"man I love you, Sonya. I mean, you're so crazy. I mean, you're not crazy. I mean you are sort of crazy. Like when you start dancing at the service desk or singing to the people you are checking out. That gets a little scary. But you're a little "out there". I think you know that you're a little out there. But that's cool." --Dude at work.

In other news. There are an absurd number of people with birthdays in september. the 21st and 23rd have multiple. There is a 9th, and a 26th. There is a 22nd. Another on the 30th. A few more that I know exist but cannot pin down. What goes on in January that encourages such wanton abandon?
