thank you mr. universe

Libra September 23 - October 22

For Friday, February 26 -The universe has arranged a gift for you, a little token of appreciation for how wonderful you've been to so many for so long. Your prize is a perfectly peaceful day that's absolutely tailor-made for sharing warm, loving feelings with family and friends. Enjoy it, because you've certainly earned it. Oh, and there may be another little gift on the way. Check out that person across the room -- who's been doing the same to you. Nice smile, huh?

last night

my office hosted a cocktail party for all of our prison guard unions.

close to a hundred people came.

we were expecting thirty.

maybe you don't have a good idea about what prison guards are like. well i'll tell you. they are gigantic and they don't see women a lot.

my fellow paralegal and i were required to attend and we really wanted to hold ourselves to a 2 drink maximum. immediately upon our arrival, we changed that to a 2 drink minimum.

sweating
awkwardness
fondling
drinking
drinking
drinking
awkward fondling
more drinking
ensued.

we also learned how to make beer, wine, and moonshine in the privacy of our own homes. now if that isn't important i don't know what is.

anywho, today is really hard and im so tired and dehydrated.

back to workie.
bye!

i think our souls are made up of a billion little pieces with little pockets that are filled and emptied to make us feel things. it's amazing to think about how you forget these feelings even exist because what are the chances these particles of yourself would be filled up in exactly the same way they once were, making you feel just that exact way. and you don't even know to miss that you feel that way because the second that feeling leaves, you're already completely taken by the next ones. but now that you're back here, in this pocket, that makes you feel just so, it feels really really familiar. and fantastic.

im feeling really familiar and fantastic.
