So, I had been proud of this not being true for quite some time, but my geekery is now firmly established, as a showtune has surpassed a real song for the #1 spot on my iTunes Top 25 Most Played.

Also, sitcom plot is still sitcom like. Retaliation prank #1 will commence tomorrow night.

I think I'm being pursued by two different boys?

And I think I like them both. There are definite pros and cons to each, but the bottom line ending at there are two very nice boys who like me.

This sort of thing just doesn't happen in my life. I'm not used to ever having any boy like me, never mind having options.

Happy Birthday, Little Bit!!! You are one of the coolest people on the entirety of the internet, and you listened to my high school whining far more than anyone ever should have had to. I hope your day is just fantastic!!

My stupid roommate and her equally annoying Chinese boyfriend are watching this absolutely asinine Chinese children's movie about a kid and his friend Panda - and for all the squawking she does about her Chinese is so much better than mine because she studies and whatever, she keeps asking him to pause the movie and explain what's happening...
