Very Interesting. For my birthday I would like to take a quiet walk alone and then sleep. If you could swing that for me I could try to swing this for you.

Love the tiara! When my sister was in town recently I too went into an accesory store and saw them. I love tiaras but my secret dream is to wear a cape. A full on cape. Without Irony. Do you think I could bring this back into style?

Also, your talent as a storyteller and writer is very apparent in your post with the icecream story. I was engaged and laughing at the same time. One of my top ten favorite posts ever.

And once? When I said I'd track down the pretty actress in Moscow? And you retorted that you were "interesting"? bah. You are interesting and pretty. so there.

You know, when I had a job for which I was overqualified, a job I had only so I could pay the bills and eat, one where I was totally necessary but still had to deal with all kinds of shit from various and sundry people who did not deserve to be in positions of authority, I would occasionally call in sick on a Wednesday or a Thursday, simply because I felt my mental health was as vital to me as my physical health.

(Never a Monday or a Friday, though. HR departments are always on the lookout for people who call in sick just before or just after the weekend.)

It's amazing how good that was for me. I wouldn't do it now, of course, not only because I don't have either sick leave or vacation time, but also because I love what I do and because my overdeveloped sense of responsibility requires that I attend every single class I'm scheduled to teach. But you have both need and opportunity. I suggest you give yourself a little birthday treat and take Wednesday off. With pay. And a cape.

And thank you so much for the lovely compliments. I think I'm funny looking and I can't imagine anything will ever change that. But compliment my writing and I'll love you forever.
