So I've been wondering why I've felt so upbeat today despite going to a memorial service for my old big boss who died last week of a massive heart attack at the age of 46 (also the boss who I had a big crush on when I started my job, if you recall), especially since I cried my eyes out through the whole service. And I just realized that it's ( Read more... )

Guys. Guys. I really like Nicki Minaj. Who would have guessed?!

Also, lololololol, this video!

I just got startled by the sound of my own breathing. Nice.

I'm so fucking easy. A coworker who I'm friendly with rubbed my arm and played with my hair today so now I'm all giggly towards her. Also she said "Goodbye, lovely!" to me as she left and seriously, winning my affection should not be this simple. Braaaain you are ridiculous.

In other news I have a new frilly skirt and lace top and a shiny dress and ( Read more... )

Omgggggg, I went to the huge used book store across from work and look at my receipt:

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1. Songs…I have one song or another in my head pretty much all of the time. Recently the tracklist has been heavy on Tori Amos (when you gonna make up your mind? / when you gonna love you as much as I do?) and Florence and the Machine. (bring your buckets by the dozen / bring your nieces and your ( Read more... )

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now. (some LJ, some rl)

1. I’ve never understood why you like me but I’m so glad you do; I’ve always been surprised and touched by your regard. I just wish I was better at relating to you.
2. I really wish I had gotten to know you and your wife better… in the biblical sense. Goddamn I ( Read more... )

So I finally have an actual plan for the near future now. I have a plane ticket booked to Providence, RI for the 27th, where my grandmother will pick me up and I'll stay with her in Massachusetts for a week or so. Then we're going to drive down to my mother's new house in Virginia (she works in DC) where I will with any luck get a job and save up ( Read more... )

Tired of c_dub (a high school nickname), now named after a poet from a book of poetry (Poetry My Arse) who I aspire to be like. Or think like, at least; probably shouldn't attempt to emulate poor poem-smitten, moneytrouble Ace. My first tattoo is going to be something from that book, though I can never settle on what. Perhaps "I am half-way to ( Read more... )

So I'm pretty sure I'm going to change the name of this journal...

Yep.

eta: Another customer remarked on my accent the other day. Said I sounded Irish. This is the fourth time a customer's mentioned it ("Oh, and where are you from?" "San Diego." "...that's...not what I would have guessed.") and I am flummoxed as to how I could sing "if you're happy ( Read more... )
