It's gonna be the future soon...

Dear Employment Fairy,

derspatchel next, please.

Love,
me

I wrote this on my phone about three weeks ago and never sent it through. Fixing that now!

Been 30 for over a week now. It's not too different from my 20s:
I still can stay up until dawn with good company.
I still jump in the air at the top of an elevator ride when the change in acceleration makes me feel lighter and jump higher.
I still play dress-up and make-believe.
I still get excited about shiny things in my hair.
I still like mac 'n' cheese.
I still can flirt with a guy at a social event and have him look me up and drop me a line afterwards. (woo!)
I still play with toys.
I still idly wonder if I'll notice when I grow up.

Things I'm in the middle of and need to finish:
* Twin Peaks
* Spaced (with usernamenumber)
* Discworld
* mailing Sara's mended purse
* knitting Sara's new purse
* knitting bunnies for Lily
* unpacking
* paying off debt
* various relationship negotiations
* this list? ;)

More of the things I want should be attainable.

(This is totally-out-of-proportion whining. I've got it pretty good right now.)

I have learned in the past few days:
1. It's called a "method crush" and is not solely about or attributable to gower .
2. NASA once discovered that women fart more than men.
3. My voice is more passable than I previously thought.
4. chaiya  will be Con Chair for Arisia 2011!

Almost as annoying as watching someone else play Solitaire and holding back from giving tips? Listening to other people solve a crossword when it's rude to butt in and give hints. I had to move seats.

Idea: world is running low on copper + pennies are meaningless as currency = reclaim copper from pennies and turn into wire etc! I am brilliant.

Reminder: movie party tonight! See earlier post for details.
Show up and I'm likely to make you pancakes. Maybe omelettes too.

I have the keys to my shiny new Piehole!

Gift idea: if anyone finds a pie-related keychain anywhere in the world, please get it for me? :)

Also good news: I finally got around to checking the Zipcars nearest the Piehole, and there is a Prius! My Zipcar usage to date has always revolved around the question of "be quick and rent the nearest car, or be choosy/fun/frugal/conscious and rent the nearest Prius?" Now they can be the same answer!

Today is bright and sunny, if you couldn't tell. And now I'm off to a party and good food. Yay.

As we are currently under a winter wonderland here in Boston, today I wore my cat-eared hat. (For some reason, I feel odd wearing it if there's no snow. I wonder when I got into that habit?) While walking to the subway for my morning commute, a passer-by (male, dressed casually nice, 20s-30s) waved and got my attention just to say, "Meow how are you meow?" with childish joy in his voice. Made me smile.

Today I got to sleep in, and when I woke the sun was shining and both cats were in bed with me. Bad days happen, and today might even turn into one, but right now I'm sitting pretty on optimism.
