"I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress."

[kageygirl]

Cold, rainy, cranky, and I've never been so unmotivated to work in my whole life. I once was an overachiever...

When I followed the link at 7am, the Fandango link to the Boston preview of Serenity came up "Unable to process ticket request," which I'm reading as "Sold Out." I hate you, Fandango. Don't you look at me.

I can see that this will be the tone for today.

For kylielee1000 tagged me, and I must obey:

THREE NAMES YOU GO BY:

1. kagey (yup, I answer to that IRL, now, too)
2. [real first name]
3. Ms. [real last name] (I didn't even start that one--I've never in my life asked anyone to call me Ms. anything. I just seem to provoke an instinct in my male friends and coworkers to address me as if I were a dominatrix.)

THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU HAVE HAD:

1. kageygirl
2. elfwrangler
3. Sparky the Mad Elf (don't ask--story is both weird and boring. Though The Boy told me not long ago that he misses me having the domain name www.sparky-the-mad-elf.com .)

2. my hair (though I need a trim)
3. my eyes (except for the myopia, of course)

3. the thought of never doing a single worthwhile thing with my life

I'm wondering what the chances are of me giving notice and quitting my job today. "I have to do some work or I'll get fired" loses much of its motivating force when I hate my job and the pay sucks anyway...

::blinks:: New departmental hire-boy (his name is Bob. I keep having not to say, "All right, we'll go with 'Bob.' Bob...") just walked around and handed out chocolate for no explicit reason. Don't screw with me, Universe, I'm working on getting a good mad on here.

ETA: ... and now, I have tickets. Universe, you are a wily one. Also, squee!

I do love John's fuck you smile.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

I do, too. I'd go so far as to say that he has several. *g*

[wickdzoot.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe.

[coreopsis.livejournal.com]

2. "I'll Be," Edwin McCain (shut up)
awwwww, how sweet. *shuts up now*


New departmental hire-boy (his name is Bob. I keep having not to say, "All right, we'll go with 'Bob.' Bob...")
That just made me laugh out loud.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

awwwww, how sweet.

It's totally my guilty pleasure cheesy love song. The Boy's even gotten used to me singing along with it in the car. (Of course, I sing along with damn near everything I know in the car. *g*)

And this Bob is so completely the anti-Wraith, too. *g* (I have a friend named Steve who moved away, so I haven't spoken to him since SGA's been on, but when I see him again, I'm going to be giggling every time I say, "Hi, Steve." [well, even more than we do because of the movie Multiplicity])

[miera-c.livejournal.com]

I've been having issues with a student this semester and his name is Steve. So every time I think of him, in my head I hear Shep and Ford going, "Hi Steve." "Bye, Steve."

I also wish Ford was here to blast the kid with a taser. Did I just say that out loud? whoops.

[kylielee1000.livejournal.com]

Yes, you have absolutely beautiful hands, and wonderfully beautiful fingernails. I know that many people type with their nails; I just...can't. And I have to keep the nails on my left hand uber-short for the viola playing, and therefore I cut the ones on my right hand uber-short as well, simply to match.

Why quit your job if suddenly things are looking up? Is Bob cute, or is it really all about the chocolate?

TICKETS. TICKETS. Fuck. Can I come down for the screening?

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Why quit your job if suddenly things are looking up? Is Bob cute, or is it really all about the chocolate?

Oh, nothing's looking up--in fact, things here look more and more fucked every day. Bob is cute in the way of small furry things; I wish to avail myself of his chocolate, pat him on the head and send him away.

Can I come down for the screening?

But of course! We still have the spare room, and I have a ticket for you. *bg*

[wickdzoot.livejournal.com]

You know, I forgot about nails in my three girly things list....

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Well, they're just three of however many. I actually had way more than three boy-like things. *g*

[shetiger.livejournal.com]

YOU GOT TICKETS! Yay for you! (also, I hate you a little bit) :)

2. I like shoes. Well, mostly boots. (I've managed not to have The Boy ask me why I need 5 different pairs of black leather boots, which I consider a personal victory.)

Oh, yes. Loooove boots. My husband occasionally remarks on my shoe collection, and I don't even have very many. But he's a man--I've barely gotten him to understand the difference between tennis shoes and dress shoes, and white socks versus black socks. *le sigh* Black leather boots are my passion, though right now I've got this terrific brown suede pair that are my current favorites.

*loves your icon*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

(also, I hate you a little bit)

Completely understood. I'd hate me too. *eg*

*loves your icon*

Thanks--noctuidae made it! My icon skilz are not yet that l33t. *g*

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry the work is still sucking.

However, chocolate for no reason and tickets to "Serenity," have me green with envy.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks, chelle.

I swear, the Universe is playin' possum, trying to convince me it don't suck. I ain't fallin' for it...

(sends Boston-visity vibes to you, so I can give you chocolate just for being you)

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

As soon as I have some disposable income, I'm there.

You don't even have to bribe me with chocolate or Indian food. I'll visit just so I can bask in your hotness.

[misspamela.livejournal.com]

*big fat grin*

I'll be at the Boston showing too! Squee!

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Squee! I'm so excited!

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

i hope that your job gets better, or that the universe helps you find one you love. {{{hugs}}}

and i have so much fun in disneyworld (which is against the rules in my family) it's a great place to go play. i hope you get to go soon. and i'd be happy to give you all sorts of tips, and most important...the location of *all* the bathrooms. *veg*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

::hugs back::

I love Disneyworld. I grew up in Florida, so for a while there, we went every year. Never. Gets. Old. *bg*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

i meet friends there....it's a lot of fun to just let go of the mundane and play. although my family thinks i'm nuts. well, they think i'm nuts anyway. hee!

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

Now I must go meme.

And I am so jealous. The closest place to me for the preview is Atlanta. And, of course, it's sold out. Sigh.

But I have Star Wars Tickets! And Firefly on DVD to console me.

Plus, I have court the day after teh Serenity thing, so I suppose tis a good thing I cannot go...but that doesn't mean I have to like it! :)

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Yay Star Wars tickets! I might actually see that one not on opening day, but on the 22nd. As it will be our sixth wedding anniversary, and then we can make it part of a Big Thing. *g* (Phantom Menace came out the weekend of our wedding. We actually saw it during the little bit we were back in Boston between wedding and leaving for honeymoon.)

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

Now there is a good reason to wait. I refuse to wait - my tickets are for the midnight showing. I hate spoilers. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

You remind me again that I have never ever done a 3 (or 5 or 10) things meme. And then I wonder why my friends thinkg I am a mystery wrapped in an enigma while I think I am an open book ...

Anyway, so it's Kinesthetics?! Huh, I never quite knew how to sum it up and kept saying "movements + mimics". Must remember, coz Kinesthetics is what I fall for as well.
