Company purchased Friday, so there was a bit "welcome to the new digs" thing at work... with beer.

I worked today, and there was beer left. I sit here, 15 minz or so left, drinking a beer. Life is good.

Good point. But still...

Aww, guys... :: blushes ::

mwah!

Sorry to interupt your dialogue, guys . . .

One of my favorite things is clear cool air that shows the color of the stars and that frequently fills the nights at this time of year here. It's late, and the winter constellations are out!

Carry on!

In Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind...one of the sketches used "Changes Come." I'm not kidding...I was freaking out during the show.

Of course, the contrast between the skit (in part a parody of Meredith Baxter & Lifetime movies) and the seriousness of the song was amusing, but I think I'm the only one who got that. But it was really cool nonetheless. I was going to ask someone in the cast about OTR, just out of curiosity, but didn't get a chance. Maybe next time.

(if you're in the Chicago area, you have to see this, it's different than any other kind of theater i've ever seen, but in a good way)

The one person from college that I am actually still in touch with.

I love my new winter coat for a very simple reason: pockets. It has many, many pockets of varying shapes and sizes on the inside and outside of both major layers. Some of them are quite large, with zippers. Others are a bit smaller, with snaps or Velcro. It's the kind of coat in which you can easily lose and find things. Already I've made th discovery of half of a two-hour-old bagel. I can't wait until I start finding money.

Oh, and I love that the guy at the bulk specialty foods store let me taste the items I didn't recognize. Mmmm.

I ADORE lotsa pockets!!

: )

Amen to this. Friday night was remarkably clear, and I saw the Pleiades for the first time in months. Same with Cassiopeia's Chair and Orion. I love Orion! I actually waved at him, I was so excited to see him back in the sky.

friends visiting back to back. yay!!

New Orleans!

People who try to save me.

Libby, Even though, I've never met you, never even said anything to you on this forum, as far as I know, you, are one of my favorite things.

I love your avatars, your stories, and your words in general--plus you look so cute in that picture with the camera over your head. You could save a few people all on your own, you know?



Mark

*tiny voice* Awwww. Thank you.

leaving work early more than twice in one week! hoorah!!

A well placed chuckle.

the sky after a storm (was it this blue before?)

a good story out of a bad situation

Not having to work tonight! (Granted, I have to write a paper and study for a midterm tonight in my so-called "time off," but STILL! I don't work tonight!!!)

Having a girl who I think I've secretly been in love with for over a year tell me that I "should be a model or something." Yeah, it's not the deepest compliment, but still... She also apologized for not driving down to meet me in New York when I was there over a year ago. I know it'll never work out... but it makes me really happy right now anyway.

My laptop is kind of working again!!!!
Oh, and getting to see my best freind and his wife by sure accident as they whiz through town on their way back to BC.

Little birdies singing for all they're worth on my way to breakfast.

Getting to watch the sunrise.

taking a picture worth looking at

My goddamned f***ing paper FINALLY being done, steaming pile of low-level shit that it is. Even a failing grade has to be better than a zero.
Having enough time to do kinda sorta okay on my midterm (I think), despite missing a third of the exam session.
Listening to Imperfection really loudly.
Sisters who will let me borrow their CDs.
Getting an email from my quasi-sister's husband (yay!).
Having an uninterrupted half-hour in which to change out of my work clothes and play guitar. (My precious! How I've missed you!!)
Sunshine.
I am really digging having found my contact lenses. They're the right prescription! And not bent out of shape, or scratched up, or spattered with paint flecks!
The "delete" key for digressions.
Only having taken twenty minutes to make this list. (Trust me, that's more relevant-words-per-minute than I've been able to write all night/morning.)
Grapes!


[Oops.]

Bedtime. After one frickin' long day.

Good night, everybody.

therre have been five thigns that have been moderate to extreme dissapointments in my life recently. Within the last 24 hours, I have had some good news on the front of all of these. MAybe not a total fix to any of the problems, but still, there seems to be hope on the horizen at least.

Cute trainer boy at gym.
Yoga class.
Giving things to people.
The guy at the sandwich shop who chipped in forty cents when I was short.
My sister.
My new toothbrush.

surprising the boys in my lit class by joining in the baseball discussion.

earnest conversations

Sleep. I know comas are really serious, but I bet if I woke up from one, I'd be happy as a clam to have rested for so long.

the fact that, unlike my previous one, my new car does not have any of the following:

-large dents
-duct tape
-random dinging noises
-chipped paint
-vibration at certain speeds

fiona apple

man, i just love her!

getting bumped up to the next level in the orchard-

yeah! me too! I just noticed I've got more diamonds! Yippeee

Two of the stray cats on campus took tuna out of my hand today. Out of my hand!

Chocolate.
A turtleback mango.
Being damned cute.
Biking home without feeling like I was going to die.
Interesting articles in obscure magazines.
Paychecks.
Aaron comparing Christian television to a porn shop.
Guitar guitar guitar.
Sleep.

I am soooo in trouble if my boss ever finds that.

OK, favorite things:
The fine city I live in.
fall leaves
riding the streetcar, just for the heck of it
being in the middle of a park, needing a rubber band, and finding one on the bench I was sitting on.
walking around my alma mater, just for teh heck of it
feeling something warm and fuzzy at my feet, and finding out it is my cat.

Really, Aaron? With you, I would have thought your feet fit that description without adding a furry, pointy-eared friend to the equation.



Favorite thing: a perfectly turtlebacked mango. I rock, baby! (Thanks, Michelle!)

Oh, no she DIDN'T!!!

You're welcome, Libby!

awww... I haven't been studying in the library lately and the ole' library crew has been asking around to see just what I've been doing...so I decided to appease the masses and study at my old table today...and I just received an IM from one of the 'crew' in which he said, "the library feels so much more comforting when you're here." Now, while I must say that this compliment can be listed among the weirder ones that I've gotten....it does warm my heart...

My theology prof says we can "work something out" if my essay, once graded, turns out to be as bad as I think it is. Yesss.
Chocolate soy milk is tasty.
I managed to look graceful for multiple consecutive seconds in baladi class.
I made it through sign language class without flipping out.
I get to go to sleep now.
You Orchardites are sweet.

Talking out my differences with someone like an adult.
Crisp fall days
cute girl who give me a thank you touch on my arm when I rung the bell on the bus for her stop.

"With only 2 ingredients, this muffin recipe couldn't be easier."

an evening spent in the orchard.

Sam's favorite lullabye: The Poopsmith Song. I guess that Zepplinesque guitar intro soothes her feline nerves.
