Aw yisssss convinced boss to let me run the meeting tomorrow.

For those interested, Allie Brosh, the author of the Hyperbole and a Half blog did a wonderful (and at times heartwrenching) interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air last night. Definitely worth a listen if you're into her stuff.

The press she has been doing is amazing. Especially considered her social anxiety.
...and the milk's in me.
Sure enough, just like last year at this time, mice have invaded my apartment building. I was awoken at 3AM on the dot by scratch-scratch-scratch in the kitchen wall. Kept me up until 4:30 AM. So, right now I'm struggling to stay awake, mostly by snacking constantly. Ugh.
My first two winters in my house the mice invaded right as it got cold. It was horrible.
But the last two winters they have not. It's a mystery why.
Coincidentally, I have a cat now.
...and the milk's in me.
It's probably a dog.

Maybe it's some sort of time-travel situation, where an alternate you is drugging another alternate you and hiding you-two in your you-zero attic.
I would have guessed Cenobite first. Or maybe a Rat-Demon. Possibly an evil twin. But yours sounds more plausible.
Experienced my first hypnagogic hallucination in over a decade last night. Very minor, though, thankfully. Played right into my annoyance with the mice in the building. No giant floating heads or moving scarecrows this time. (*shudder*)
My urge to dehoard does not extend to my attic. I'm afraid to go up there.
Bringing this back, 'cause it happened again. It's technically happened a few times with some of my friends since then, but this past Friday, a girl I know started opening all these gift-wrapped extravagances from her close friends, and then she opens my envelope with a gift card in it, and I just want to go home and watch Ken Burns instead of being there.
And this other guy I know is really starting to bug me. We've played in a band, and he keeps texting me on Saturdays to practice on Sundays, and then he never texts me back on Sunday until I text him later in the day, and he apologizes because something came up. I do NOT understand this. Why would you not just tell someone you have to cancel? It takes a single fucking minute.
Because people are shit.

I don't think you should expect birthday presents from people outside of your family / partner after you stop having your birthday parties organised by your mothers. You have a job, buy your own shit.
I think we got into this conversation the last time you posted that DaMU, but people in their 20s buying each other birthday presents are weird to me. I don't remember the last time I've been to a birthday party and there are presents involved.

Huh... Seriously?
Maybe it's a yank thing, but if you want to buy presents for your friends, buy them. What's the harm?
Some people I know had a housewarming recently where they insisted everyone bring them a gift... oh yeah they were just renting. I didn't go.
So when are we required to give gifts now? Just weddings or is there more? Baby showers I guess?

The only presents you get after 21 from friends are in the liquid variety. And I encourage it.
It encourages disgusting capitalism.

Encouraging disgusting capitalism will help get us out of this recession. Let's face it, vapid consumerism is the only thing standing between us and the precipice of complete societal collapse.

No one was saying you shouldn't buy people presents if you want to.
Re: birthdays. Yes, it's ridiculous but then most of the customs around gift giving & holidays are silly ("Hey, it's the winter solstice, so. I bought you this thing at the local mall!").
Pro-tip: Do some research & find a good, reasonably priced bottle of wine. Slap a bow on it. Problem solved for any social occasion.
