you worked at victoria's secret?? did you get loads of cheap underwear?? bra shopping is my worst nightmare. but i love underwear. it's a bad situation.

also, more good news: i am getting a care package of cool stuff from jordan tomorrow. and he also bought me a fucking awesome signed and numbered blaine fontana print. AND a hardcover copy of '25 years' by mary ellen mark. AND i'm getting a surprise graduation present.

OK now i'm feeling better about my shitty day.

Yay for all your GOOD news! Wait, if you know about the surprise graduation present, how can it be a surprise?!

Yes, I worked at Victoria's Secret for about a year. I did get tons of cheap underwear, and the bra thing was great. BUT then I decided to have a baby and those bras were never going to fit again. (I'm not complaining, though, since I'll admit having the experience of having a bit more on top was pretty cool). Back when I worked at Victoria's Secret, we were required to wear a SKIRT or DRESS to work!

i don't know what it IS, i just know that i'm getting one. god, i love presents so much.

lxy! the postcards will be ready in a week or two - jordan is sending me vellum sheets to use as the new overlay, since the other one didn't work. and then i shall send one to you!

hurray, ruby! yours is nearly ready, too!

now i will go to the ballet

Ballet? I'm JEALOUS!

I'm going to bed. Before 10 p.m. Because I have to get up insanely early to be at the hospital tomorrow by 7 a.m. SO NERVOUS/EXCITED

So - good night!

THAT SEEMED KIND OF CRAZY. (ALSO, IT WAS CRAZY, AND THEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE.)

Hi. Went to friend's bizarrre family bbq when i was quite drunk, at the end of the bbq i made everyone be quiet and i thanked them for their hospitality and awes food and there was a collective "awwww" in the room. It made me feel good abt the world.

awwwwww!

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, PEOPLE

Dude, I was at the hospital. WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE?

every itr poster who was awake when the title broke needs to offer an effusive statement of why it wasn't their fault.

this may earn me a ban but sometimes i like it broken

excuses? i was buying blueberry poptarts, then i looked at OUR CHARTS!

^_______^

I'm so proud.

OKAY THAT IS REALLY, REALLY COOL

my excuse: i was at the movies watching no country for old men

post from your iphone during intermission

ruby that was hardly effusive, notice how jergins used capital letters and an exclamation mark to good effect in his.

Italics was nice tho.

true.

also there was that elegant colon.

if you say you're off to buy blueberry poptarts you can get away with anything

too right!

APOLOGIES!! I DON'T HAVE AN iPHONE!! I LIVE IN NZ WHERE WE RUN ROUND IN GRASS SKIRTS AND LIVE IN HUTS WITH DIRT FLOORS!! AND EAT BUGS!! AND I'M POSTING HERE USING TELEPATHIC POWERS SINCE WE DON'T HAVE INTERNETS/////

i spent 6 hours in the kitchen preparing super-authentic coq au vin, gingersnaps, and this elegant rice dish for the family -- who wolfed it down con gusto, y hablando solamente in español, porque mi cuñada no habla ingles.

this is the wild, wild life.

i wish i could compile a comprehensive and non-bitchy list of Crap Going On and email it to everyone i know, asking for their patience and telling 'em to back the heck off for a few months

I want super-authentic coq au vin

as super-authentic as it gets

what's a cunada?

brother-in-law. (i found out i was getting one two weeks ago, met him yesterday, will actually become his brother in law on the 14th)

cuñado, i meant -- i mistyped above

Why isn't remy here, cooking for me? ;_;

waht

so this is kind of a weird story, and i guess sorta personal, but yesterday my biological father - who i've met twice, the last time being 9yrs ago - turned up at my restaurant. i didn't speak to him, i was too freaked out. and extremely angry. but the whole thing was super weird, and i've been mulling it over in my head all day. so yeah, BUMP.

thread title is broken. :(

if we continue to be lax on the defense of our thread title, the US will invade and force us to abandon the ITR nuclear energy program

SERIOUS TIMES PEOPLE

omg I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate my job.

why do I have to be here for six hours.

money?

Rubyredd - that is really weird. Or at least it sounds really weird. Maybe not in a good way...?

submitted for the board's consideration, here is my effusive statement:

I AM NOT A VERY GOOD IDIOT, AND FOR THAT I AM SORRY

okay i am happy for my sister and her boyfriend, but i am really sick of them taking a REALLY NOISY shower together it the bathroom EVERY DAMN DAY

also GOING TO BED AT 10:00PM and staying in until 12:30 PM the NEXT DAY EVERY DAY

eww ok I thought the rule for couple showers was you can only do it when no one is home or will be home.

yes! especially your big brother, i think.
