An Atypical Life

Tonight on IRC I got this quote:

> a wise man once said “you can’t look dignified when
you’re having fun” so live by that! :p

What a dimwit I’ve been. I’ve been grumpy in the faces of everyone around me who’s having a great time, just because I’m not happy about some miniscule detail in a totally separate area of my life that’s, 9 times out of 10, no one’s fault. I often miss the fun that I myself am having! What a waste, eh?

Thanks, man — your IRC one-liner today made a huge difference in my life. :D

Yes, that 4-pack of Palmolive is from Bi-Way, and cost $1.19:

And that blue bar is Fiesta!

Everyone here now wants to poke through her house and see what other ancient treasure we can find…though we’d have to be sure to avoid the asbestos potholder drawer…

I’m reading your LJ posts again. It’s fun. I missed a lot of you. Sorry it took me so long to figure out how to make it work for me.
