she wore a flowing swirley red coat, it was very fancy and so long that it nearly, but not quite, covered the red sweatpants she wore underneath.
i started to load my merchandise onto the belt. more plates for mom, cheese, crackers, reeses peanut butter cups, dayquil, you know the usual. the old woman hobbled over [...]

i just had to cancel my dinner plans with iwilldare.com reader and frequent commenter, charles. i am super pissed. why? because i have a motherfucking cold. why do i have a cold? because one of my coworkers was sick all this week and wouldn’t fucking go home. so now i’m sick and it’s the weekend. [...]

jeff doesn’t seem to understand why i’m sad about next week’s last class. it makes me sad because after class, jeff goes back to being just another cyberguy and i really liked having him be a real person in my life. i need more real people in my life, i guess and losing one just [...]

so i met the man, the myth, the slacker. it was so much fun. we just chatty chat chatted for hours. i was afraid his ears were going to fall off. it was great. i love making new friends. lucky for him he gets to see me every week now for like the next 12 [...]

today i had lunch with the delightfully delightful darlingchuck, a genuine mad scientist. it was so fun! because, well, i’ve never met a real, live mad scientist before. i’ve met really weird scientists, and really boring scientists, but never a mad scientist.
it was just so weird, but in the fascinating, so unlike me way. i [...]

well, i’m off to lunch with darlingchuck. i think driving 80 down 1-94 will do me good. expect a full report upon my return.

haha! i am off to lunch with andrea, paige and goddess. envy me my glamorous internet lifestyle.

if i am on vacation, why in the hell am i so damn tired? i should be brimming with energy. instead, i sit here and ponder taking a nap. it’s like i am some 84-year-old woman who needs to catch so shut-eye so she can make it through dinner without napping in her creamed spinach.
thus [...]

today might just have been the most perfect summer day in the entire world. i am not just saying that because it happened to me either.
we went to the zoo. we looked at meerkats (and they didn’t sing “hakuna matata” like in the disney films). i petted a chincilla and a blue-tongued skink. not a [...]

so, we went to the mall of hell today and actually it wasn’t so bad. i have come to the conclusion that women who shop at the mall of hell are about the worst dressers on the face of the planet. really, they are not conscious of their bodies at all. even the big girls [...]

what kind of strange interplanetary law is working here today? i can sit for months without my phone ringing a single time on a saturday. months. i am not even exaggerating. but now, that i have something to do, someone to hang out with. . . it rings off the damn hook. i just don’t [...]

my shoulders are in knots. i am coiled tight, a spring waiting to pop. my vacation could not come at a better time. my work ethic rating has slid into negative numbers. i don’t think i’ve done much of anything in the past week. but the launch went off with only a small hitch. yay!
the [...]

andrea’s take on the lunch date. she called me radiant. i still think schlumpy is more accurate.

lunch with paige and andrea was utterly delightful. paige is goergous. if she wasn’t so friendly, i’d probably have to hate her. that’s what schlumpy girls like me do, we hate the pretty ones because we are so damn jealous.
then of course there is andrea. she strikes me as one of those women who [...]

the evil munchkin has been giving me unending shit about going out to lunch with his girlfriend and paige tomorrow. he’s jealous. i suppose it doesn’t help that i keep telling him i am going to steal andrea away. see, the evil munchkin (hence for known as tem) have been trying on and off to [...]
