Wooooo!

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to boannan today! She's actually one of my oldest friends, dating back to the sixth (or maybe seventh) grade. Either way, we met in junior high. I think we had English class together or something. It was her, me, Deb, missrachael, Vicki, Sue, and Katie. We were the clique of dorky girls in our class, though we were brainy-dorky and not just plain-dorky. Then boannan went off to a different high school and we lost touch, until I met uss_hairball in summer school and she was friends with boannan and we briefly rekindled our friendship. And then it went away, and then after college I ran into her in line for an Ani DiFranco concert in Peoria, and it turns out she was also living in C-U, and I became friends with her all over again and met her housemate/future boyfriend/now husband jasunshine, and now we're all back in Chicagoland and in touch and she's just the best ever. Seriously, y'all, you have no idea how happy it makes me that I'm friends with this girl again.

boannan, in your next year I hope that all the good comes to you that you deserve. I hope the clerkship works out wonderfully, and you and jasunshine continue to enjoy your new home, and that life treats you great all the way around. Happy birthday, hon!

( My day so far. )

Overall, I really can't complain. Tonight is grocery shopping. Tomorrow is birthday dinner & doing laundry at the parents' house. Friday night is dinner at Rioja with Deb & Craig, BJ, fava_bean, and boannan. That should be nice. Then Saturday some of the girls are coming over to hang out, drink, and eat pizza. I will be making cupcakes. We may watch Showgirls. Anyone have any suggestions for a Showgirls drinking game? Here are ( my ideas. )

So I've been sitting in at new desk for less than five hours, and all I have to say is this...

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!!

Even with my headphones on, playing loudly, I can hear these people being all yakkity yak yak yak. This is out of control.
