Okay, kids, serious subject:
I have been having these completely epic sneezes tonight. Like, tooth-rattling, fall-off-the-chair sneezes. They almost hurt my chest, they're so violent.
I just had one, and I literally popped a barrette out of my hair.
Also, there was a girl in my third-grade class who I thought was named "barrette" and it honestly just occured to me this moment that her name was probably "Brett."
Yikes. Not fun. There's something really intense about glass shattering behind you. It really caught me by surprise.Quote:

Got 16/20 and I feel fairly stupid about the ones I missed.
As did I. And, holy crap, I'm not going to mention the people I forgot, not because it would hurt feelings, but because I'm completely embarrassed for myself.Quote:

I love you all, but once the brainfart starts, it doesn't stop for a while.
I remembered Boner, but I didn't remember that he was Boner M.
Grieving for a friend who lost her father today. I'm just appalled, because I just don't think the death itself could have been much worse.
It was
1) sudden, the result of an accident, but it
2) took him a very long time to die (about 16 hours) during which
3) he was conscious enough to feel pain but
4) not conscious enough to speak to family members or say goodbye.
5) The family witnessed the accident, which was
6) traumatic, and involved blood, and then they had to
7) make the decision to take him off the respirator when he became brain dead.
HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE.
And (I wish I was making this up) their mother has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery two weeks ago, and is scheduled to begin chemotherapy in three weeks.
It's a nightmare.
Plus my friend and one of her sisters are both pregnant.
I got 17/20 on the survey.
I missed MadMan, Derek and soitgoes.
Two out of those three I should have gotten. And no one really notices Derek.
I got 17/20, and missed Sven, Sycophant and soitgoes. I also typed my name and don't understand why I'm not on the list.
Sorry to hear that, Mara. Nothing to do in this situation except offer any and all support possible to the family.Quote:

Arghhhhhhh I missed Mara (somehow) and ETM because I forgot to put the []!!!!!
Fun Survey.
This also tripped me up.Quote:

Heh, and heh.Quote:

I finally found a good home for my cat Cleo. She and I just haven't adjusted well together to our new apartment life. My allergies have gone crazy, and she is totally bored because she can't run and play outside anymore.
Anyhow, she's going to live on a big ranch in Yakima, along with a few other cats, dogs, and farm animals. She'll be able to run around and have fun again.
I'll totally miss her, as she is the friendliest and most loving cat in the world - and that is not an exaggeration. She used to run outside if she saw someone walking down the street just to meet them; she used to walk over to a small law firm down the street and maker herself at home in their conference room while they were having meetings; and she used to walk to the police station and hang out with the cops.
