Virgo:: HELP WANTED: looking for a smart operator who has expertise in both rebellion and compromise. Must be willing to break taboos if necessary in order to help people, but must also be a sensitive and empathetic collaborator who's skilled at creating harmonious solutions. Are you a rugged individualist with a strong sense of self or are you a community builder who can get along with a wide variety of human types? Both, hopefully. Be a good listener who expresses yourself clearly.

1. FRIDAY. FOUR-DAY WEEKEND. WOOT.

2. Busy busy weekend. Tonight-- hanging out in Annapolis with my McDaniel Girls. Tomorrow night: sushi and clubbing with the fabulous brapolitics. Sunday-- Gaelic Storm concert with Yancy & Elise. Monday-- Hiking with Yancy, Trader Joe's run, and THA RACKLE FACTOR. Tuesday-- 4th of July in Georgetown. Tuesday night-- COLLAPSE. Dude, when did I get social?

3. Since I'll be living out of my knapsack for the next three days, I made a list for my own benefit. ( List!Collapse )

4. Today's funny Laurell K. Hamilton quote (because really, there are enough to make this a daily event):

"Let's not pretend, Merry. We know why you're here, why we're both here. It's the bedroom." He opened the door, and it was the bedroom.

I could have chosen the one about how having sex with dark-haired, 5 foot tall men with strange, soap-opera-like names makes the missionary position "unbelievably intimate," but I didn't. PS-- you know, of course when I kiss a new chick, the first thing I notice and announce to her is that she's not wearing any makeup foundation. I did, however, spend most of my night reading my favorite sentences aloud to my roommate. Brilliant! To steal last summer's catchphrase, this shit is bananas.

5. ( Acupuncture, part II.Collapse )

6. If you tried to call me last night, try again. My phone was acting up. In fact, this morning, I had a message from Yancy that sounded like "Hey Chris, it's Yancy... bzzzzzzzzt buzz buzz horrible chainsaw static bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt." So erm, try again. Or email me.

7. Heh. Summer Glau was featured on Go Fug Yourself.

8. I feel strangely optimistic today. Hunh.
