Right now I'm ... Janine awesomeness
I really would love to have you guys read it--thanks for wanting to. I feel kind of bad saying I can't do the open reading thing, but if something is available on a website, that's considered the first time it's been published, and I am going to--hope, hope, hope, hope, hope--get it published in book form. It can't be published anyplace else first.Thank you guys!! :)
That's fine Leslie. Get it published and I will read it for sure.
Leslie, I missed that particular segment about book cart routines, but I've heard about them before. They sound like a hoot!
Lurking photoblogs. Or, rather photoTumblrs. It's really addicting. I can't believe it's already 11.
It's 2 am here! I'm working on some writing. :P
I'm curious Nools, what are the photos of?
All sorts of things that will not help me pass the MCATs. That's been the underlying thought the past three hours. Mostly fashion, miscellaneous art, cool buildings/bedrooms, places I'd go for vacation if I had the monies/time, lots and lots of cupcakes that aren't as cute as they hoped to be (but some cute ones, too)....
Before I'm off to bed, one of my favorites:
What can I say? I'm a sucker for happy endings.
Hope is a powerful thing, goodnight.
Great picture. Thanks for sharing, Nools!
Right now I'm sitting at my desk and I'm supposed to be working, but I'm so distracted by Belly's Feed the Tree playing that I'm fantasizing about cranking it up and singing at the top of my lungs and dancing all over the office. My officemates would probably think I'd lost my damn mind if I did.
Thanks for the picture Nools
Heidi, that was awesome, thanks for introducing me to Belly, my silly bird even shut up and enjoyed Feed the Tree. Great way to start my day!
I had requested time off for tomorrow-Friday and was told that as long as I'm done with a team project I was assigned, I can go. I worked dilligently through my lunch break today so I could get everything done. The coworker assigned to my team couldn't make time to meet with me today, and she said she can't meet with me until tomorrow afternoon. So basically now I have to come in and twiddle my thumbs (kidding, I'm sure I'll find plenty to do) until she can make time for me. And, to boot, our entire team has been given these team assignments so we can fix HER mistakes!!! I'm going to have to come in on my requested day off and work all damn day just because she couldn't make time to work with me (even though I've reminded her ofr the past two weeks that I have time off requested for these dates). FML
I think that emotional pain fits into the category that calls for not just one curse word, but many. To her face!
Right now I'm... pawing through a book on my city (meaning the closest city to my home) printed in 1996 to celebrate the city's bicentential. I can be quite the history buff when it comes to someplace that I associate with. It's like a yearbook, with LOTS of pictures of Orville and Wilbur Wright, who clearly would have been voted "most likely to succeed." E-cookie to anyone who knows what city I'm from! (Again, not really... it's just the closest big city, lol.)
Were they from Kittyhawk or the flight was just there? (Or am I just making shit up entirely?)
The flight was there. Hence their state's license plates sometimes say "First in Flight."
They were from Dayton, Ohio. Had a bicycle shop there.
right now i am sleepy. at my office for a couple of days (not continuous) instead of at the job site so i can rest a bit. i have been working at our church's food tent at the county fair monday and tuesday nite washing pots and pans. whew........... work, pots and pans, house work stuff and then to bed around midnight. i need a vacation
Larry gets an e-cookie.0
There is it! ETA: (lol)
I just woke up and I am tired as all get-out.
Have fun, Kev...hope you're making/eating food on a stick.Right now I'm at a coffee shop grading papers and answering email. The last few days have been crazy busy.
I just thought of Kevin, by the way. I was in my car behind a bald dude on a motorcycle on the way here. Kevin, if you were on highway 60 in Grafton, Wisconsin today I was behind you at a stoplight.
But you were going so slow! Stop driving like a grandma.
I'd like to see my grandma with a bald head on a motorcycle--that would be a sight to behold!
is your grandma Sinead o'Conner or Lieutenant Ilia?
I know she isn't Sinead o'Conner and I have no idea who Lieutenat Ilia is, lets just say she's old, her wig fell off and it's highly unlikely she could fit on a motorcycle, much less ride it.
well, that was an inside joke for the TC'ers
Right now I'm eating eleven perfect Methley plums. There's no significance to eleven. They are tiny and delicious. William Carlos Williams was a smart man.
I just dyed my hair and am uploading pictures. I miss having REAL choices in hair color.
I don't think I have ever had a tiny plum, just the regular kind. Are they sweeter?

They're very, very sweet, though the skin is slightly bitter to balance it out.
*giggles*Hey, I was bald once. By choice though. :\ It was amazing.
mine is by choice too. i have been shaving la cabeza for about 13 years. but if i let it grow it is mostly gray
I found my first gray hair this year. My mom is 50 and still doesn't have any gray hairs. Part of me wants to turn gray naturally when I'm older so I can dye it all blue and be a proper blue-haired little old lady. :PI don't think I could shave my head again. I have a really nasty scar that shows. You have a nice shaped head. Ever think of dyeing your beard a color? :P
Wait. Where are these pics, angabel? Let's see 'em.I wouldn't shave my head in part because I think my head shape is weird. I agree, Kevin has a well-shaped head.
edit: I see it on your profile pic! Cool!
I will have to look for those Sarah Pi, sour but sweet sounds refreshing.My husband is lucky I don't shave him. He won't cut it, he thinks it is his youth...As far as coloring hair goes, my daughter has me coloring her hair and now boys come over and I color theirs, with their parents permission of course.Purple, Blue, Black, we are not at a loss for color in this house.
The hair in my profile picture is from a year ago. I had to dye it a "normal" color to go abroad and to get a job. I wish I could access my flickr hair dye photo set so you guys could see all the colors I've done... which is literally all the colors of the rainbow. :PI just dyed it a "dark auburn brown" oh lord, haha.

Yeah, like I'm going to steal from a store. "A girl with pink hair did it!" After a while I think she got more used to it. Once she was waiting outside a store for me and heard some old ladies talking about how awful it was that "her mother let her do that" (I was 22 at the time; I didn't need my mother's permission, although people think I'm a lot younger than I am) and my mom didn't say anything. She waited until I came out and said, "Okay mom, we can go now" just so she could see the expressions on the ladies' faces. :P
College was the perfect time for me to go crazy with hair dye because I didn't have to worry about them expelling me from high school, and I didn't have a proper job that requires "normal" haircolor-- in fact, my hair color actually brought in some business at the dining hall where I worked, and a lot of the parents of prospective students were absolutely tickled when they saw my rainbow hair, especially.
Right now I'm bored out of my mind at the office. Its 8000 degrees outside and 700 degrees inside. My office is toward the front of the building and I cannot even begin to imagine why my broker has not put curtains over these massive windows. I feel much better now. Will feel much, MUCH better when 5 o'clock comes.
right now i am watching the new "shop kitten" play on my desk (no, not talking about some sexy vixen, a real cat). we seem to pick up a stray cat every once in a while and now we have a tiny black kitten who is adorable and very energetic. chases her tail all the time. leaps and claws at nothing and currently scratching her ear on my stapler. man she wants to catch that tail
Right now I'm sitting on the front porch getting ready to write in my journal. I have to be at the middle school to meet the principal at nine. Well, I know him already, but he wants to meet with every incoming student's parents before the school year, which takes a lot of his time and seems pretty cool, at nine. Then we're packing, cleaning, etc. before we head east. So today should be a fairly productive day. Helps that the weather is cool. I've pushed really hard at work so I could get out of town and sitting here this morning I can feel both the exhaustion and the burnout...glad to be here.

Something doesn't have to be the worst thing in the world for it to be scary and horrible.
I used to tell myself that the stuff that happened to me was no big deal because it wasn't nearly as bad as what the people in the Holocaust suffered. But that isn't true. It was a big deal.
