  1. Oh, I can't remember if I've got any Mayflower ancestry. I've some cool ancestry otherwise, but I don't like to talk about it too much -- from my perspective, my saying "I'm descended from these cool peoples" comes off as bragging, and I worry that it might seem that way to others as well.
  2. I am in Idaho with a crappy internet connection. Hum.

  3. Ah. Thanks! Oh, also re: the whole reading in class thing? I used to do that all the time in elementary. In fact, my 2nd grade teacher, at the end of the year, gave me the So-Absorbed-In-A-Book-The-Teacher-Had-To-Shout-To-Get-My-Attention award.
  4. Er, what? Sorry.... Especially since it seems like the sort of thing I'd find amusing if I understood the reference.
  5. Sounds good to me! Unless, of course, my schedule changes drastically. But I don't think that will happen. *knocks on wood*
  6. @Chaos & cheese is my new default mac & cheese recipe.

    I hope you're happy. :P 

  7. Unless weird crap happens and something changes with my schedule, I've got Tuesdays and Thursdays off work. Either way, looking forward to starting this up again.
  8. It can be a curse, let me tell you -- I used hit my head on customers' car hatches and the clothing cages all the time. It is handy when I need to reach something, though.
  9. I was just browsing the setlists for the other concerts in their tour, and if the theme continues, we're in for a treat.

    I'm so excited, guys. Less than a week. :D 

  10. Honestly, probably just that I'm 6'8". I'm a fairly boring person otherwise.
  11. This is why thrift stores are awesome -- $30, $24 with my employee discount, and it would've been $19 if I'd remembered the coupon in my pocket. It's covered in rust and dust and probably needs a few other repairs, but it's beautiful.
  12. Thanks! It was delicious. Thanks! Hope you feel better, and I wish you the best of luck with your studies.
  13. If I had the time and money to make it over there, you bet I would. But I guess pictures'll have to suffice. May I join?
  14. No joke, my reaction upon first seeing your post was "Yay! Pestis is back!" So as far as I'm concerned, you're always welcome here. As for my contribution to this thread, today. rusting. sucked. Remember a couple months ago, when I said I almost had a breakdown over not wanting to go to work? Yeah, well, today I came this close to actually losing it at work. Actual tears were shed (though not visibly, I hope), and I alternated anger, anguish, despair, and apathy just about my entire shift. The worst part? We didn't even break a thousand cars, which is rather unusual for Saturday -- last week we had 1100. I guess I never really realized how much we depended on volunteers. It helps that I now have a hot foot bath and homemade strawberry ice cream, though.
  15. Looks like the Sandersite's down. <_<-_-

      Or rather, it's an on/off thing. Hum.

  16. Cons of today: Ow; also, minor misunderstanding regarding my work methods. Pros of today: Got complemented on how well I handled a customer. Also, read some quality literature. And I'm home now!
  17. As someone who is not particularly good at music in general, taking that tune I found on the piano and transcribing it onto sheets in such a manner that it does what I want is incredibly frustrating.

      Is it something you want help with? Or did you just need to vent?

      Mostly just venting, really. 

  18. Simple and relevant to your username, evoking imagery of various spren. Which is probably the point. But now you have me curious as to what your old one was.
  19. Was that the Dan Wells one, or something else?
  20. You too, eh? Though I have met him at signings. And met people who are like, "oh yeah, he's in my neighborhood/ward/etc." and leave me just like
  21. I've got a new iPod.

    Its name is Orsino.

    :D 

  22. I took these photos, was it Friday? Yeah. Anyways, closing's got its perks, I have to say that.
