Having that not so fresh feeling?

Having to walk through dirty water gushing out of storm drains and sit next to people who smell like hot garbage on the bus really just makes me crave a night in with my Summer's Eve.

Oh yeah. So totally yeah.

it's not like ure my woman

See, I'm picky, so I'd rule him out solely on the basis of "ure" rather than "youre"...I can forgive the occasional "u" instead of "you" or 4 instead of for, but...ure?? (This is, of course, why I'm planning ot get a phone with a full qwerty keyboard, so I can write better texts without taking forever)

I am the uptightest ever on this front. I type every damned word out in a text, ignoring the character limit and my aching thumbs. I am more likely to write "ASAP" on the web and "as soon as possible" in a text message. Oh, and everything is properly capitalised too.

It's possible the chip on my shoulder is somehow also up my butt.

He is (was?) a nice guy otherwise I'd have brushed him off hard a while back, but I do feel genuinely unable to make friends out of acquaintances right now (although existing friends might appreciate me spreading the load a bit...) and was faced with that wall, not knowing how to get past it.

Man, I keep flipping over to Facebook to stare at this picture of the wife of one of the instructors. She's that chick, for values of that for which you have to grudgingly admit she can carry off a piece of fashion you previously thought impossible. She's tiny, hot, and sweet. She has a couple of wedding pics up and I'm freaking mesmerised.

I am ita, only with less deadly pinkies. My 17 year old baby sitter cannot understand why I don't use text shortcuts. It takes me ages to type out my text messages.

It's making me consider a qwerty keyboard phone, too.

This is me and my friend Amy. Properly punctuated too. I also use words that the phone can't guess or spell.

I suck on capitalization mid-sentence, but otherwise I'm right there with you people.

That should maybe be part of a buffista entrance exam.

Me too, though the program is learning.

Very true. It also probably doesn't mean that I'll send a random amount of money to a random address every month.

No. But if, after a few months, your service stopped working, perhaps you'd be able to hypothesize the cause, yes?

My mom sent me some of my favorite mexican pottery from a store in Mesilla . They are like little sake cups or something and have butterflies painted in the bowl and birds around. LOVE. This pottery/dish design is just gorgeous. The larger stuff has all kinds of delicate, elaborate birds in blues and greens. ( Oh, here's some of it : [link] Each piece is different. I go to the store and sort through, picking my favorites, which usually feature just one stylized bird or whatever. It's gonna take me forever to amass any amount of it. )

Also got a cool little cuadrito (they are teeny little detailed prints made from copper etchings, hand painted and enclosed in glass, aluminum with a brass frame), a purple guatemalan chicken potholder, pale yellow glass and grey pearl earrings and a cd with artists I've heard of and liked and I can't wait to listen to it.

I love my mom.
