I am beginning to fear last week's episode of South Park may stay in my mind forever. I cannot stop singing the songs. I had a woman at work look at me funny the other morning because I think she overheard me singing "you do a line and I'll do a line, honey..."
There is nothing like one's LJ friends list to put one's problems in proper perspective. Here I've been all mopey and gothy because I don't have a girlfriend, don't get enough sleep, procrastinate, and occasionally give people the rough side of my tongue, and today I tune in to find people coping with bizarre perscription drug side effects that leave their feet numb, suicides, sexual assaults in the middle school classroom, airborne panic attacks, indifferent and uncaring doctors who ignore their patients' problems, and even, of all things, public transit worker strikes in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul area. The only thing my list is currently missing is someone doing an update on sports and someone else doing an update on weather.
My best wishes go out to everyone who's having such a bad time right now. It makes me sad that I'm so far away and can't do anything to help aside from throw empty lj words that don't help in the long or short run at all. But for what it's worth, I've grown to love all you guys and when you feel bad, I feel bad too.
Then there's
megiloth who through it all just happily chugs beer, watches 80's metal videos, and pines for his backdoor redheads :)
I've gotten very spoiled getting to chat with
nolens_volens every night for the past four days. Now with my weekly gaming engagements, the trek to see Kill Bill vol. 2 Friday night, the Shakespeare performance Saturday night and a trek out of town for a big L5R tournament on Sunday it looks like we won't get to do it again until next week :( I guess this just means we'll have a lot to talk about when we do chat again. Good luck with the job search, babe!
Having re-established my perspective on life, I think I'm gonna go enjoy the other half of my Subway sandwich and do some reading before the people start getting here.

Thanks for your support. Odd how quickly we can start caring about the well being of people we have never even met.
