Universal Geek Solvent
I get D&D references, and can return them in kind. Or Battlestar Galactica. Or Firefly. Or Harry Potter. Or Star Wars. I've corrected someone on their misspelling of "Wookiee," because it seemed important at the time. I won the calculus award for high school, and went to the regional science fair every year. I was a band geek (tuba, doesn't ( Read more... ) -
Minutiae
In lots of random conversation tonight (since there was no dance, due to no key to open the venue, there was random conversation over Manhattans), a friend dropped the only compelling reason I've ever heard why I would want to be a princess, besides the pretty, pretty clothes. He said, "I think it'd be fascinating to be so wrapped up in the ( Read more... ) -
True, indeed
John: I've just been advised on FB to throw a little New Kids on the Block into my setlist.
Me: Oh! Good call.
John: Definitely. I'm not sure whether I want their "Hanging Tough" phase or their "Step By Step" phase, though.
Me: Oh, "Hanging Tough." Because then you can totally do the dance! And pretend you, as well, are a New Kid!
John: ( Read more... ) -

I'm in the process of getting rid of the clothes that don't fit me anymore, or that I don't want to wear. Actually, I'm getting rid of some things I DO want to wear, because I just have too many clothes. A rather ridiculous amount, actually, and as I sit here and stare at how many I'm giving away, I'm more than a little bit ashamed of myself. ( Read more... ) -

I worked this afternoon, despite the home football game happening at the same time, and mostly served as a guide to the restroom. Not much different from working BEFORE kickoff, only with fewer people wandering through. We actually did get a donation (drunken fans ARE good for something!) and I sold a couple of things, so I guess it wasn't a ( Read more... ) -
Ahhhhh
I couldn't stop dancing tonight. It was great. Part of it (yay!) was because many of the leads wouldn't LET me stop dancing-I often had 2-3 suddenly arrive in a cluster around me at the end of a given song. Part of it was that even on the songs where I didn't have a cluster of leads, I just couldn't stop moving. It was almost like the Seattle ( Read more... ) -
Fun for today
Today there was a family at work with a woman, her older daughter, that daughter's two kids, and another daughter (so, a teenage aunt). The four-year-old boy was autistic, but very high functioning. He was AWESOME. He was wearing khaki shorts, a blue button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a blue/silver striped tie (he picks out his ( Read more... ) -
Things work out sometimes
Today was beautiful. Well, aside from the fact that it was the same temperature here and in Austin, TX today, and I live in Not-Texas for a reason. Dear Sphere-Shaped Sky Inferno, I'm about ready for step outside/burst into flames season to be over now, please. Much love, me ( Read more... ) -
Phone: Dead
My phone wouldn't charge this morning, and turned off from a lack of battery power. I took it to the Sprint store, and found out that it has water damage, so they can't/won't fix it, so I have to buy a new phone. They also told me they can't get my info out of the phone unless it decides to work well enough so I can get it off the screen (this is ( Read more... ) -
Deep sigh of contentment
It's a banner day for entries from this girl! After two rants in one day, despite the fact that one was wee tiny, I needed to post something good. I needed tonight. I craved it. I had good dancing, and finally saw Christabel and the Jons live (it's shameful that I've lived in Knoxville this long without it). I also had a deeply nourishing ( Read more... )
