A coworker just named her new daughter Calliope Cosme familyhonorificname Mirkat Dadlastname momlastname. I'd judge on behalf of the kid filling out forms, but the couple is Russo-Spanish and sticking with ALL their family naming traditions* and I love the geeky reasoning behind the non-family tradition names (Mirkat was first choice for a fname, peaceful kitten, but it kept turning into meerkat, so...)
- which actually dictates she should have 3 middle names, plus both parents' names!
I discovered Buffy because my BF kept telling me I would love this new show he was watching. He kept pushing and pushing. The first episode I saw was Graduation Day Part One and I was instantly hooked. Reader, I married him.
Whew, looks like my boss is calling off Monday install. Will be certain by early morning, but...whew.
The snow has begun in Chicago. The drive home tonight was fun. Clearly they're waiting until closer to the morning rush to get the snow plows out.
The Reynauds is bad today so I am now holding a mug of hot water to warm up my fingers. I have to keep reminding myself not to sip.
-t, I hope you feel better quickly.
Remember my problematic "friend"? We're done. I blew up when she told me she didn't want me touching her because I'm "gay" and she's not comfortable with that. She didn't understand why I was upset. "Well, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." Oh hell no. I'm not hurt, I'm mad. She was all, "But it's okay! I'm fine with it! I just don't want you to touch me!" Oh you're fine with it? Guess what. I'm not. She said some other shit too. Why the hell would she think I'd want to be friends after that.
And you know, "bisexual" was just beyond her ability to comprehend, I guess, so I didn't even get into it. That's the last damn time I open up to someone over a bottle of wine. Although if I hadn't I wouldn't know this about her and I'm glad I do. Saved me from getting too deep into a disastrous relationship.
Friends who end up not being so are very distressing.
What a jerk! I'm sorry, Zenkitty.
Wow, Zenkitty! I'm sorry, but yeah better done with that one. I would say WTF is wrong with people, but I know, and that part is depressing.
Wow, Zen, I'm sorry. Gold star to you for taking the risk, though. The only way to find out if you can trust someone is to trust them, and sometimes you find out you can't.
