ARGH! WHEN WILL THE SERVERS BE BACK UP! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DO THE WEEKLY MAINTENANCE ANYWAYS? I NEED TO GET MY GLADIATOR'S MAUL SO I CAN DEAL THE PWNAGE TO THE ALLIES!
WHY DO THE XMAS PARTIES HAVE TO BE SPACED FAR ENOUGH APART TO RUIN SCIENCE? I NEED TO GRADUATE!
I HAVE A BAD COLD. YET I MUST WORK UNTIL 10:00 TONIGHT FOR A DUMB PARTY. I FEEL LIKE SHIT. THIS SUCKS. UNLESS I START FEELING BETTER BY FRIDAY I WON'T BE GOING TO SC NEXT WEEKEND EITHER. AND THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS TO DO AND NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO ANY OF THEM! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I GOT ALL ADRENALINED UP FOR A CONFRONTATION AND THEN THE CONFRONTEE ENDED UP BEING SO STUPID THAT I HAD TO PREMATURELY STOP THE CONFRONTATION BECAUSE IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT MY RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION WAS GOING DIRECTLY OVER HER HEAD AND SO I HAD TO LEAVE IT AT A VERY FIRM COMMAND! BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL SHE WAS CAPABLE OF COMPREHENDING! BUT NOW I'M ALL FULL OF ADRENALINE AND UNEXPRESSED RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION! BAH!
WHEN I WAS FORCED TO LISTEN TO DR. LAURA, BECAUSE I WAS LIVING IN ITALY AND DESPERATE TO HEAR PEOPLE SPEAK ENGLISH, ONE OF HER BIG THINGS WAS THAT YOU WERE NOT *ACTUALLY* ENGAGED UNTIL YOU HAD "A RING AND A DATE." SO SHE WOULD INTERRUPT ANY CALLER WHO SAID "I'M ENGAGED..." AND SHRIEK, "RING AND A DATE???? RING AND A DATE???!?!?!?!"
HEY YOU! YES, YOU, THE ARSEHOLE SITTING ON THE TRAIN ACROSS FROM ME RIGHT THIS MINUTE! SEE ME SITTING ON THE COLD, HARD FLOOR BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FUCKING IGNORANT THAT YOU NOT ONLY BROUGHT YOUR FUCKING BIKE ON A COMMUTER TRAIN THAT IS COMMONLY CALLED THE "BOMBAY EXPRESS" FOR A GOOD REASON, YOU DECIDED THAT IT'S OK FOR YOU TO TAKE UP THREE FUCKING SEATS TO LEAN YOUR STUPID FUCKING BIKE AGAINST. I'LL LET YOU OFF THIS TIME BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU HERE BEFORE AND YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT BIKES ARE PROHIBITED ON TRAINS AT THIS TIME BUT, IF YOU DO IT AGAIN, I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND SHIT DOWN YOUR FUCKING SCRAWNY NECK!
(I guess I never got engaged though, because I never had a ring. Thanks, Dr. Laura.)
MISSKAZ, PEOPLE ARE INSANE ABOUT WEDDINGS. THIS IS PAR FOR THE COURSE. MY ADVICE: SHRUG AND SAY SOMETHING LIKE "HOPEFULLY IN SPRING/SUMMER/AUTUMN" AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. NO, PEOPLE DON'T PICK A DATE IMMEDIATELY.
MY ANNOYING CO-COUNSEL DUMPED A PROJECT ON ME AT THE LAST MINUTE AND IT'S REALLY ANNOYING -- SHE ACTS LIKE I'M HER ASSOCIATE DUE TO HER WEIRD DEFENSIVE ISSUES ABOUT GOD-KNOWS-WHAT!!!!!
MY DOG HAS A SICK DEPENDENCY RELATIONSHIP WITH ME!!!! (And I think it's my strongest relationship -- yikes!!)
