Word of the Day:
williwaw: (n) 1.a sudden violent gust of cold land air common along mountainous coasts of high latitude 2. a violent commotion
In 1900, Capt. Joshua Slocum described williwaws as "compressed gales of wind...that Boreas handed down over the hills in chunks." To unsuspecting sailors or pilots, such winds might seem to come out of nowhere-- just as the word "williwaw"...

lol...I would agree, but i'm usually the type that needs some sort of social lubrication...like alcohol....to get the puss off of my face when I'm somewhere I don't want to be...hmmm i still have some percs leftover for my knee...i think today calls for a "needed-for-mental health" painkiller 
this kind of occasion, however, (I'm not a COMPLETE cunt) I strap on the sunshine and light and talk toooo much because i'm nervous... and then people can look at me a bit funny from time to time
It was like working in retail management: i considered myself more a paid-actress than a manager.
ALAS!! It is time for me to go (GAHHHH! )...i still need to get the gift and wrap it on the way lol...wish me luck...if you don't hear from me by tomorrow, know that I went peacefully on a bed of percocet
*teehee*
