Today could have gone a lot better. I'll give you the short version. I got called in to work for a sick coworker on my day off, and $594 worth of silks were stolen on my watch. If I'd been more careful it wouldn't have happened, but I am NOT fired, so not being fired is good. I did file my first ever police report, like you do, and next time I see the woman who ripped me off I will catch her in the act, have her arrested, maybe get to yell at her in a couple of different languages and ride a unicorn with or without Neil Patrick Harris.
Anyhoo.
Upon arriving home I got to see pictures from Pennsic AND I got instant messaged by my friend Kendrick. Kendrick is one of those people that you always think is awesome and somehow don't ever get to see as often as you'd like. He's a dj and spins flaming poi (I only have pictures of that on my phone, sorry) and today, after not hearing from him for weeks, totally unsolicited, he wrote me a poem.
i miss your soft touch in the mall
when i'm not looking
you were there
and it was sweat
you held the easter bunny at bay
and you kept santa on a chain
you are the queen of all holidays
This actually makes me tear up a little. I could die right now secure in having met enough kick-ass people to continue on as an optimist.
