Only an Administrative Assistant would dwell on this...

Comic Sans is the Benny & The Jets of fonts. Completely lame and intolerably obnoxious.

Hyperlink pudding.

• Word Plus One.
  Every day, Frank writes a short story. And every day, the story is one word longer than its predecessor. The first one: yeah, one word long. (I suggest starting there. It's really quite good.) The entire concept is completely lovable, and I envy him immensely for coming up with the idea.


• xkcd
  One of my very favorite web comics. Very smart. Very funny. Check out:
  Boombox
  90's Flowchart
  Nintendo Surgeon
  And then there's the parody they did of my other favorite strip online: A Softer World.


• Red Vs. Blue
  Some of the best machinima ever written and produced. Only 5 episodes left in its 100 episode run. I'll miss it dearly.

family.

One thing to like about my place of work: these guys.

This little family of three ducks. They're always out there, always together, even though the mottled one on the right looks -and sounds- to be of questionable mental capacity. They still keep him around, despite his incessant honking at nothing in particular, and skim the surface of the water between the marinas, above the fish, day in, day out, side by side by side.

There's something comforting in the sight of that bond. Even if they are just ducks.

Still haven't realized it.

...I have always judged myself by others' acceptance (or rejection) of me. I just can't imagine being worth anything if no one else thinks I am. Maybe it's wrong. No, it is wrong. But will I ever be able to say, "All of you can go fuck yourselves. I am who I am."? I have my doubts. In fact, I have an army of them, waiting over that hill there, ready to storm over the fields of self-confidence at the very moment they sense an uprising.

It's why I need my own song.
It's why I have a comment system on this site.
It's why I haven't been alone since I was fifteen.
It's why I love cats....

....Cats?
Yeah, you heard me.

It doesn't matter.
What happens happens.
And if I'm meant to realize that I am what I love and not what loves me, then I will.

So hey, alright, I've become less anal...

...since I last took this test two and a half years ago.
Nice. I guess.

Little more dependent now, though. Hm. Married life. By the way, though, I do totally want things to be given to me instead of having to work for them. Why the hell wouldn't I? Work is fo suckaz.

Still true as ever.

I'm a water sign, drowning under a wet moon.

When it rains, it... rains for days and days and days. {Jenny smirks at the insanity of dreading precipitation in the desert.} The sky has broken into bite-sized pieces of unmanageable stress and anger and resentment and et cetera et cetera et cetera, she says.

She says, "The water sliding off the stars is still just water."

And it doesn't make sense.

And she's tired. And overworked. And five miles underground.

"...because dude would totally do something like that."

Pumpkins fans, I knew it.

"Apart from Corgan himself and possibly his drummer and BFF Jimmy Chamberlain, it's been frustratingly unclear just who will be part of that dadgum Pumpkins reunion. Guess we'll find out when the thing ignites at May 22's inaugural reunion gig in Paris, then gets consummated with the July 7 release of Zeitgeist. Perhaps Billy's spent the post-Zwan years creating clones of himself to back him, because dude would totally do something like that."

If it's not Billy, James, D'arcy, and Jimmy for this "reunion," it's just another empty shell of what once was.

..Or Zwan.

No way to make this sound like anything other than whining.

I want to leave.
I want to be happy.
I want to enjoy waking up, not dread it.
I want to be somewhere else. Anywhere else.
I want to just walk out the door right now and start living.

Honestly though, I don't know what happens next.
I'm cracking right down the center.

Ha ha. Very funny, Google.

Wow. You know, they actually had me going. "All my emails printed and delivered to me for free? Niiiice...." Damn Jenny.

Happy April Fools Day everyone.
