friday afternoon interactions

It's cold so I want to sleep long hours.

I'm slaving away for a few more hours yet over FEMA maps drawn by drunk men with compasses and geology degrees. So I turn to the internet for mental sustenance, and steal leftover wedding cake from another bay. One of my coworkers works nights with a catering company and he brought leftover food for us.

Ask me a question you're dying to ask. Ask me to say something nice about you. Ask me to say something mean about the President. Tell me something, anything.

I know it's a slip, but I started laughing hysterically when I saw your typed Gene instead of Alan. Somewhere out there, I hope Gene's ears are burning. :P

I think people were very surprised, especially as I spent much of the year before that summer ranting about how I would never get married. My father thought I was pregnant, and was less than thrilled when I first spoke to him. one of my grandmothers decided not to attend the wedding, for reasons unknown to me. My best friend was pretty upset at the time.

But I think now, it's calmed down. I think the people involved in my life see that it was the right choice and know that deep down despite temporary trials that I am happy.

As for you, I would have to say you have the most wonderful circle of friends about you and so many of them have cuddly, bouncy small babies. Despite your grumpy frumpy inlaws, I think you are blessed with so many good people around you. You're also witty and make smart, sharp remarks from time to time on various subjects that make me reply out loud.

You have no idea how funny that is though. Bwahahah!

Ahh, Rickman. Dear man of my heart, supplanted by another Alan with dark hair and graceful hands. He never did send me an engagement ring, so I had to go with the other Alan. :P

I completely understand that feeling. I suppose your best revenge is living well.

male dolphins have prehensile penises.

Do they really? That is very odd, and must make for acrobatic dolphin sex. I wonder if anyone has written the Dolphin Kama Sutra...

It's a funny thought isn't it?

I want to say happy late anniversary. Hooray!

Question: why did you sell out to the patriarchy and marry? I kid, I jest. How about are you looking for a job better suited to you, if so what? Do you guys plan on moving from Austin anytime soon?

Say something nice about me cause I'm an attention whore and need some love.

Hurrah!

Answer: Because I wanted the absurdly beautiful cake! Bwahahah.

As for the job, I'm emailing my resume around and I've posted it on the local board. Cross my fingers and mass fire resumes, in hopes of finding something new.

You are so neat, because you bounce back from things that cripple other people, and you're still fighitng your way back to your dream homeland and happier times.

At what age did you first become fascinated with FIRE and why?

[identity profile] tsarina.livejournal.com 2004-12-17 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. I think I first became fascinated with fire around age 12, when I doscovered my cheap grocery store "perfume" was flammable, and that it was a lot of fun to pour it across the bathroom counter and set it on FIRE! I just enjoyed the brief burst of heat and light, and the intangible nature of FIRE. IT quickly became an elegant problem solving tool for me.

:D :D :D

The Negam could totally beat the President at a drinking contest, arm wrestling contest, haiku contest, cheese eating contest, or any other contest. :D
