Randomness here--

Um, is anyone out there a fan of Marshall Crenshaw? And, if you are, do you have the Miracle of Science cd? I'm about dying to get my hot little hands on Twenty-Five Forty-One and the only thing I've found on the 'net are streaming versions, which is not really helping much

It's official...I'm once again gainfully employed. The offer came about 45 minutes ago, and I start back to work on Jan 10.

I'm excited *and* sad. I've really enjoyed the time off and the lack of work-related stress but it'll be interesting to have something to do every day again

I've been a bum these last couple of days, guys...sorry about that.

Not much better today, really...oops.

Perpetually pledged pictures posted...as promised

We had Christmas at my brother's house this year. I like it better at my mom's, but no one asked me. Nor did anyone ask if I wanted to forego a traditional Christmas ham dinner in favor of my sister-in-law's vile lasagna, either,...

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Hope all your holidays are happy.

I'll put up pictures of our unbelievable Christmas afterI get home...y'all will think we're nuts, but everyone in my family tends to go a little bit wild at Christmas

A holiday wish for you all, in the form of my second favorite Christmas song:

Merry Christmas Eve


(it would be my favorite Christmas song, but can you ever really replace Holly Jolly Christmas as number one? I THINK NOT!)

Christmas presents--wrapped and transported to my brother's house, awaiting the grand event on Sunday.

Naked--the space under my Christmas tree where all the wrapped presents lived until 30 minutes ago.

Sad--how the naked space looks.

Procrastination--the reason why I will have more presents under my tree tonight anyway

I am feeling EXTREME LEVELS OF STRESS today.

People who have not contributed to the stress:

everyone who has not made my telephone ring
my sister, for hauling me around without a complaint--and bringing me lunch (although she has called me, three times in the past 90 minutes, which is slowly taking away from the lunch credit)
my sister in law, who for once in...

Happy winter solstice

I'm almost done wrapping presents. Man, I've done a ton of that today. My friend Tree brought all his gifts over today, too. I always wrap his gifts because he is simply physically incapable of doing it himself

I only have about...10 or so left. And tomorrow I'm making peanut butter fudge and maybe some Chex mix. I'm finally getting close to...

Hello darlings

The voice stress analysis went about as I expected it to. I was *extremely* nervous, but the questions turned out to be half extremely banal and half nerve-wracking, and they were all mixed up. Sort of like "Are you wearing shoes?" followed by "Have you ever been initiated into, or supported, a gang or anti-government group?"

Apparently I passed, as I have never...

I've become friends with a couple of guys in England recently, due in no small part to the magic of this here Internet. I talk to both of them almost every day at some point. Now T. is offline and wants me to call him while he's gone because he says he'll miss me. Have y'all tried calling Gloucestershire recently?!? If I actually do call,...

internet conversation between friends:

boy: I'm going to be out of touch for a few days. I'm moving. Unless you want my phone number...
girl: hey, that'd be great. I'd miss you after not being teased for a few days otherwise.
boy: (does not respond. At all)

This is a just a plain, regular friendship. No sexual subtext, just two people who like to talk...he's...
