I chipped a guy's tooth today and nearly started crying because I felt so bad that my clumsy failure at athletics is now hurting other people.  Then, I came home and watched a movie and DID start crying and hugging my cats who were like "personal space, please".  I have work to do and no idea how to do it, and more work to do and no time to do it ( Read more... )

I started re-reading Les Miserables awhile. For certain definitions of "reading".

But the accents are awesome ( Read more... )

I've been reading Rebecca lately and I'm really enjoying it so far. I really feel a connection with the protagonist because she has all this inner awkwardness and fear of interaction that I can relate to so well. For instance, she's in her home and she hears that a car is coming. Rather than, as I hear normal people do, greeting the visitors, ( Read more... )

At work I use this program that records exactly what a user does on a website. It's somehow very comforting to know that I am not the only person that clicks on a link, waits about five seconds, and then starts wildly and rapidly clicking everywhere else on the page before exiting.

1. I'm very frustrated by petty life/Excel difficulties. I'm considering hunting down one of my grandma's stress dolls ( Read more... )

I have problems with heat. Serious, painful problems ( Read more... )
