Okay, I'm done hiding. And I have been hiding. My parents haven't heard from me in a week. My best friend hasn't heard from me in two. (Frankly I worry if I don't hear from her. Last time I talked to her she'd just gotten back from nearly drowning at the lake cuz she'd gotten drunk and passed out on a floating device and drifted off into the middle of the lake.) I don't think bk has heard from me for at least two weeks. My boss has seen me but only because I decided at the last minute that I liked having a paycheck and a roof over my head.
Finished my fic for the dmhg ficexchange. Don't think it's up on the site yet. Took me frickin long enough to finish. I was sooo pissed at myself for being so late. I don't know why I couldn't just settle for writing something short and ironic or something light-hearted and cute. No, I had to write sixty pages of bull-crap that I would have finished earlier except the last two nights in a row I'd had about three-four hours of sleep and when I got home from work I had time to shower and crash before it all started over again.
Spent time with my brother Larry and his girlfriend today. The girlfriend is trying really hard to be all friendly with me and I feel bad for not wanting to take her shopping with me or whatever but I'm not going to get attached to her cuz I have no idea how serious my brother is about her. She seems plenty serious about him but it annoys the hell out of me to see her try and play 'mom' with my nephew (especially since she's my age). Nephew asked her to open his soda bottle for him and she's like 'can I hear a please?' and I'm like 'just open the damn bottle you freak'. Until she actually takes the job I'm not planning on being one of her little friends. Yeah, I'm so bad.
Hightlights of my day:
~The guy behind me in the checkout line of the supermarket was buying eight packages of ramen noodles and a giant vat of hairgel. I thought that was the most awesome grocery list I've ever seen.
~Listening to roomy lie to my nephew. Nephew was all "What's maintenance?" cuz roomy and I were discussing the bastards outside our apartment at six a.m. banging on stuff and roomy was like "It's a horse." Nephew: "Really?" Roomy: "Yeah, a unicorn ridden by a guy in an orange jumper. He rides around and screams obscenities at people." And nephew looked impressed and I was laughing my head off cuz I seriously think we need someone like that. That would be a good government job. Some little jockey with a megaphone riding around on a unicorn screaming obscenities at people.
It sounds like something out of Greek Mythology. The Maintenance: half man, half horse. The maintenance rode about the land cursing everything that crossed its path. Woe to those who encountered the maintenance.
