So last night I went to the British Ambassador's house for the Annual Reception for the DC Alums of WM.  I had a fantastic time even though I was rather dreading the going there alone part - funny thing, champagne makes talking to strangers quite easy.  XD  But I met the British Ambassador and his wife along with the Taylor Reveley and the new ( Read more... )

I hate my interim executive director, I just... I really hate him.

He's already done numerous things to me that I can't believe he had the gall to do, but this morning was really awful.

( In which I cuss and rant and cuss some more )

Oh... oh GOD.  DX  I hate my lawn.  I really hate it.

The latest horror of horrors is that my lawn got invaded by Cicada Killer Wasps.  CICADA KILLER WASPS!!!  THEY'RE FUCKING HUGE!!!

So, I did something that I'd been arguing over with my parents for... well over a year.  I got rid of my land line and cable tv.  Because I pretty much don't use them at all and they made me get them.  ^__^  So I pretty much got rid of them and I e-mailed them and told them afterwards.

Bwahahaha~!  XD

I am so ridiculously proud right now.  XD

Okay, I'm just putting this out there, because I'm angry and frustrated.

Tea Partyers are anarchists.  There.  I said it.

I mean, what else am I supposed to think when people say they'd rather the country default on its payments than compromise with the Democrats and even members of their own party?  Do they even have any concept of what that will do ( Read more... )

 Dude, I am so excited like you don't even know.

I'M GOING TO SEE THE DC UNITED V. EVERTON GAME TOMORROW!!!!  XDDDDD

Granted Everton's technically Liverpool's (my favored team) second biggest rival.  (Biggest being Man U.  D:<)  BUT I get to see Tim Howard!!!  Time Howard being the ever so awesome goalkeeper for the US National Team this past ( Read more... )

So.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!!!!!!!!

(Oh, I have my internet back, btw.)

So you know this Eric kid I'd been talking about who's an intern for our office?  Funny thing, our dads actually know each other from the Foreign Service.  And we were in Manila at the exact same time.  Funny.  But... um... it turns out I don't actually like him that much.  He kind of gets on my nerves.  Not for any good reason, he just sort of ( Read more... )
