Getting a power sander! It's all cute and feminine, too. It's so cool watching the hard edges on the tables melt away....

Speechless... (Explanation: there was a lindy hop swing exchange in Albany two weekends ago, which I went to. There is another in Ottawa from June 28-July 1, which I decided I could not attend due to lack of fundage - the registration fee is US $75. Swing exchanges are weekends of bands, DJs, sometimes classes & competitions, and a lot of "imported" dancers. TONS of fun.)
I just got this email:
quote:Hello coil,
Maybe you left an indelible impression at the Albany exchange. Maybe the lindy gods have a crush on you. Maybe you've died and gone to heaven. But whatever it is, somebody out there must think you're pretty cool, because you've been registered for the CRex Lindy Hop Exchange! Yes, you heard right. You have been mysteriously and anonymously registered for the entire weekend and housing will be arranged. A cheque (payment in full for your registration) was received last week. So, come celebrate your birthday and graduation canadian lindy-style.
Please reply to this email if you have any questions about your registration. See you soon!

I've been whining about being sick for the last day or two and my friend stopped by the lab to drop of some homemade, fresh-out-of-the-oven, vegan cookies I don't know if cookies help one get over a cold any faster, but they can't hurt can they?

I have only one more killer final exam left, I have a possible job opportunity, and I went driving (needed to practice). Best part of the driving was where we went: 'The New Great Wall'. Hunan chicken and fried rice, mmmmmmmm...
So I'm a food addict. ::shrugs and grins:: But it's all soooooo good.... Posts: 1548 | Registered: Aug 2002

I got an e-mail from a friend from high school, and she will be here in Munich in about a month, right before I leave! I haven't seen her in a few years, so this is exciting. Posts: 3801 | Registered: Jan 2000

Oh my goodness.... I just signed up with a new bank, and I'm still reeling! It's a totally free checking account, no fees or paying for checks or anything ever.... and, for signing up for direct deposit, they put $100 in my account!! If I sign up for their (free) bill paying service, they'll put another $10 into my account! Whenever I use my check card, I earn a point for every dollar. At 25,000 points, I get a free round trip ticket anywhere in the US! Just for spending my money the way I do anyhow!
And, to top it off, they handed me a $20 gift certificate on the spot for the supermarket they're located in! That's a big deal for me, since I barely have enough money to eat right now. And, when Mark signs up, I'll get a Pyrex serving dish!
Holy cow! How can they do this? I'm totally stunned.
We've got two branches in Ithaca, and it looks like there are about 100 of them in Western NY, especially in the bigger cities like Rochester and Buffalo.
The $100 deal goes until the end of June, after which it goes back to $25, and after June 22nd, the Pyrex dish becomes a water cooler.
I love my new bank!

TCTC were probably the most emotionally charged books I have ever read - they made me laugh, cry, scream at certain characters, and even throw the book across the room at one point. When Covenant did the Really Bad Thing in the first book (you might want to take that out of your post, btw, because it could potentially spoil the book for people who haven't read it) I had to put the book down and walk around stewing for a while. But I picked it up again eventually. I couldn't just stop reading. I had to know what was going to happen.
aka, keep reading. Trust me. It doesn't get any easier or any less frustrating, but it is totally, totally worth it.
And I got back my English term paper today. The only comments written on it were things like "Great," "Excellent," and "Good point." And at the end my teacher wrote, "Great ending, Great writing, Great paper! A."

I just had a lovely bonding experience with two of my dearest girlfriends as we went and saw Montana Shakespeare in the Parks put on As You Like It. It was marvelous and reminded me that yes, there are cultured people left in this sometimes barbarous place and that good entertainment is even better when shared with good friends.

My last Credit Union member of the day, after gathering her things, stopped and looked at me. She smiled and said, "You know, I really like coming here. You tellers are always so nice, and get me out of here as fast as I think is possible. Thank you.", and then she walked off. I was just awe-stricken, I'm sure my jaw had dropped so low that it was touching the counter of my window. Way cool-we only usually get gripes about fees. Posts: 701 | Registered: Jul 1999

Yesterday a friend loaned me A Game of Thrones, which made me happy.
Tonight I finished reading it, which made me happy.
Tomorrow sleep deprivation is going to catch up with me, which will make me cranky.
And then I’ll return it and snag the sequel, and the whole process will begin again. Books are such wonderful things.

My girlfriend called me from Pennsylvania this morning, making me [not care about being] late to work. And then she called me again tonight, from Delaware, and told me she was staying in a house that somebody had mostly moved out of, so there was nothing in it but a little furniture. I thought of being there with her, and that made me happy, too. (Tomorrow she will call me from Philadelphia, and the next day from New York. {jealous})
I think a bath's about to make me happy, too.

And living in a mansion on the river Seine, with views (from the roof) of the Eiffel Tower, The Place du Concord, The Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre (not to mention being less than 2 minutes walking distance away from the Musée D'Orsay, and Tuileries. Later in the week, we'll go to Versailles.
I'm jealous! *misses Hobbes* but I do get to sleep in tomorrow, hoorah for no work on friday! which is why I am online at 3 AM... hum de dum...

Raia~ Paris is so much fun. I have been to all the places you mentioned, plus a couple.
A bit of advice-treasure every moment. I kept a journal while I was there, and it's so much fun going back through it.
While you are there-you simply must visit Le Centre Pompidou! That place is SO awesome. Thier collection of Picasso is so wonderful! AND BETTER YET, THERE'S A (fake) TREE GOING THROUGH THE LOBBY!!! Straight up to the roof some 3 stories up! It's so cool looking!
The Louvre is wonderful-unfortunately, about 1/4 of it was closed down for remodeling (?) while I was in Paris.
Wear walking shoes to Versailles-lots and lots of concrete and rocks all through the gardens.
My hotel was just down the road from Sacre Couer de Montematre-it's quite a hike up all of those steps, but such a beautiful view of all the little shops once you get there!
Have fun! Your having fun will make me happy today!
(Edit to add two things-1)Isn't the metro so stinky! I am convinced it is the reason why I've heard so many people say that Paris smells like pee! 2)Stay away from drunken Italians, they have a tendency to ask you to kiss them! )
I just had a brief and intense craving for asparagus, a vegetable I despise. Is that something that should make me happy?

I realized that, though I may sometimes not be completely satisfied with the girl I am today, I am a million times better than the girl I used to be.
There's always room for improvement, and I can always be a nicer person, but at least I'm not the little brat I was.
I'm happy that the one person from my elementary school with whom I'm still in contact can remind me of this, and I'm happy that she forgives me even though my friends and I were really pretty awful to her back then.

I remembered something today, and I think I really appreciate it more now than when it happened or even when I first realized it.
When my mom first got remarried, we lived with my step-dad's parents for a few months while we waited for our house to close. Right after we moved into our house, his father died. Today we were talking about that time, and it just made me so grateful that I have that connection to my family, because now I am making a more concerted effort to make his family also my family.
