Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In January I helped [info]davesbook hide a body (-173 points). Last Friday I put money in [info]toddandpenguin's expired parking meter (14 points). Last Thursday [info]mygeech and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Last Tuesday I turned [info]torapines in for spitting (3 points). In March I gave [info]hannibalv a kidney (1000 points).

Overall, I've been nice (855 points). For Christmas I deserve a toy train!

Sincerely,
rearviewmags

good lord, could this week be any more frustrating at work? the notepad next to my computer has tiny dot marks all over it from me jamming my pen into it, repetitively, at high speeds, all day.

if this keeps up, we go to plan b.

floral design school.

3:21 pm - reason #366
just got off the phone with the geech, who was complaining about her mall being overrun by little kids waiting for the release of the latest harry potter book. (note: the at&love is located directly across the way from the borders.) "they've been there since, like, 9am," she said. "what are they doing all day, just hanging out?"

"well, they're excited. they need to get their wristbands."

"they can get 'em and then go somewhere else." she took a break to swear loudly at some gnatty bugs swarming in the back room and then continued. "i mean, i guess i've just never felt that strongly about something enough to line up for it."

"i lined up for order of the phoenix."

"not at 9 in the morning, though."

"no, at 10 at night."

"see?"

"yeah, but i'm not nine."

"well...that's...debatable."

2:20 pm - don't worry, i'm not going back to school...
The desire for advancement, both personal and career-wise, could cause you to consider the possibility of furthering your education in some way, dear Pisces. Someone close to you, probably a woman, could wake you up to the advantages of returning to school and getting an advanced degree. You may want to wait a little bit before actually deciding, but something has shifted within you, and it's time for some kind of change. Be prepared!

Something has shifted within me? That sounds more medical than professional...

Seriously, I can't even complete an application for grad school, let alone contemplate going. (I've half-applied to the same program no fewer than four times over the last three years.)

I'm not hung up on this whole completion thing.

10:01 am - warning: grammar snobbery ahead
You will be lost in your thoughts today. The celestial atmosphere enables you to ponder over a frustrating aspect of your life. Your partner is often far away from you, yet you need your sweety besides you. This may well be the cause of a lot of tension. The time is right to talk to your partner about this situation.

okay. two things.

1. sweetie, not sweety. maybe that's a personal spelling preference, but the next one hurts me...

2. besides? besides me? oh, you mean beside me, as in 'next to' me, and not, 'instead of' me?

um, yeah. msn? you haven't fooled me.

where is my regular horoscope writer?

4:21 pm - Hey, fourth grade, where've you been?
Frighteningly, this is an almost doable lifestyle.

Almost.

You will live in Apartment.
You will drive a silver kia sephia.
You will marry joel and have three kids.
You will be a camp counselor in new orleans.

Now you.

The expression "turning point in your destiny" often brings a smile to cynical people's faces, but in your case, dear Pisces, it definitely has some meaning. This turning point can take the form of a new person in your life, or a key event that changes things forever. Sometimes, things that we only hear about actually happen. Something like this may be happening to you in the coming months.

well, it's a good thing i'm not cynical, then, despite my best efforts to the contrary.

A misguided deer smashed through the 7 by 10 foot tempered plate glass window of a newspaper office early Wednesday morning in downtown Auburn.

To read the article.

1:16 pm - but jake, the plows won't be through for hours!
two things, quickly.

1. it took me four tries to get my car out of the driveway this morning, popping it into neutral each time, then kicking the snow away from my tires with the ever-popular rond de jambe motion. my pant legs were wet up to the knee until 10am this morning.

2. it is valentine's day, and people are being snowed into their houses. whose romance novel are we in?
