No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I went to Trader Joe's. It's opening day. Lines? Out to MARS.

I estimate that fire code was violated -- there must have been 500 people there. Seriously.

I could barely LOOK at products, people were just standing around chatting, like it was a cocktail party, and I refused to stand in line for an hour.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That makes a kind of sense, but I would think a muscle relaxer like the awesome Flexiril would be better.

And yet, when I took Flexeril for my back, it did NOTHING for me. Diazepam is my precious. And you know, you can't say that to a doctor, because they will think you are a junkie. Nay, I say, I simply love shit that does what I need it to do.

Erin, are you mad, going to a TJ's on opening day?! I drove past the new Whole Foods here on opening day and was astounded at the sheer volume of people trying to get in. They actually had a traffic cop in the parking lot! And we've had a Whole Foods in town for years; that was just a new location! Unreal.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, my gut is so much better, which is due in great part to your advice.

That is excellent! I am so glad to hear that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Got into an accident. Wasn't my fault. He was taking a left turn across me, we both had the green, he chose to go while I was still driving. My car looks dinged, his doesn't. I didn't get his number because I didn't want to get into the "I know it's your fault, want me to not involve insurance?" discussion, because I didn't want to have the fault discussion. But he was turning left across me. So, not my fault.

I haven't decided if I want to levy a claim against him. My insurance already agrees I'm blameless.

Mostly my head hurts and I want to lie down.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Blergh, ita. As if you needed things to make your head hurt. Glad it wasn't more serious.

Last week I fell asleep in traffic and rear-ended someone. I didn't really see much damage beyond some barely visible scratches that were already there, for all I knew. We exchanged business cards, but he hasn't contacted me yet, so I'm hoping that by the time he got home, he decided it wasn't worth causing a fuss over. Or he's having his people see how much it costs before he asks me for $700 or whatever.

Because books.

Ugh. Car accidents are always a giant pain in the ass one way or another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uggggh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

oh dear ita, I am against car accidents, even ones that aren't your fault. Always a pain, as Amy notes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

SRSLY

I kind of threw a hissy fit at the IT guy the other day because I was tired of things not working so now I have a new to me rebuilt computer and all my settings are gone and I have a new version of Firefox and now I feel all old and I DON'T LIKE CHANGEy.

It's Friday though! What are people doing this weekend?

I'm going to stretch class and wishing I was going to HP. Not sure when that will happen, need to set up a date night.
