The Fact That I Was Doing Semi-Grown-Up Stuff Ten Years Ago Makes Me Feel Old.

Work is boring. Let’s do a survey…thanks to WCG .




10 Years Ago:

I had just finished my junior year of college and broken up with GEB. That was also the summer that KT and I really became friends, and bonded extensively over many bowls and games of millipede.

5 Years Ago:

I was working at a small law firm, living in Norman, and I believe that’s about the time that my little Sissy came to live with me. I believe there was some fucked-up boy stuff going on, too.

1 Year Ago:

I was working at a job I loved, starting a blog, dating two guys, and in better shape than I’d ever been…which isn’t saying much.

Yesterday:

I went to the dermatologist because of a stupid rash/infection thing on my arm that’s been there for months. I went to my regular doctor, who just kinda looked at it and prescribed a week of antibiotics which did almost nothing. It’s not like it’s painful or anything, but it’s ugly. And no, I am not posting a picture. The dermatologist said it was folliculitis, and wants me to be on an antibiotic for the next two months. This is not your basic normal antibiotic, either. You can’t take it with calcium or iron (which basically means you can’t eat or take vitamins at the same time you take it), and it makes you extra-sensitive to the sun. Lovely. I already could be the poster child for skin-cancer risk. However, if it fixes the problem, I will stop bitching. That may take 3-4 weeks, according to the doctor.

Also yesterday, I indulged my newly-discovered craving for sushi. (Clarity, this is all your fault.) The SuperTarget near work has a most excellent deli…and one of the choices is sushi. They even have the sushi chefs there if you want something different. When I discovered that a big pile of California rolls has almost no Weight Watchers “points,” it was all over. What sucks is that I start my new job on September 6th, and there is not a SuperTarget anywhere near it, dammit.

Counting Crows - “Round Here”

Five Things I Would Do with $100 Million:

Pay off all debt
Pay off friends’ debt
Buy a house
Travel
Set up a charitable foundation

Five Places to Which I Would Run Away:

Coast of Oregon
Amsterdam
Ireland
New York
Australia

Five Things I Would Never Wear:

Those “Croc” shoes (ugly. plastic.)
A uniform
Pantyhose with sandals
Low-rise jeans

She bop a LOOP She bop She bop. Got your mega-awesome CD. I'll send you one back, but I lost your address. I suck. Good luck with your vampire meds!

I have nothing to write about but my cat, so I might have to steal this. :)

I think we should rewrite that song to say She B.O.B. I mean, it's so much more fitting. I remember singing that song when it came out when I was all of 15 and honestly believed that masturbation and homosexuality was something like an urban legend; it didn't really exist.

And yes, I was THAT naive. I'm too lazy to check if that was even spelled right. :p

What do you mean California sushi rolls have almost no WW points? For how many? Are the Cali rolls the ones with no raw meat?
