I dreamt I died last night. Not the first time, likely not the last.

As with most of these dreams, it was not a peaceful, bedridden death of age or disease.

No, no. It was leading a futile battle charge, very much like something out of 300, only, I was American, not Greek, and my opponents were Chinese, not Persian.

Why Chinese? Dunno. I've got ( Read more... )

Many of you know I went to a private, Catholic Girls school for high school. Some of you were even there with me! But, most of you weren't. . .

Well, it turns out that one of the nuns (the schools was attached to a cloistered monastery) there has a blog, and I've added the link over there on the sidebar-------->

I’ve bitched before about the baby-boomers, the generation of Woodstock and endless protests. Usually, when I go into a tear on that generation, I’ve some general ideas in my mind of who it is I’m writing about. Various celebrities, media folk. . . and the mother of a certain friend. This woman is, to my mind, the epitome of everything that is ( Read more... )

My co-worker, we'll call her Ali, is a very ardent atheist. She and I talk quite often, and I think she forgets that I am very much not an atheist, I think because I don't fit her image of an "ardent believer"-- likely, in that I'm not always quoting the Bible, not always talking to her about Jesus, and am, in her words, "very intelligent."  We'll ( Read more... )

2 friends in 2 days.

Is the universe trying to tell me something? (shut up, maggie!)

First, and I will crosspost this from the blog later, I'm talking to Mark again. After. . . years.

And second, I found a classmate from highschool on LJ. Mind you, my class only had 100 some odd girls, so we all knew each other.

Tomorrow . . . Well, if third time's the ( Read more... )

My god, time for an update. So, first off, I got both a promotion and a transfer little over a week ago. This means more hours, more $$ / hour, and no more having to deal with Twat I. It also means dealing with Soon-to-be-Fired Rude-girl, or SFRG for short ( Read more... )
