anything

today i had a friend and co-worker who was asked for help by a homeless person, so she was nice enough to set down her things and pull out her wallet.

as she reached in to pull out some money, he snatched her wallet, glared at her directly in her eyes, and ran away with her and her roommates' rent money.

couple this with the fact that another friend/coworker who has a sister (featured on Monster House) who was just diagnosed with "treatable" cancer, and another friend/coworker who has recently been featured in rolling stone for all of the wrong reasons, and every day I go in to work in a twenty foot radius of shuddering.

it makes it hard to stay happy about the sudden lack of drama in my life. yet i still go in and i make them laugh at least a few times every day. at least it makes me feel better about their respective situations.

today, about five minutes before I left work, another of my coworkers came up behind me and commanded me to make a tiny little wish. so i closed my eyes, i thought about it, and i did. when i opened my eyes, she pulled out a three inch silver wand with a star on the end, dipped it in a tiny little bag of glitter, and bopped me on the forehead with it, spattering glitter all over me face and clothes.

"wish granted."
