This last week or so has been really hard. I hate to bring down the thread, but it's happening.

-people are assholes to me at work
-i can't even find a freaking match on tinder, hinge, or any other matchmaking apps
-i'm depressed about my birthday for the first time ever. not that i care, 24 is a dumb birthday, but. i love my birthday. but i don't care about it this year.
-hockey is literally going to give me a heart attack and i will die. hopefully not on emily's couch.
-still haven't worked upt he courage to ask for a raise because apparently i hate myself.

that's about it. my birthday is tomorrow, and my brother said he sent a package that should have arrived, but all i got in the mail was a half-assed birthday card from my aunt (she bought it! this is the first non-homemade card i've gotten from her since i was 11).

It will get better. hugs for you. And you deserve a huge raise for all the crap you put up with.

Any idea what your brother sent you?

throwingpens June 12 2015, 01:49:42 UTC

My guess is something from amazon? But NO IDEA. Broski is SO WEIRD but i love him. No idea what he got me. None whatsoever.

owlsaremonsters June 12 2015, 01:57:15 UTC

What has he gotten you in the past?

So work has been really slow the past couple days, Hopefully some editing can come our way the next week, because we're not supposed to charge too much overhead but I have no projects to charge to. Fun!

Also, I feel the entire week I've been wishing people happy birthday : ).

This weekend: Padres and the San Diego County Fair, or as we old folks call it, the Del Mar Fair.

Sounds like a fun weekend! Is the fair the kind of 'typical' county fair with animals and such? Or is it different?

This week definitely feels like Christmas in June.

sullen_aquarian June 12 2015, 02:35:21 UTC

Nope, it's the usual county fair. Animals, lots of fried foods, rides of suspicious safety, carnies, all that good stuff. My favorite exhibit is the one where people show off their collections (e.g., lunchboxes, foreign coins). One time there was a collection that was literally "stuff I found on the ground."

last_empress June 12 2015, 02:58:23 UTC

Ha! I always liked the collection stuff too. I'm trying to remember if I entered anything in that category. Sounds like it'll be fun!

I got super distracted and forgot about the thread for a bit because I was making the paper flowers Allison got me for my birthday. Turns out that I am NOT GREAT at paper flowers, but they came out well enough!

Those are so pretty! Does one have to be a crafter to do such a thing? Could a child with a non-crafter mommy (that would be me) do it?

emilyla June 12 2015, 02:53:52 UTC

They were super easy. The bottoms of the petals are adhesive backed and you basically just have to wrap them around the wire and then fluff them up!

princess_george June 12 2015, 02:59:54 UTC

THAT IS VERY INTERESTING
