I did my taxes online the other night. I'm getting $1,022 back. Yay ( Read more... )

When you're on a crowded, rush hour brown line train, it's best to hold the poles instead of leaning against them or wrapping yourself around them. Oh, and when someone needs to get off, if you're one of the people leaning against that little "wall" by the door, step off the train. Just a thought, assholes ( Read more... )

Dream #1, the weirdest dream I can remember having in quite some time: Don't ask me how we met, but Mel Gibson and I started dating.

Saturday night Scott and I went to a wine tasting party. Bry and Rebecca got there late. She and I clung together, scared of all the strangers, so I found out ( Read more... )

I just found out that one of my best friends is having a baby. Well, he isn't, his girlfriend is. She's my friend too, but through him. I'm feeling really freaked out about it with no reason to feel so affected. Like I'm really freaked out. They're excited about it (at least he is). I know they'll be great parents and everything ( Read more... )

Right now I'm warm, and it apparently isn't warm in the office. I almost brought my thermometer with me to work but I didn't. FUCK ( Read more... )

I spent all weekend on the futon dying of the flu/cold going around ( Read more... )
