Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! We're back, we're safe, and, as usual, we're tired. We had a really good time, but right at the finish line (about an hour or two away from home), the conversation touched on our Deep Psychological Issues, and our resulting grumpiness has overshadowed all the fun times that were had. It was kind of like ( Read more... )

Well, we have nothing new to say about Kingdom Hearts, so I guess I can explain about this table display stress thing I keep mentioning. See, on Saturday, our stake's having a Relief Society...thing...a conference or something, and the theme is Gifts of the Spirit. The term is sort of synonymous with "talents," so as part of the event, they've ( Read more... )

I was hoping for a little inspiration on something to write about from the Writer's Block question today, but then I remembered that the Writer's Block questions went away. Now I'm a little sad ( Read more... )

The baby shower was pretty much what we expected it to be--long stints of boredom interrupted by the occasional conversation. But since we expected it, we were able to maintain a decent attitude about it, and after it ended, our friend discovered we needed to go grocery shopping and somehow invisibly insisted on taking us. So we got to spend some ( Read more... )

Well, we got back so late and today was so...not-posty...that I was thinking we'd blow LJ off today, but nobody's posted on our friends' list in so long (where "in so long" means "since yesterday") that I'm like, "Well, somebody has to post ( Read more... )

I'm really not sure how to start today's entry, because I'm not sure how much anger I want to express right now. I guess it's not anger so much as stress and frustration. And once again it involves a trip to Disneyland, and I wonder why something that brings so much joy is constantly causing us so much trouble. Of course, it has a lot to do with ( Read more... )

Occasionally...or rather, more frequently than we'd like, we encounter a strange phenomenon that goes like this: We'll be having a conversation with someone, when a third party will arrive and start talking to the other person, who will proceed to act as if we were never there. This happened to us twice last night, and we are not happy about it ( Read more... )

We're not in a good place right now. We have a lot of minor frustrations building up, and it's coming to an exploding point. A friend from church sent us a very friendly email, he mentioned Black Butler, we mentioned watching Chihayafuru on Crunchyroll, he said oh yeah, I like to watch it on YouTube instead of those messy anime sites, and we were ( Read more... )

We have once again proven ourselves effective in eliminating our vacation. Come to think of it, I'm not sure we've ever actually done that before, but it feels like something we've done ( Read more... )

Turns out the guy we had tentative plans with did call, and we were able to cancel them, which was good because we got more work done, but bad because it's so hard to say no to people. It did not help that this morning we got a call from a salesman trying to sell us promotional material for our fictitious business. We bought some really neat pens ( Read more... )
