Its not June. I refuse to except it.

Why do you always wake up just when the dream is getting good!!?!?!

SCG

Holy cow, it is June! This summer is seriously flying by!

Is it terrible that I can't help but think about how much closer this brings me to going back to school? Ugh, and also how I really need to get moving on applying to another school...
Oh and also how I'm missing out on valuable time spent with my friend who not only goes to school on the other side of the country, but also will be spending next semester in South Africa! Hmph!

My, my. I'm quite the pessimist this morning!

My tired....is tired, and the day is only just starting. I just can't keep up like I used to.

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

lol...girl, I was in bed by 8:30 last nite.

On another note, I don't think I am going to help y'all out next time....fu & your inconsiderateness......why do I even fn bother?
Your life is a disaster. You made it that way. You fix it yourself......

I feel bad for Buster Posey.

It cooled off! Hurray!

Who Me?

I hate when people act like know-it-alls. I hate when people hear some stupid tidbit on the "news" and take it to be some new fact of life. Some study shows that cell phones may possibly have a link to some type of cancer (or may not have a link) and people are all running around like "I knew it! Cell phones cause cancer!". I hate when people take some anecdotes as facts. A gathering of personal stories does not constitute evidence.

Scientific research is difficult. Don't assume you know better just because you're neighbor's third cousin had disease X that they just KNOW was caused by disease Y.

I study this stuff (study design, etc.) for a living. It's so hard to hear people shoot their mouths off about what they "know".

My last name is spelled wrong on my check. With an S instead of a Z. I fail to see how because well, ID with and ungodly amount of forms all with clear Z in them! Also, they put my middle name on it (well, the shortened one I wrote on my SS before I got a new card recently with my new legal name. So, they clearly looked at my (former, no longer displaying my legal name) social security card as the source of my name instead of my ID, but they still spelled my last name wrong!

Guess what? That invoice is due and I haven't received payment. Your stellar reputation is beginning to tarnish.

Am I going to have to send a ****ty email?

WileE-Dead

Ah, nd, they just don't think we need the fn $....fo[c]kers........

ninja dog

I sincerely hope otherwise.

WileE-Dead

I know, tho my faith is really starting to dwindle these days & I really, really hate that....

TRBL

Ninja, I chose to believe, on your behalf, that the check is late because of the holiday weekend. I proclaim it shall be received today!

Seriously, I hope you get it soon.

Aw, TRBL, you're so sweet.

How's the eyesight/headache/dizziness issue? Feeling better?

Wile, faith is a tough thing to maintain. It's a struggle, but a worthy one. (Not that I succeed at it, but I'd like to, and I try.)

Saria

Ugh. I'm trying to read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, but I had to put it down. I have to get through these first few chapters, but it is so difficult to read about foot binding. The description is so horrifying that I truly felt myself getting sick and wanting to throw up from reading. I want to cry.

Oh, man ---- I feel your pain, Saria. I read about it and freaked. It's just......so...dementedly, morbidly, abusive. Violent, even. I don't want to say this lightly, but I'm really not sure that death isn't preferable.

Another One Bites The Dust is the theme song to my life.

I thought there were two nice men interested in me ... and then there were none.

I pulled a muscle in my back and am PMSing so I am pretty much just crying at my desk this afternoon.

ninja dog

Aw, divegirl.

I've got cramps, too. I hope you find solace in knowing that another shares your unmitigated physical joy.
