but I also think we would not make a good couple!!
Can you envision the aftermath if it happened and then went bad?
Jesse, I'm wishing you an improved good to bad news ratio. :(

Hm. When I feel like I've been developing on a crush that could prove inappropriate (which given the whole married-and-monogamous thing, is most of them that aren't on fictional characters or athletes/actors I'm unlikely to meet outside of my TV screen), I just kinda relentlessly remind myself of the reasons for the inappropriateness and try to avoid flirty behavior. Like, there's one friend where I only let myself do the "shared inside joke because we have the dirtiest and geekiest minds in this place" look maybe a quarter of the times I *want* to, because I'm too aware of the if-we-were-both-single potential that's between us.
Of course. Tonight I discover the seal on my kitchen sink drain is shot and leaking. It's totally something I'd DIY, but I DON'T HAVE TIME.
