It's time we pretend that we're growing up.

I'm turning 23 on Sunday, so I decided to throw a cocktail party Saturday night. I decided to do this specifically so i could wear an expensive dress that i bought for no reason 'cept that it was pretty. So I get to make all of my friends get dressed up and pretend that we're adults for a night.

Maybe I'll put CNN on in the background and have NPR as the music for the night...
But I'm really going to loop the Strangers With Candy dance compilation and make people bring mix cd's.

And now my favorite picture from a party:

Harry Potter and the Heaviest Hardcover Book Ever

Will you (meaning everyone) losers finish the book so I can finally talk about it? I have never before felt like high-fiving a character in a book, and I need to express that to someone.

Positive thoughts to get me through the day.

Thursday: Cantab
Friday: Brian's 21st!
Saturday: Nikko's grand Boston adventure
Sunday: Recover

This is gonna be awesome!

Maybe force was the wrong way to go about things...

It's only Wednesday and I'm so done with this week. I'm so happy i have a full weekend of drinking and doing stupid shit with my friends planned.

It's been one of these days.

Ah, Family

My sister, on being the newly crowned #1 on my myspace top friends: I am thrilled to be in your top spot. In fact, I just revised my resume.

I'm going to force this week to be awesome.

The Actual Sounds of the City

I got ready this morning as smoothly as I ever had. I had my clothes laid out, the house was clean, the cat was fed. But as I was getting my stuff together to leave for work today, I realized that my iPod battery had died over the weekend. I figured as long as I left the headphones in, I'd be fine, but then I realized that, while keeping people from talking to me, it won't drown out the other people on the train. So out comes the DS, Super Princess Peach to be specific. I plugged into that, and as irritating as the music for that game is, it's a hell of a lot better than early-morning cell phone conversations and random grumblings of crazy people.

But now the theme music from the game has been stuck in my head all morning. I really hope my iPod charges soon.

Things that make me hate my job

Some lady i've never seen before and in a different department with their own AA just told me that i'm going to be in charge of making sure her laptop is being fixed. And then called me Steffie.
It was one of those moments where i pictured myself lunging across my desk and wringing her neck. It was so vivid that i was surprised to find myself still writing out her instructions and not choking the life out of her.

2 Weeks Post-Flood

They finally removed all of the heavy equipment they were using to dry out the place. I didn't realize how much i would miss the irritating noise until it was gone. Now it's eerily quiet and i can hear everyone in the office talking. Maybe i'll flood the ladies room just to get the asinine banter muted.

I just had to share...
