Or so complains a friend. 🙂 So that means I will have to entertain you all. Dangerous.
Hmmmm… yesterday I went and met a new-to-me mommy (*wave*) and she seems pretty cool. The right blend of snarky and crunchy combined with the fact that she is a non-techie married to a geek. I hope this relationship goes somewhere. 🙂
Today I had a Miss Laura over. That’s always lovely. Now we have chicken and potatoes in the crock pot with vindaloo sauce.
Hm. That’s not very entertaining. Ooh! I’ll play a game. How about if I say some number of statements (uhm… 20? Can I come up with that many?) about people who are regular readers/posters on my journal. Then y’all can see if you can pick yourself out of the list. (Of course I am only guessing at who the entire list of regular readers are, but I have some suspicions.)
1. Your art is neato. I think your blog is neato. You should post more. 🙂 Don’t be overcome by inertia!
2. I think I should come to BR and have you watch my kid. She’s fun. 🙂
3. You are the only short story author I actually take the time to read when you post new stuff. You should feel all special.
4. Competency and good cheer are the things I associate with you most strongly.
5. Yeah, Spider man shirts are totally over-rated. 😛
6. I wish I could build a house there. I really do. Poopy commuting.
7. I think your hair should be purple next. 😀
8. Dude, you should post about something other than travel. Like, I don’t have the foggiest idea what you actually do for a living and I’ve known you for a long time. (yeah you’re a geek, who isn’t around here? except for me of course.)
9. We would actually get around to having dinner if you CALLED ME.
10. I really hope we end up moving to the same place. That would be neat.
11. No shit dude, I think you are the funniest chick (I wanted to put person but if I did then everyone would assume it’s a guy and that’s just not so.) I know. Now, if we could work on your self esteem we would be golden.
12. You must know I love you. A day of eating chocolate is not my thing. 🙂
13. I don’t think I miss dancing as a whole all that much but I really miss dancing with you.
14. I don’t think I should call your dad anymore. I get the impression he would rather hear my news from you.
15. Can your family adopt me? Especially your mom.
16. I shouldn’t be envious, but I am because I can’t believe you dropped your baby weight already.
17. So, how is the weather up there? Are you freezing yet? Are you still happy you moved?
18. I’m glad that your cat is smart enough to know that you still need the routine.
19. I feel guilty when I read about your knitting and gardening. I would like to be so cool. 🙂
20. When are you going to visit this coast again? It’s always nice talking with you and it looks like I won’t be making it east this year.
21. I’m glad you finally got something like support from that stupid school.
22. You do a good job of giving tactful advice even when it isn’t solicited. I’m amazed at how well you walk the line of not pissing me off. And you have to be the most respectful debater I’ve ever encountered. Good job. 🙂
Ok. I need to go play with Shanna now. 🙂
10?
pretty sure I dodged this bullet 🙂
Am I 19? If so, no need to feel guilt! You and Noah created something I’ll never be able to do. And she looks so awesome with avocado all over her face!
Yup, still happy 😉
Oh man oh man oh man!
I don’t know if I’m on there, but I do read.:)
I don’t think you’re referring to me, but in case you’re asking, a visit back to California is up in the air until I sort out any teaching responsibilities for the summer and fall. If I don’t teach for big chunks of time, it will depend on whether my knees are rehabilitated enough to do some of my field work. I also have one friend who wants me to come back for a wedding, one friend who wants me to come see his new baby, and then Dana who really wants to see me sooner than later as well. If any of it is even possible I’m going to be careful not to overextend myself and to make plenty of time to see Santa Cruz again.
In a perfect world, I’d love to come back in May and sometime in the Fall but before Christmas.
#22 is something I sometimes aspire to be, but I don’t usually succeed in not pissing people off. 🙂
Damn. I don’t think I’m on the list….
will i look like a total asshole if i guess 1? i can hope, right?
*grin* You are totally not an asshole.
none are me
I’m so vain
I probably think this post is about me.
I am *not* going to color my hair purple for you. You should quit calling my dad – he has a really hard time hearing people on the phone; it just frustrates him.
I wish #16 were me. 🙂
It already IS purple! Well, almost.
Is #7 about me?
I need an icon of me with colored hair.
I don’t think I’m on there either.
the funny chick one is me.
at least every-other wednesday evening.
and “special” weekends with my she-peeps!
I aspire to be #4. Sadly I may also be #20. And no plans to head west – yet.
