Reasons To Frown

1. I think someone on lj just spoiled me for BSG. It was about my favorite character. I'm going to kill someone.
2. I haven't gotten to see Dollhouse yet. This makes me really sad.
3. I agreed to work a lot of overtime for work. I agreed to it, so I can't complain. But I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have, not because I can't handle the work, but because I probably won't be able to handle the stress.
4. There's this boy. When I first met this boy I said to myself, "Darling [that is what I call myself, naturally], you should like this boy." Abstractly I do. He's bizarre and really weird and unfortunately awkward (which I always like), and friendly and kind and insightful and thoughtful, and likes things I like--things like Ideas and Dreams, not just music and TV and stuff, and is taller and hairier than me, which I require, and he's clever, and passionate, and has a job, and doesn't smoke, and doesn't party all the time and do drugs and drink a lot, and will go to the theater. Abstractly he's amazing. In real life he drives me up the wall and I want to beat him over the head with things, hard things that make him hurt and possibly mould him like putty into someone I don't want to push off a cliff.
5. Kids have midwinter break now, which means the museum where I work will be very crowded. We are short staffed, and did I mention the overtime thing?
6. I can't sleep any more.
7. I realized I have paid at least $180 in fines to my bank that I didn't know about.
8. This LJ thing really relaxes me, because I want to blow off steam, you know, or sometimes just say things. But it frustrates me too, the whole not-wasting time thing, and not-writing ginormous post thing.
9. Everyone else has tomorrow off.
10. Today I had three donuts, cake, icecream, and a Reese's. I feel really gross.
11. For the past two weeks I haven't had two days off together, so every day off I just felt like I was trying to catch up on sleep and laundry and grocery shopping and feeling whole again, without getting anything done.
12. I actually really want to work on my original writing now, and don't feel like I have time. Of course instead I'm writing lists.
13. I'm in charge of people at work and worry that I fail them every day.
14. I've been trying for two weeks to finish a beta for [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene and catch up with [livejournal.com profile] marmalade_fish, and have failed spectacularly.
15. The internets and the tv are fucked up and I want to clean the bathroom and [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga had to miss Sweeny Todd to get us toilet paper and my room is really messy and I'll probably never get it clean again.

Things that make me happy:
1. [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga and household.
2. My job.
3. Reconnecting with my first internet friend.
4. Knife, by [livejournal.com profile] rj_anderson
5. How many on my flist have read the Vorkosigan saga.
6. Joss show.
7. Cake.
8. Reworking a short story from college.
9. Money.
10. My parents.
11. The world.
12. Having a car.

Goodluck not wanting to push people off a cliff.

I really don't think you are failing people at work. I'm pretty sure of that.

I don't actually think I am either, but I always *feel* like it. But thanks so much.

Hope everything is going awesome with you :o)

You're welcome.

eh, things are wonky all around. Mostly good but also frustrating and really busy.

I'll be visiting Seattle again on March 6th&7th. Any chance we could hang out that weekend?

That would be awesome! I'm busy night of the 6th but any other time is good. Let's do something cool; I dunno what.

I saw this and for some reason thought of you. Possibly because I caught a cashier reading Owly the other day ;o)

Bad news. I won't be able to visit this weekend. :(
I'm getting a cold and it is snowing here for the next few days. I don't want to risk the icky driving conditions or getting sicker.

I'll just postpone things until the 14th/15th. Any chance you're free on either of those days?
