Late shift number one

07:39 / 04.07.07

Approx. twice a year, I regret not bothing with facebook or myspace and the like. It probably is Barbelith that keeps me from bothering, by taking up enough online time.

01:34 / 05.07.07

Too early?

01:46 / 05.07.07

Briefly up. Well, really up since I was looking for the fireworks display near my house and was a bit disappointed.

Should be in bed. Convince me not to be.

01:53 / 05.07.07

NO! Dont go to bed... there are monsters under it.

01:54 / 05.07.07

Not if you have two quasi-fierce cats.

Okay, I will stay up to finish one more smoke and beer. If there is jabber.

01:57 / 05.07.07

Then there shall surely jabber be!

How's things with Kali this fine evening?

02:22 / 05.07.07

Anyone still conscious? I don't like the notion of finding myself the lone occupant of the 'lith, since there's no fridge or interesting drawers and medicine cabinets to go through.

Apparently, despite my efforts to get an early start at sleep tonight, I'll be up until the cat realizes she can't actually catch and eat the bright 'splodey things in the sky. I think she's decided they're just big fireflies or something.

02:23 / 05.07.07

Ace. Just sent an email to a friend that I had once chatted up ages ago. Catching up, I have now learned that he and his current girlfriend are going to get married and have a baby. I think this is the AWESOME.

02:23 / 05.07.07

The fireflies explode where you are? That's both neat and depressing.

02:32 / 05.07.07

Errrugh. Why must a goddess sleep? She likey sleep, but she eyeing delicious chewy remnant of baguette....

02:34 / 05.07.07

The fireflies explode where you are?

When the cat gets them, yes. Yes, they do.

And that is indeed the awesome, Kali. Had a similar experience the other week, finding out a friend (more honestly, a guy it was better to be friendly with because he was a vindictive ass sometimes, but you got used to him) has gotten married to someone I found I liked quite a bit, and raising a kid together. Years of presuming he had probably gone on to a life of petty crime or something, and instead, he's working as a security guard/emergency go-to-guy at a retirement home, with his little boy to keep him company in the office at night.

02:41 / 05.07.07

Fair enough.

I'm just so durned full of the happies meself that I'm sending out waves and waves of love for everyone.

That includes YOU.

Um, and any catses in your vicinity.

02:52 / 05.07.07

Indulge in the baguette, Kali. Sleep can usually wait until food is gone. Y'know, except when it can't.

03:09 / 05.07.07

I ate the baguette. But now it's just after midnight here in the States.

I have to get up at five.

G'night, pets!

03:11 / 05.07.07

G'nite Kali!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:23 / 06.07.07

Hey, is anyone here tonight? I need some lateshifting even if it isn't that late here yet. I feel like it is really late however. I guess it is very late in Europe right now and not that late here in the US. And there is nothing really in between the US and England. I have to give a shout out to Greenland however!

00:37 / 06.07.07

I'm actually going to bed now, but I'll give you a hello and a goodbye!

00:45 / 06.07.07

G'bye Stoatie!

Hi JerDw.
How's things?

00:50 / 06.07.07

Hello Venger!

Things did not go well for me today. But as the song goes, the sun will come out tomorrow.......

how about you

00:55 / 06.07.07

Well at this point, Im resigned to the fact that the sun will only peak through the clouds in order to taunt me before the torrential rains.

this ride sux and I want my money back

00:59 / 06.07.07

Well okay, I will amend my last statement. The sun will rise up tomorrow but it may or may not make an appearance.

About the ride, you can't get your money back, it is not refundable

01:00 / 06.07.07

Then they should at the very least offer me some cotton candy.

01:02 / 06.07.07

Not so late, here, but I need some of the chat, gossip, 'n' whatnot listed on the label about now. Especially considering beer issues mentioned the other night.

JerDW, if you want some monumental fucking-up in the making to put things in perspective, keep an eye on the Miserable thread and my posts. Avoid if it'll make you feel worse, but if you like laughing at other's folly...

You had a test today, yeah, of some sort? A paper test, I'd hope, as opposed to a medical?

01:04 / 06.07.07

Venger, I think you get the cotton candy and other confections when you get off the ride. It's what's supposed to motivate you for staying on, in one of those mysterious ways some folks move.

01:05 / 06.07.07

Alright I will give you cotton candy if you are come to where I am.

Some restrictions apply. Some blackout dates are included. The cotton candy is subject to a $1 convenience fee. Tax not included. I reserve the right to cancel this promotion at any time

01:07 / 06.07.07

I really hoped the doorbell rang just as you posted that. Im imagining the look on your face had that happend.

01:10 / 06.07.07

I just read the miserable tread. I always find relationsips to be tough...whether they go badly or whether they go well, whether people are into you or they are not. I guess I am really bitter because I just broke up with my girlfriend.

Yeah I did have a test today, it was a paper exam for the class I was taking. I am so glad that both the test and the class is over. I just do not want to think about that stuff ever again

01:11 / 06.07.07

Well, that would have been crazy. Crazy things do happen. It would have been very surprising though. If you did make the effort to show up I probably would buy you cotton candy.

01:12 / 06.07.07

I would, but the whole border thing is just a hassle that I dont want to go through.

01:14 / 06.07.07

I can understand that, I don't like going through the border usually, it is quite a hassle. I have to do it next week and I am not looking forward to it. The whole traveling experience is not fun. I am not looking forward to it until I get there

01:18 / 06.07.07

and everytime they ask me if I have anything to declare I have to stiffle a smile beacuse my inner voice is begging me to scream "YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"

01:21 / 06.07.07

I think I actually like travelling more than arriving, especially if it's by train. Travel for cotton candy... worth it just for the chance to say you did it later, surely.

It's weird to think how easy it used to be to get across to Canada and back, and now it's, well, it's like the southern border used to be, and that's gotten worse.

01:25 / 06.07.07

Every time I go through the border, I think "I am so glad I am not Ahmed"

Ahmed is my friend who is from Pakistan who lives in Washington DC. Everytime he goes to the airport he has to plan in "Search and Interogation time" because he is stopped literally every time he goes to the airport and he is always "randomly" put in the intensive search line

01:30 / 06.07.07

"Every time I go through the border, I think "I am so glad I am not Ahmed"

Me too. Not that I know anyone named Ahmed. I just hate Ahmed Best. I think JarJar has ruined much in my life.
