Just landed a big and somewhat unexpected promotion. Feeling equal parts terrified and vindicated right now. Yikes/Yay!
Congratulations!!!
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
brenda, woohoo/oh crap!
A reminder just popped up: it's been five years since I moved to Bainbridge. Then as now, it's pouring - though I'm hoping the power stays on.

Brenda! Congratulations - that's awesome.
E is married to my brother's best friend and we worked at the same non-profit briefly in NYC. Former poster or poster in other threads Megan Walker also went to college with you all then, I think.
Very cool! Yes, I think I figured out who Megan Walker was at some point, but I think she was mostly gone by then. I think we knew each other very tangentially in college, too.
It was so random seeing your name next to the couple of college friends e and I had in common on FB. Small effing world, I tell you what.

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

Yay Brenda!
I went to college with people NoiseDesign knows, and it is funny to have overlapping Happy Hour now, even though I never go. I guess not that weird because we both work in theatre, and it is a small world.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My weirdest FB-Buffista overlap is that kat p. knows someone I went to high school with who has a pretty healthy FB network, so I keep seeing online people on his posts.
