Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

Why therapist otm? He's right, over-reaching can lead to trouble if disappointment really would mess you up.

The sneeze thing came about when I was a kid. I didn't like then or now to spit on people or my own hand so I internalised it. Yes, I was a weird kid and am a weird adult. (xxxpost)

Buy a car and go to work!

Well we can't go to work now, just when Surmounter arrives! It will seem rude.

gooday, so nice out

If you're anything to go by from upthread is it raining cats and dogs with a chill wind from the north?

She is almost always OTM. I've seen her since I was 19 and when she tells me a way to go I trust her. She knows me well enough to be right when my over-analyzing, self-deprecating mind can't make a decision. sigh.

argh, CSS sucks for me and I'm too stubborn to ask for help. Also I'm hungry and only brought a bag of snow peas for snacking which doesn't go with the latte I have at the moment.

Where's someone like Kate or Chaki to come along and insult me and/or tell me to STFU when I need them?

Sorry, wrong thread.

I have been watching TEH TUDORS on Irish telly. Man, it's RUBBISH.

Okay, I'm going back to work now too.

hahaha kv, it's actually not BUT the wind in my 4th floor flat last night was howling hooting and COLD, and this morning was a chilly one as well, so... this crispness, it's got me goin

Ms. M, none of that here. Don't be summoning herself please.

Teh tudors is a pain. Fine looking corkman in the lead so keep supporting your fellow countrymen!

Sur that sounds like a class night actually. This morning I woke up slightly onimo-ed and was grateful for lack of glare.

Onimo-ed! On a Wed.! For shame, young man.

I just hate it when I ramble on. It's the stress and caffeine. I caved and asked for help from my co-worker. Made some good decisions to get me out of my stucked-ness. Time to head 'em out now.

I know u_u

Going to second last house viewing tonight then "Knocked Up". Looking forwards to it!

Knocked-up is pretty funny. Is Superbad out there yet?

Good luck with the house.

It should be I think.

Thanks. Very nervewracking. I think that's where the need to have a smoke buzz is coming from :(

Why are people such bad and stupid drivers in Los Angeles? I just turned right onto the street my work building is on, behind some ditzy bitch in a Mini, who stopped in the middle of the street for no apparent reason, sat there for a full 30 seconds looking around like she didn't know where she was (I'd have gone around her except for the opposing traffic) and then, without looking, started to back up and before I laid on the horn, came within about 2" of taking out the front end of my car, and when I DID lay on the horn, she gave me the finger. ARGH.

I feel as though I am slightly onimoed, but I did nothing last night to onimo myself. Rats. How are y'all?

Drivers suck all over the world.

I am counting the minutes till pub time, going to watch Scotland get stuffed tonight.

Stoked for the next week, three kids birthdays in 6 days, starting tomorrow. I'd better not get too onimoed.

My oldest son is 8 tomorrow! I seem to have mislaid some years :/

HB Onimo JR!

Oh crap. Bit early. Soz.

Mine is 10 on Friday - when did THAT happen?

Good luna! How are you besides driver-frazzled? I don't look forward to reigniting that stress once I get a car.

argh, my ADD-ness is killing me. My psych and I have talked about prescribing something but I've put it off until the thyroid meds are worked out. I don't want to start two concentration-affecting things at the same time.

But seriously, this is getting on my nerves.

You parents, making us all feel like slackers.

Also scheduling meetings with 10 people from different departments = supreme pain in the ass.

Oh, I'm okay, Sam. It's "one of those days" and I'm trying to pretend it's not. I woke up at 515 for no apparent reason and couldn't go back to sleep, Spencer was a total jerk this morning before I dropped him off at school, and then after the chick in the Mini, my boss yelled at me because I was three minutes late. But yeah, otherwise, I feel okay so far!

Onimo, you know I'm usually a francophile, but you beat them last time, albeit at home, and they don't have Henry, so take heart. Man, I don't like Domenech.

xpost

three minutes! what a dick.

S. is entering the tweens huh? Probably much more jerkiness to come.

Three minutes late?! Wow...

Oh there is, and I am not looking forward to it.

For no very good reason I feel weird because I just had next door's kid in my house and brought her upstairs to introduce her to Rory. I felt as though I was doing something very wrong.

I watch too much television and overthink everything.

Oh no, disaster! These cans of beerzlol that my mother gave me go out of date in a week! Arrgh! I'll just have to drink them.

beers go out of a date? yes you should drink them.

And not worry about neighbor's kid. Have you met her parents?

I wonder if coconut cake and raspberry lambic go together well? I'll just have to make a coconut cake and find out.

I have a funeral home visitation this afternoon and the funeral tomorrow to go to. One of my aunts passed away over the weekend.

My condolences, Rock.

Taken in sufficient quantities your lambic should 'go' with almost anything though I find that stuff a little sweet, generally.

I'm sorry about your aunt, Rock.

And not worry about neighbor's kid. Have you met her parents?

Oh yes. They are my next door neighbours. We know each other reasonably well. I mind their cat when they go on holidays.

Thanks, guys. I felt bad for her because she took care of her mother (who had Alzheimers) for years and years, and only had a brief window of decent health and the freedom to enjoy it before her own body started breaking down. Now my uncle, who's been taking care of my aunt, is into his 90s. I swear, eskimo ice floes or Soylent Green-style go-to-sleep centers are the way to go.

My condolences as well, Rock.

Well, Onimo, what did I tell you?

Condolences, Rock Hardy. I'm sure her window of fun-opportunity was GREAT, after all that care-giving!

Luna, you should have rear-ended that Minibitch. God.

Someone once told me that the reason why nobody in LA can drive is because they're all New Yorkers who came out to the west coast and have never really driven since getting their licenses.

My boss, when I worked there many moon ago, would regularly call me from her car phone and then say "Oh, I need to go," accompanied by the sound of car horns in the background. She is a terrible driver. Stay away from her.

I wanted to Beth, believe me. When she shot me the bird, I was seriously considering (for a nanosecond) putting my car in park and getting out to talk to her. Better judgment and being late for work made me decide against it.

Trish, your old boss sounds like my current boss. She's the only person I know to ever have had her car door ripped off by a passing bus. ("But I didn't see it... I just opened my door and then it was gone!")

Also, many people in LA can't drive because they're FOB and don't bother with such silly things as the DMV. "I know how to drive, I'm just gonna do it!" Sadly, for most of them, "I know how to drive" is really not at all based in reality. Kind of like how picking up a tennis ball doesn't mean you won Wimbledon.

FOB?

Oh no, disaster! These cans of beerzlol that my mother gave me go out of date in a week! Arrgh! I'll just have to drink them.

YAY! Or get a buzz off of stale beer like in Bloom County.

when I worked there many moon ago

In LA?? I didn't know that. Woman of mystery is accentmonkey!

I am not onimoed, considering last night, but I believe he kind of is.

Oh yeah, didn't your team win something in something or other that I believe we lost in?

I don't pay much attention to the world.

Kev-lol, yes, back in my younger days when I wanted to be a television writer, I moved to LA for a year and worked as an assistant to the world's best boss. Best because she gave me a fund of insane stories to take back to the real world, and has made me appreciate the sanity of every job I've had since then.

I only lasted a year in LA, though, because I got lonely for home (nobody had email or Fasebuk or the money to come and visit me then) and shit went very wrong for littlest brother, so I had to come home. Sigh.

Onimo, you know I'm usually a francophile, but you beat them last time, albeit at home, and they don't have Henry, so take heart. Man, I don't like Domenech.

Hi dere Michael. I took heart! And beer! So dying but I don't care. What a night.

Antonin Artaud, Victor Hugo, Marquis de Sade, Marquis de Sade, Maurice Ravel, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, erm, Jean-Luc Picard out of Star Trek! your boys took a hell of a beating!

(famous French people have great names!)

Marquis de Sade! So good they named him twice!

Should've put Marcel Marceau in.

onimoed all to hell tbh. Dunno how I made it to work. Had to get up early for Mark to open his pressies.
"Dad this is great!"
"urgh"
"Dad look!"
"urgh"
"Dad! Dad! Dad!"
" "

"Mark, let me tell you a little something about growing old..."

Happy birthday to him, btw.

Or "hey! You know what's fun on birthdays? Bringing dad a cool, wet facecloth to put over his forehead, and then bringing him a new one every half an hour! Oh boy!"

Now my wee brother's texting me asking how to build a computer. Fuck off you tit! You were in the pub! You saw me getting POURED into a taxi!

Happy birthday l'il Onimo! Accentmonkey, that sounds like an adventure!

I am not onimoed (though I kind of should be...) Knocked Up v. disappointing.

You know how to build computers onimo? Iiiiinteresting. I might be trying to rack your brains at some point.

Hangovers suck though. Do you have to work today?

I am relieved Ireland aren't through. Less manic patriotism to wade through in my morning papers!

Yes, but now the endless attempts to blame someone, when the fact is that no other nation on earth with a population of four and half million people gets this bent out of shape when it doesn't make it to the important stages of a soccer competition.
