Shit, LMNO, sorry to hear. :( I'm with ECH on the speedy process bit, but obviously biased by the situation with my own dad. At any rate, I have Monday off. If you need anything, you know how to find me. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts (and doing.. you know, the non-religious version of praying for y'all). <3

I met this girl years ago at summer camp who was a mostly unremarkable teenager except for voice--star singer of summer camp, oh my!--and big nose. Then she turned into Lady Gaga. Weirdo!

PD, please help me pick out some new glasses (a secondary pair that will probably turn primary very quickly). Be sure to enjoy the super lighting and fabulous work name tag!


They're actually dark purple, fyi.


These are just like those last ones, yet ever so slightly different! They would also be purple.


Ehhh.. not sure about Hipster Eve. But they come in RED.


WHAT IS THIS FACE? :x   I just don't even.


Help a girl out. I'm bad at judging things on my own face.

I particularly like getting on a T that's running express. "This train will be running express to Cleveland Circle. Attention passengers, this train is running EXPRESS to CLEVELAND CIRCLE. There is another train immediately behind us that will be making ALL LOCAL STOPS. So if you need to get off at a stop anywhere between here and Cleveland Circle, get off of this train and wait for the next one. WE WILL NOT BE STOPPING ANYWHERE BETWEEN HERE AND CLEVELAND CIRCLE. ONCE AGAIN, THIS TRAIN IS RUNNING EXPRESS TO CLEVELAND CIRCLE!" Then, after this announcememnt has been repeated at least three more times, some jackass presses the stop request button for the next stop and makes a biiig fucking fuss about the fact that they can't get off the train. Or, even worse, the driver stops and lets them off anyway.

EXPRESS. LEARN THE MEANING OR GET OFF THE BUS(/TRAIN), FUCKWADS.

Is the Red Line that bad? It's never bothered me much, but I don't live on it.

That would be kinda cool.  :)


Reposting relevant parts of the letter here:


   I hope that this letter finds you well. It was with great peril that I acquired the one which you sent to me. I travelled many miles from Villager's apartment in Dorchester to Newton, then back to Dorchester for beer and barbecue (which ended up being wine and cheezits). This journey was undertaken via MBTA. I'm not certain if LMNO ever told you, but unlike other subways, the MBTA is a living but largely dormant entity that has been made docile for the purposes of transportation, not unlike the sandworms in Dune, revered as Shai-Hulud. It's a little known fact that Herbert was inspired to write of sandworms after a particularly interesting ride from Park Street.

   Some say it is a god worshiped by the Massachusett; Some say it is a demon subdued by the Freemasons for nefarious puposes; I have heard it said that it is the trapped ghost of Metacomet (though this never made sense to me); and yet others say that it is the reason why we won the Revolution. I am hoping that Villager's infiltration of the Dorchester Historical Society will turn up valuable documents on the matter, especially after today. Whatever MBTA happens to be, it is certain that it wished to deter me from reading your letter, as the Alewife train seemed willing to throw itself off the tracks and down a hill in order to keep me from getting it. I got off at South Station to fool it and instead take the Worcester Line directly to my old abode.

Arriving at the Nepostery, Newton Branch, I read the letter immediately. Clutching the two pages, I made back for Dorchester, and MBTA was enraged. It bucked and lurched, endeavoring to throw me from my seat on the D Line and break my neck. The Ashmont train was just as intent as before when it was heading to Alewife. MBTA was roused from its slumber, and I wonder if it was the presence of something Tucsonian, forcing it to remember the ancient horrors that lay dormant beneath the surface of Bostonia, like some dreadful incantation from the Necronomicon...

Spirits of the Red Line, remember!
Spirits of the Green Line, remember!
Spirits of the Blue Line, remember!
MBTA, delayer of dudes, be praised!
Ia! Ia! In his house at Park Street Station, dead Charlie waits dreaming!

First mistake was getting on the E line, of course.   :mittens: nonetheless!

When people try to quantify men and women as discrete and mutually exclusive categories, I'm pretty much guaranteed that anything they say regarding this argument will be bullshit.

Yes, this. A million times over.

Goodbye, paycheck! Will be bidding on many of these as soon as I'm home from work.

Nigel, you know I love your beads. I get crazy amounts of compliments whenever I wear my leaf necklace, and keep a few of the random ones you've sent me next to my bed so I can see pretty beads all the time. No joke. :)  I love them so!

(Not to take away from the point--get it? parentheses--but I don't at all consider this to be TMI Dramaz. Just sayin'.)

 :sad:

Sorry to hear, LMNO. If you need to vent about it (or just go on and on and not* feel bad for saying the same things to the same people), you know how to find me.

Daaamn. Didn't think I'd live to see this happen.
