I AM VERY BUSY AT THE MOMENT. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.

WHY AM I AWAKE AT 4 AM WHEN MY ALARM CLOCK WON'T GO OFF FOR ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF?? THIS BITES!

HANGNAIL!

ALSO I HAVE NINE MILLION ERRANDS TO RUN IN THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON AND BRODONLEY, WHO WILL HAVE THE CAR, DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HIS CLASS ENDS! "ELEVENISH, OR, LIKE, MAYBE, ONEISH" ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH, MR. I'M-IN-COLLEGE-NOW!

AND MY SUITCASE'S LOCK, PHYSICALLY ATTACHED TO THE FRAME OF THE BAG BY THE BAG MANUFACTURERS, IS UNRESETABLE AND I THINK I'VE ALREADY SET THE COMBINATION AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NOW aside from purchase another lock.

I CAN'T REALLY SHOUT - I CAN HARDLY EVEN SPEAK. IT JUST HURTS TOO FUCKING MUCH. I HAD MY TONSILS REMOVED YESTERDAY AND I'M IN ALL SORTS OF PHYSICAL PAIN RIGHT NOW.

BUT HEY, AT LEAST I'M HOME NOW. THIS MAKES IT ALL MUCH EASIER TO BEAR.

THERE IS A PALMETTO BUG IN MY DORM ROOM!! IT'S REALLY GROSS! IT CRAWLED UNDER MY BOOKSHELF, AND I TAPED THE BOOKSHELF TO THE FLOOR, SO HOPEFULLY IT'S TRAPPED UNDER THERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO ABOUT IT TOMORROW!

ALSO, ANOTHER NAME FOR THE PALMETTO BUG IS GIANT, INVINCIBLE FLYING COCKROACH, IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR.

No, see, unsurprising, what you want to do is link to some images of a palmetto bug, so people will really understand what you're dealing with. *lived in Florida for ten years*

Sinus headache making it hard to shout. Still and all I'm quietly annoyed at waking at 430AM with a headache that makes you wanna cry it hurts so much. Boo.

WHAT IS WITH ALL THE SINUS HEADACHES? IS IT SINUS HEADACHE SEASON? THE THE SINUS HEADACHE FAIRY DESCEND UPON THE LAND, FILLING BACK ORDERS? I REALLY DON'T ENJOY MY EARS POPPING EVERY TIME I GET UP OUT OF MY CHAIR. I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO BREATH THROUGH MY NOSE!

OH BUGGER. I JUST REALIZED IT WILL TAKE DAYS BEFORE I CAN EAT PROPER FOOD AGAIN. NEVER BEFORE HAVE I CRAVED FOR A SANDWICH SO BADLY.

I WENT TO THE KITCHEN AND FOUND THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE LAST 12 HOURS ONE OF THE KIDS TURNED THE REFRIGERATOR OFF. AWESOME!!!1 BANNER TUESDAY.

I AM GOING TO DIE. OR AT LEAST GET FIRED. =(

I HAVE A HORRIBLE COLD AND JUST WANT TO CURL UP IN A BALL. BUT WORK IS QUIET, I HAVE SOME GINGER BEER, THE AFRICAN QUEEN ON DVD, A SOFA AND A CAT, SO THINGS AIN'T SO BAD.

Daniel Charms, you poor thing! I hope you find some nice liquid food for now. Are you allowed ice cream?

MY DAMNED FLIGHT GOT IN AROUND 1:00AM and MY DAMN CAT WOKE ME UP AT 5:00AM. AND I HAVE TO PACK TO MOVE IN TWO WEEKS!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH COCKROACHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

altolinguistic: Yeah. It's mostly ice cream and yoghurt right now. I never realized ice cream could be so comforting.

*curls up in a ball as well*

I WOKE UP EARLY SO I COULD STILL HAVE SOME HOPE OF FINDING A DECENT PARKING SPACE WHEN I GOT TO CAMPUS.

I DUNNO IF IT WAS WORTH IT. I'M SITTING IN LECTURE TOTALLY NOT BEING ABLE TO FOCUS AND I'M ONLY NOT ASLEEP BECAUSE I HAVE THE INTERNET TO POKE AROUND ON.

I HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK. I WISH ALL WEEKENDS WERE 3 DAYS LONG.

BUT CAN'T STOP HITTING REFRESH ON MEFI PALIN THREAD.

Aww, now the dog is all buckets of loves and cuddles first thing in the morning. Makes me almost forget the three loads of laundry I still have going because of her.

FEEL BETTER SOON DANIEL AND RICHAT!

SINUS HEADACHES BROUGHT ON BY TROP STORM FAY HAVE SUBSIDED THANKFULLY. NOW WE GET TO WORRY ABOUT HANNA.

I HAD A CLIENT I SPENT 2 HOURS WITH AND WHEN I LEFT ALL SEEMED GOOD TO GO ON A DESIGN AND THEN SHE BAILED THE NEXT DAY. FUCKITY FUCK. ALSO, THE STORE I KEEP TRYING TO PARTNER WITH TO DO AN IN-STORE DEMO & EXCHANGE CUSTOMERS WITH PUT ME OFF B/C THEY FUCKED UP THEIR SHELVING ORDER AND NOW HAVE TO REDO THE ENTIRE STORE FOR THE ONSET OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO BEAT WITH MY DEMO AND NOW THEY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL FUCKING JANUARY WHEN NO ONE WILL HAVE ANY MONEY OR DESIRE TO REMODEL THEIR KITCHEN OR BATHROOM. MORE FUCKITY FUCK. ONE SMALL CLIENT, MASSIVE DEBT. FREAKING. OUT.

WHY DO PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD FIND IT SO DIFFICULT AND TROUBLING TO LEASH THEIR DOGS WHEN THEY ARE OUT IN PUBLIC??? AS FUN AS IT IS TRYING TO PROTECT MY TWO TINY, LEASHED CHIHUAHUAS FROM HUGE RABID DOGS WHO ARE CHASING THEM AT FULL SPEED WHEN I'M OUT ON A WALK, IT IS A LITTLE ANNOYING THAT EVERY WALK IS TURNING INTO AN ADVENTURE MOVIE. AND TO THE THE LADY WHO FINALLY CALLED HER DOG OFF, AND THEN SAID TO ME, ONLY, "HE DIDN'T BITE YOUR DOGS DID HE?", HOW DIFFICULT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO ALSO THROW IN AN "I'M SORRY"?

YAY FOR SHOUTING THREAD GOOD IDEA!!!111!!!

THE SALVATION ARMY TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM TOLD ALL THE KIDS THAT THEY WOULD MOVE IN AROUND JULY 15, AND THAT THEY HAD TO EMANCIPATE BY JULY 15.

BEFORE SALVATION ARMY WE WERE ON THE LIST FOR TWO OTHER HOUSING PROGRAMS BUT WE DROPPED OFF THEM BECAUSE WE HAD A DEAL WITH SALVATION ARMY.

SO 27 KIDS INCLUDING MINE EMANCIPATED AND NOW THERE IS SOME KIND OF CONTRACT DISPUTE BETWEEN THE SALVATION ARMY AND THE CITY. THE MOVE-IN DATE WAS MOVED TO AUGUST, AND NOW THERE IS NO MOVE-IN DATE AT ALL.

I WAS AT THE END OF MY ROPE AND MY LAST NERVE, JUST TRYING TO HANG ON UNTIL JULY 15. NOW IT'S "WHENEVER" PLUS NO MONEY COMING IN (THOUGH THE MONEY'S NOT THE ISSUE). CHRIS IS REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD TO LIVE WITH.

I PROMISED EILEEN THAT CHRIS WOULD MOVE OUT THIS SUMMER. AND THAT SHE COULD MOVE INTO HIS ROOM.

I HAVE NOT HAD A VACATION IN 2 1/2 YEARS.

MY PARENTS ARE COMING TOMORROW (FOR TEN DAYS) AND I HAVE ELEVENTY-ZILLION THINGS TO DO. ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS BILL-RELATED AND IT MAKES ME JITTERY AND ANXIOUS. I HATE BILL-RELATED STUFF.

WHY DID I WAKE UP WITH MY LEFT KNUCKLES ALL BLOODY AND SMELLING OF VINEGAR YESTERDAY?!

GODDAMMIT EVERYTIME HEWLETT-PACKARD RELEASES A GODDAMN UPDATE IT B0RKS THE EVERLOVIN' SHIT OUT OF THIS USELESS ALL-IN-ONE THAT I NEVERTHELESS MUST USE ON A DAILY, NAY, HOURLY BASIS, SPECIFICALLY FOR SCANS. AND THE ENDLESS STATE OF SCANNER B0RKAGE IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE FREAKING IT NANNY COLLECTIVE AT WORK WON'T BLOODY WHITELIST HP'S AUTOMATIC UPDATE DRIVER, WHICH IS, LIKE, THE BIGGEST SINGLE PAIN IN EVERYONE'S ASS THAT USES OUTPUT DEVICES AT THIS SITE. FUCKITY FUCK INDEED, DESPITE THAT I HATE HEWLETT PACKARD AND THEIR SHITTY MACHINES AND THEIR NEFARIOUS UPDATE-RIDDLED BLOATWARE WITH THE FLAMING PASSION OF A THOUSAND BLISTERING WHITE-HOT SUNS, YOU'D THINK THE NINNIES IN THE IT DEPT WOULD GET THE PICTURE AND MAKE THEIR JOBS THAT MUCH EASIER? BUT NOOOOO, THEY WANT TO MAKE US ALL SUFFER. FUCK THEM ALL, I SAY, AND THE HORSE THEY RODE IN ON. OH AND THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR WINDOWS, JUST ON PRINCIPLE.

GRAAAAAAAAGH!!

BORK! BORK! BORK!

I AM SO GODDAMN LONELY. FIVE MINUTES AFTER A FRIEND LEAVES MY HOUSE, I'M LONELY AGAIN. CHATTING ON THE INTERNET, I'M LONELY. RIGHT AFTER HANGING UP THE PHONE WITH MY STUPID MOVED AWAY TO BERKELEY BOYFRIEND, I'M LONELY. WHY CAN'T I ENJOY BEING ALONE?

I WANT TO BE LYING IN BED WATCHING THE WEST WING AND EATING CHOCOLATE WITHOUT GAINING ANY WEIGHT OR GETTING PIMPLES - INSTEAD I AM HAVING TO CONTACT HUNDREDS OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANISATIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE GETTING OUR INFORMATION. WHY CAN'T I BE AT HOME INSTEAD? WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP CALLING PEOPLE?

I ALSO HAVE TO GO TO SOMEONE'S 30TH ON THE WEEKEND, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO GET HIM, AND MOST EVERYONE THERE THAT I KNOW (INCLUDING THE PERSON) I'VE HAD MAJOR FIGHTS WITH, OR JUST DON'T LIKE. AN EX IS GOING TO BE THERE, AND HE'S A FUCKING JERK - LAST TIME I SPOKE TO HIM I TOLD HIM HOW UPSET I WAS BECAUSE MY MUM HAD JUST NEARLY DIED - HIS RESPONSE WAS TO TELL ME I'M MANIPULATIVE AND A BITCH. HE STILL TRIES TO FLIRT WITH ME, TELLING ME I'VE GOT A GREAT RACK, AND ASKS WHO GETS TO PLAY WITH THOSE "PUPPIES" THESE DAYS.

ANSWER - PRACTICALLY ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS PLANET BUT HIM.

AND YES - THEY ARE GREAT, BUT YOU DON'T GET TO LOOK ANY MORE, LITTLE MAN!

I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO NY!!! THE CONDO BOARD MEETING IS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS MONTH AND I MAY WELL HAVE TO FACE THE VULTURE WHO BOUGHT THE PENTHOUSE (IF, OF COURSE HE HASN'T FOBBED OFF HIS RESPONSIBILITY ON THE BUILDING'S OWNER THE WAY THE SPOLIED RETAIL PRINCE DID). THERE WAS A STRUCTURE OF STEEL BEAMS OVER MY BEDROOM WHEN I CAME BACK FROM SWITZERLAND. THE BUILDING ISN'T LANDMARKED SO HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE FUCKING WANTS I WANT TO ASK HIM IF THE PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED HIS PARTY HAD SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR FINGERS THAT MADE THEM INCAPABLE OF PUSHING THE BUTTON FOR HIS FLOOR.ONCE THE PLACE IS MADE FIT TO LIVE I'M SELLING IT.

IF MCCAIN WINS I'M MOVING TO LONDON FOR THE DURATION. I JUST HOPE THAT THERE ARE FUNDIES WHO REALIZE THAT THIS ELECTION NEEDS TO BE ABOUT WHO IS MOST CAPABLE OF HELPING TO END WWIII AND NOT ABOUT ABORTION. WOMEN WILL STILL GET THEM IF IT'S ILLEGAL AND BE MORE PRONE TO DYING AND INFERTILITY. I WAS THINKING ABOUT JUNO AGAIN TODAY. THE FATHER AND STEPMOTHER SEEMED LIKE THE SORT WHO WOULD HAVE TAKEN UP THE SLACK FROM "ABSTINENCE ONLY" SEX-ED AND TAUGHT HER ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL INSTEAD OF POUNDING IT IN THAT EXTRAMARITAL SEX IS A SIN AND SHE WOULD GO TO HELL IF SHE ENGAGED IN IT.


I'VE SEEN A LOT OF HANG-UP PHONE CALLS FROM RESTICTED NUMBERS ON MY CELLPHONE AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TELEMARKETERS OR MY MOTHER. SHE TURNED 65 TODAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT I WANT NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH HER.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO SHUT UP WHEN MEMBERS OF MEFI/CHA ARE PHYSICALLY LOUTISH TOWARDS ME OR OTHERS WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT AND I DON'T FUCKING LIKE IT!!!!!

Um, what, brujita?

I HAVE THE DAY OFF AND MY BF DECIDED TO WORK FROM HOME. NOW I MUST GIVE MY LOLLING/POTTERING SOME SEMBLANCE OF PRODUCTIVITY, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE. BAH - I WANT UNRESTRICTED LOLLING/POTTERING! AND DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN I OPEN THE WINDOW - YOU HAVE AN AIRLESS BASEMENT OFFICE SITING PERFECTLY EMPTY RIGHT NOW IN WHICH YOU COULD HAVE ALL THE AIRLESSNESS YOU WANT AND TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE ENVIRONMENT, YOU JUST HAVE TO GO THERE!

THE KIDS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL!!!!!!! AND HERE I SIT ON MY BUTT WITH A LIST OF THINGS TO DO..AND I DON'T WANNA DO ANYTHING. MR. V LEAVES FOR A SOLO TRIP TOMORROW - FLYING INTO SOUTH CAROLINA. HELLO HURRICANE HANNAH! PLUS I'M JUST GROUCHY AND I WANT CHOCOLATE. NOW.

Not you, goo. The relevant parties know who they are.

Sure, brujita. I thought it was an odd comment without exposition, and seems like a bit of an insider dig and perhaps better suited to private messages unless there's something you think is pertinent to the site community. Physical loutishness isn't something I can associate with MeCha at all, neither being quiet about it when it occurs. Critical nerd mass, to quote Specklet, is much closer to my experience.
