Apparently there's a retirement party for someone today that no one knows.

I leaned that when you're falling asleep by 8:00 for a week, and don't know why, you should listen. I'm sick again. Meh.. I want to go home.

I had to go to work early yesterday for another useless meeting with my boss and psycho-girl, after she blew up at me and said she's tired of my 'games', completely unprovoked, on Wednesday. Nothing changed. Nothing ever will. I found out they were considering cutting back to one typist at one point, but the work is picking up now. Karla insists I've been playing games since the beginning, but refuses to say what or how. I don't know what I could have done to cause one person to hate me so much.

I've heard plenty about the "gay agenda" but I didn't realize there was a transgender agenda too. This is from a warning to parents about Shrek 2.

I got a notification from Where's George today on a dollar bill I submitted three years ago. It's traveled 7.6 miles in that time.

Andrew asked me when he dropped me off at work this morning, "Are you sure you have to work today? It's a holiday." No such luck, but Karla was out sick and that's the next best I can ask for.

Still, at the end of the day I'm exhausted, and I'm still trying to figure out how to put up an 'in hiding' aura without coming off as anti-social.

A strip club in Idaho is getting around nudity laws by having "Art Club Nights". While the article is trying to show a unique way to get around the law, I actually think it's a great idea! I'd go to strip club to sketch dancers... more interesting (and active) than anything we did in art school.

While I'm thinking of it, I should go back to the Wet Spot's life drawing night too.

Ninja in a can

I can't help thinking, 'time to break the printer' when I take out my laptop now.

Now that someone else is reading my archives, I found out that May 2002 is where to go if you want all the good stuff in one quick reading.

I'm wondering if I was guilty myself of ambushing Jason at the door when we lived together, or if I'm just having an unreasonable need of being left alone lately. I don't know where eles to go to recover from work and things.

I tried to warn anyone living with me that I'm both geek and crazy...

k762x51mm: I shall content myself to converse with the parts of you that are here. It'll be fun, like talking to the cheshire cat.

Science explains Why men fall asleep after sex

I must have mis-overheard this one this morning... Karla: "Yeah, I'm fine.. I don't know what to do Rebecca, other than putting her to sleep."

She must be dealing with a sick pet...

I'm surprised this one never comes up when people are discussing the reasons for/against polyamoury. When the next superflu/plague/ebola outbreak happens that wipes out entire populations except for a few hermits, we'll be the first ones to go.

I know this is the real reason Selina and Walker were being so nice, bringing me smoothies, when I was sick.

This is one of those days that couldn't be more obviously out to get me...

My bus started to leave while I was standing (not running) in front of it, along with a woman who was adjusting her carry-sized dog. Psycho-girl is being herself again. I was walking to lunch and ran into a 'Sidewalk Closed' sign on the very block of Taco del Mar, making it impossible to get there and still have time to eat, so I went for teriyaki instead. My broccoli chicken came as beef broccoli, with bell peppers. The man behind me who ordered the same thing called it out, but I didn't have time to wait for a new order either. I dropped my iPod on the way and expected to see my new toy shattered.

My FFXI static party is meeting tonight. I've been all excited about hitting level 40 or 41 soon, but now I'm afraid I'll end up going backwards.

The dot matrix printer we use at work is flaky, and very occasionally stops mid-print and locks up. I've already been indirectly accused of sending psychic energy to make it die more for Karla than for me. Now she's blaming my laptop.

"Rebecca's here on her laptop, don't you think that has anything to do with it?" "No? Well you'd better look into it!" </growl>

Gah, at least somebody has some sense around here!

Muppets and Swedish porn. Who would have thought?

Wife accused of giving man lethal sherry enema

Karla seems to be in one of her moods today, but I can't see any reason unless she went and reversed the rules on me again. Maybe she's not getting any Valentine's sushi.

Andrew: oh, there we go. it's always good to know my reality is being validated by the seagoth board

I'm getting Valentine's sushi!

I've noticed Karla has been wandering off lately when I end up with a large order. I think she's still having irrational anger problems when that happens, but she seems to be learning to deal with it in a more adult manner.

For anyone who says llama/duck to me, Izzy is going to be tickled mercilessly.

I should send people in-game to http://www.livejournal.com/users/murple/ and tell them that's me (her). That outdoes my joke that all Mithra are played by 12 year-old boys, therefore I must really be a 12 year-old boy.

Andrew is thinking about getting me this shirt! Now that I've posted it, he will be obligated.

Styrdyst: how's unemployment?
dilinger7337: wonderful :)
dilinger7337: all the masturbation and debian projects i've been able to catch up on..
Styrdyst: at the same time?
Styrdyst: i'm resisting the urge to quote you there...
dilinger7337: no, i can't do both at the same time
dilinger7337: feel free to quote :P

Hmm... iPod navigation doesn't work when you're wearing gloves.

Another sign I play too much Final Fantasy, when I'm writing to a friend and try to refer to my boyfriend as 'Trynn'.

They replaced our birthday holiday with another one this year (day after Christmas?) so I didn't have any warning that Karla's birthday was coming up. I got to work five minutes late, and the women were crowded around our desk. It's an awkward situation when we both know we don't like each other, but have to keep up appearances.

Peach colored Valentines hearts taste suspiciously like toothpaste. The rest of the colors taste like toothpaste flavor rejects.

I still get the feeling that the guys at Taco del Mar are hitting on me (besides the fact that one asked me out a long time ago.) Despite turning him down, he still punches my punch card multiple times each day.

Today two of them had been trying to guess my age. The one had it right, but the other thought I was 21! I'm sure I look younger when I'm wearing Hello Kitty t-shirts...

Another one of my good friends quit FFXI Saturday, quite suddenly (at least to me.) At least he and I have been talking on ICQ so I have contact info outside of the game. Still sad to lose someone fun to play with. He sent me this picture today.

Also, Andrew told me that Livejournal accounts are free now (no codes required.) I'd been thinking about staring a Final Fantasy journal, not to be interesting to anyone else, but to have a place to write all of my game stories that I want to tell without cluttering my real journal/blog. I might set it up with different icons to be able to write in character (Neiko or Murple) or as the player.

Then I'd be able to tell the story of our last meeting (where that screenshot came from) but I don't know if I'd want to start off with a sad story.

Random thought of the day: Ebola must be going out of style.
