Wait a second, those are just fancy scales!

MMM and I went to a fish fry today.  Oh Lent, how I love your fried fish.  Although, I do hate the smell sticking to my very being.  Also, the price tag attached is not my fav.

I have so very much to tell you all about, but I am rather reluctant to relate it all via blogger.  Much as I love you, blogger, you are merely not an adequate substitute.

In other news, Awkward!Toby has taken to constantly encouraging me.  Apparently at some point I used the phrase "I suck at life" when having a moderate difficulty.  He has taken it upon himself as a personal charge to point-out whenever I do something well.  This is actually quite sweet, except he says things like "See, this is an excellent example of how you are good at life."  Kind of odd.  Awkward, even...

In exciting news, FavCousin asked me to come see his piano recital on the 27th!  He's sooooooo effing good.  I am waaaaaay excited.  What, do we think, is an appropriate "I am so proud of you/ You are effing amazing and rock my socks/ You're my fav cous who is awesome" gift?  He's a vegan...plays piano...loves France...any genius ideas?  If not, I'm going with a fifth of something nice (he's 19).

Aussie = Best Cousin EVER!!!!1

Eureka!

I vote for someone being my friend in a big city on St. Patty's Day!!!!!!  Or the weekend before!!!!  Or the weekend after!!!!!  Because there would be lots of beer and people to purchase it for us and this:






!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's you must go and I must bide.

By the time I got home from choir, I just caught the end of this.  I am glad that they posted it.

Hee.

MMM and I went for free pancakes at IHOP.  She judged me for eating Ice Cream for lunch and pancakes for dinner.  Due to this judging, I order sausage to go with my pancakes.

I hate pig products.

Also, she thinks that my allergic reactions are all mental.  And that I am crazy.  And that I am depressed. . .or have mono.  I  finally confessed that I was carrying Awkward!Toby's child and that John had given me mono and my life is in pieces and I need another reason to be so damned sleepy.

She then proceeded to get distracted by something shiny.

In other news, I need a vacation.  Like, it's clear that I just need to get away from shenanigans and breathe.  I don't know if I need a with people vacation or a not with people vacation, though I am inclined to think the former.

"Because that's just how I roll."

Dear Hugh Jackman,

I love you.

Let me count the ways, as seen in the Academy Awards.

1.  I'm going to do an opening anyway, becuase that's just how I roll.
2.  You sing pretty
3.  You can sweep me off my feet any day and take me on stage without a head's up.
4.  "Seriously, say anything you want.  We're on a 70 second delay, but if you win, we're going to a 20 minute delay."
5.  Oh you are classy, not just crazy hot.
6.  Please wear a tuxedo every day.
7.  You put on your top hat
8.  You said "please" when you asked for your stairs.
9.  I'm putting on my top hat
10.  You're not afraid to share the stage.  Feel free to pick me next time.
11.  Doubt: The Musical.
12.  The musical is back.  Feel free to star in all of them.
13.  You know that action is "the cool stuff"
14.  Oh, that accent.
15.  It's 11pm and I should go to bed, but I just can't stand the thought of missing another appearance of YOU.
16.  Your hair is so bouncy!  And fluffy!  I would watch the Academy Awards any time...so long as you host them.

Love,
~me!

Dear Microsoft Word;

I hate you.

I wanted to include this sentence in my paper: "As alluded to earlier, chat reference is now an available service."

I know, not the best sentence in the history of the world, but I don't care about this class.  How does this lead me to have a problem with you, Microsoft Word?

Let me tell you.

You green-squiggely underlined the word "alluded".  This means that you have found a grammatical error.  As an odebient user, I right clicked to see what your problem was.  Your resolution was for me to change "alluded" to "eluded."  Okay, I'll look it up, but for now I'll change it to make you happy.

Then, I hated you.

After I did what you asked, you green-squiggely underlined "eluded."  What the fuck, Microsoft Word?  What. the. Fuck.

Please get your shit together so that you can actually help me.

Love,
~me

Is it just me, or does the little Oscar guy look like Iron Man?



Guys! I am super excited!

Super. Excited.

Also...I am becoming alarmed by how much I am sleeping. This
week's totals:
Sunday night: 9 hours
Monday night: 8 hours
Tuesday night: 9 hours
Wednesday: 6 hour nap; 12 hours over night
Thursday night: 7 hours
Friday night: 12 hours

Just a year ago I was sleeping an average of 6 hours a night and 
functioning properly.

Ugh.

Someone fix it. I am sleeping so much I am behind on homework. I somehow learned a magical trick where I don't heed my alarm unless it is to go to work. I'm so tricksy.

You guys!

MMM cannot spell Walle.  It is sad.  She tried "wally" and then "wallie".  I shook my head in disdain.

Pomme, where are you?  Let's be friends.

Toi. . .let's be friends who do homework together and then watch West Wing or Doctor Who.

Moi.  When am I coming to visit you?  Cause it feels like never.

I went to the Dragon Room today.  It was Dien's birthday.  Haven't seen him in a loooooooong time.  What a fun friend.  He paid for everybody's everything.  It was super nice of him, though most of us objected as it was *his* birthday.  Small details.

In other news, Saki is my friend.

Dear BBC,

Please stop taunting me with videos on your website that I cannot watch in my area.  It is mean.

I would hate you forever if it weren't for YouTube.

Also, the Eleventh Doctor better be less creepy when he's acting.

In the meantime, I shall savor this.



Regards,
~me

Breathe. . .

I stumbled across this.  It makes me happy.  



I accidentally slept for 6 hours this afternoon.  Whoops.

Is there something wrong with me, do we think?  I seem to be quite sleep deprived as of late.

To draw out the contents of; to drain

Longest day of my life.  No joke.  Being closed on a Monday is bad for my health.  It is painful.  It hurts me.  Stupid All Staff In-Service.

Of course, BestBossEVER! trusts me too much or something, so I got the hard job of digging us out this morning by checking in seriously like...oh my God I don't even want to think about how many things.  Too many things.  I was exhausted by 11 and then I had lunch a little after noon because BestBossEVER! was looking out and got my desk time covered so I could cram food into my mouth.  Then I was all happy and bubbly and bouncy again, though a bit tired.  Then I worked really really hard again in the afternoon and then GRPatronhater was mean to me.  And then I just wanted to curl up into a ball and go to sleep or cry or cry until I fell asleep.  But I was still at work, so none of these were real life options.

BestBossEVER! took a picture of the R2D2 cake and emailed it to FakeMom!  She though it was really cool (she did! for realsies!  It says so on my Facebook wall!  That makes it divine truth).

So 5 rolls around and I stuck around at place of work to do homework (I found 3 articles and wrote 2 pages of a paper...that I will have to rewrite, I am sure).  Why on Earth would I do this?  Well, I had choir 2 minutes away from work at 7:30...so there is no point in driving home to turn around and drive back.

I had these for dinner.  Yumm!

And now I am blogging and am about to hit "Publish Post" close Eleanor and proceed to fall into a dead sleep.

Good night!
