So, I was at a birthday dinner for my pal and his fiancee the other night ok? And like, this totally awkward busgirl is like...busing our table or whatever and making super awkward chatting and blah blah...And she asks how old everyone's turning, and I make some comment like "I was pissed as hell when I found out he was a year younger than me!" and Awkardo The BusGirl was like "ZOMGOSH you look

ZOMG HAAAAI!I have decided to try to resurrect this bad boy for a couple of reasons...1. Had an epic day filled with hilarity and general awesome with BoyKing and felt sad that the interwebs would never, ever know...2. BoyKing basically dared me to, literally saying "I am lighting the FIRE WITHIN YOU!"...I don't know, but I think he likes me blogging so he can link send this link to the ladies

Ok, so you guys? Right now I am typing this from the PUBLIC LIBRARY.Oh yes.I am surfing the free wireless wave at a public library.I have become what I most loathed...a PATRON.So I'm all chillin' on gchat, chattin' up YPBM and he's all:YBPM: I gave a lecture on Dinosaurs there once!Me: No you did NOT!YBPM: TOTALLY did.Me: When?

You guys should know, that currently we have like 4 inches of snow in Atlanta.For reals? That's a big deal.Also, someone came up with the tag of HOTHlanta, which I love and adore and plan on making my very own.Most importantly however, it's totally mine and BoyKing's TWO YEAR FRIENDIVERSARY.Ok. I won't lie to you, I don't know the exact date, but it's right around this time.And since BoyKing and

Wow.I pretty much suck at blogging right now. I mean, BoyKing fully called me out yesterday all "Um, hello? I have done tons of funny shit lately that the interwebs are currently ignorant of, so get on it."First off, I am slowly recovering from what I think was probably a bout with:::STAGE WHISPER:::H1N1.Tell no one, or they will have me put in isolation.Ok, so this morning I went to check on my

ZOMG YOU GUYYYYSSSSS!I am FAAAAALLLING.So, week one as an "actress" (it gets air quotes until it's real) continues on apace. Just a side note about air quotes? I have had to sit on my hands TWICE this week because I have been compulsively putting everything in air quotes. Like, hey...can you pass the "salad dressing" kind of everything going in air quotes.I'm unsure when exactly I became so

First things first? It is my LAST DAY in the world of Public Libraries.TODAY.Well, at least as an employee...I'm sure I'll be surfing the free wireless wave as a patron when I run out of money.Anyway. Holy weird feelings Batman.I have a pretty amazing weekend to re-cap here folks, so get comfy.Ok so first things first, this weekend? I had a lecture and a CLASS with Steve Whitmire.!!!You people

You should be aware that this is my 2nd to last day at the Library.EEEE!Also, there are a grand total of FIVE PATRONS in here today because the roads are covered with icy death. They will be all day mind you, because it's not supposed to get above 28 degrees. This? Is like an EndTime scenerio for Atlanta.So, I'm here. Bored. Freezing. Waiting to die driving on the way home.It's great.No, really,

...of my life.Later! You've all been thrown away.No, no. Not yet anyway.So, I started cleaning out my desk at the Library today, and like it's almost 3 years worth of stuff. This? Mind you, is the longest I have ever been at one job.I'm so responsible.Ok, so like...here are the contents of my desk drawer:1. No less than 10 thousand paperclips2. 6 sharpies3. 3 Hi-liters4. stamps, and stamp pads...

Ok.So it's DAY ONE of my final week at the library.:::gleeful clapping:::And it's greeted me in such fashion as to continually validate my choice to depart every.waking.second.First things first, yours truly had to stock the lobby with TAX FORMS because if people don't have their TAX FORMS the first week in January, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO THEM.We currently have a 40 minute wait for the

Ok dudes.I'll admit it.I had given up on this blog. I was over it. I said "pshaw, I am now too bitter to find amusement."Then? Thanks to Babs, I discovered this.It brought me SO much joy, and if you like me, you will LOVE her because she's basically like Me:The Uber Upgrade.And I was like, if bitch has funny shit to say, I still have funny shit to say.And by bitch, I mean if Jeebus loved me he

Ok...First of all, that dude who totally touched my boob here at the library? Was BACK today. He is, in fact, A CREEPER.He totally walked up to the RefDesk and was like "Hello."Me: Hello.BobTheBoobGrabber: How are you?Me: Fine.BtBG: :::hovers:::Then like walked away.

Ok, so one of our regulars is here today....you know....'cause he's a regular.And like, he's only usually MODERATELY creepy, mainly because of what he looks like. Like he kind of looks like if James Brown and Rick James combined to form Captain SoulWeave. He also sometimes wears hospital scrubs tops with his pants.I do not think he works in a hospital.ANYWAY. He usually comes by himself and like

And she kinda looks like Emma from Glee if Emma from Glee where dressed up as Baby Jane for Halloween.Like she has this bleached blond bob, which may have actually been a wig, and like, crazy ass makeup on.

Ok, so this past weekend we had a matinee production of [EvenNewerPlay!] right? So like it's sunny, and lovely out. And like, for this play, me and my witchy counterparts are barefoot. I.E., naked feet. So me and InternWitch are all creeping up the stairs onto this platform...when suddenly...OMG!BURNINGRINGOFPAINANDFIRRRE!You guys? That platform? Was like HOT ASPHALT. No. Worse.

Um. Sorry that I fail you guys.But like...it's tech week? Which means all I'm doing is rehearsing, working, rehearsing, laundry, eating, possibly sleeping, then getting up and doing the same.Also? THIS BLOG has been taking much of my creative energy...but it's SO worth it. So read it.

So, on the road this morning, I saw a bumper sticker that said "YES LORD! We WILL ride with you!" and it reminded me of a conversation I once had with some folks about how most Christian Pop/Rock songs are like...vaguely sexual.I mean seriously. How many times have you heard some Christian Pop Diva singing about how she wants Jesus' love inside of her?To prove my thesis, I thought I would go

You should know that there is a man here.Yes. Fascinating.He is wearing some thug-tastic giant low-slung denim shorts.When he left the RefDesk, turning his back to me...I got to see the back of said shorts.On the back pockets, were two pictures of women..who were BOUND AND NAKED.What.In.The.FUCK.ETA to say that a woman just approached the RefDesk and said "My MapQuest keeps disappearing into a

You guys? I must tell people how to print stuff AT LEAST 30-45 times a day.Just repeating the same schpeal OVER and OVER and OVER again.In an effort to help this, some time ago, a co-worker made a very handy and clear sign with step by step instructions and hung it right above the print station.And you guys? Not so much with the complicated.So when people holla at me from the print station like "

Like that Kings of Leon song is hot? But like...what?Anyway.So, BoyKing called yesterday (which naturally filled my heart with giant spoonfulls of unicorn glitter and fairy dust) to tell me that he was cast in his first play at AlmaMater!BoyKing: Yeah, so I got a part in [AlmaPlay]. It's uh...first name "first" last name "man." I think it might be a small part.Me: Well....maybe First Man is only

You guys? We have a first today at the library.I have seen ass crack.Yep.Way to go guy using the copier.I'm actually sort of astounded that this is the first time in nearly 3 years of working in the public library that I've seen ass crack.Also, for your laughing at how I earn my paycheck pleasure, today, my first ReferenceTransaction of the morning:Phone: RING RINGMe: Good morning, this is

That is literally what I just thought my co-worker said to me. She said "you're going to be a sounding board" but I heard zombie.Interesting.So. BoyKing said he was a little frightened and dismayed by how angry my last post was. So I read it over, and I too fear for my sanity.So today?

You guys?I have reached maddening levels of frustration. Like I literally just uttered a very loud, very audible "Oh my GOOOODDDD" because I simply could not contain my disgust at how very, very fucking freaked up people are.So this dude right?On a computer.

Ok. So I had this epic plan of keeping a daily journal in England right? And then like, I would just post those daily journals everyday for a week on this blog.Yeah.No. That didn't work. My daily EnglandJournal turned into dates, and a list of bulleted reminders...which included the following:COCKFOSTERS! WaggleDance at COCKFOSTERS! Kings Arms, wilting cigarette. The Globe-River of Blood.

SO.I'm leaving for England TONIGHT.Longest.Day.EVARRRR.I just wanted to pop in and say "Lata bitches", because even though I will have the interwebs while I'm over there, unless England basically SUCKS I don't think I'll be taking the time to blog.However.If something like SUPER AMAZING INTERESTING happens, mebbe.But I will have epic stories to tell when I return, I'm sure.

I couldn't even begin to tell you what I was dreaming about....probably just the SUNSHINE which I LONG TO BE BAKING IN.Plus, I have hardly been sleeping.

This is my letter to the public.Dear Ungrateful Wretches,No. There is no quiet spot in this library. It is, if you haven't noticed, filled with people. And children. Because it's summertime, AND also tons of people (like YOURSELF) are unemployed and need free access to the internerds, and perhaps also air conditioning.
