Jessica: we had cupcakes yesterday
more arrived today
me: whoa
Jessica: and they suddenly disappeared all at once
and NO ONE IS FESSING UP
me: WHOA
that's almost worse!
Jessica: there is a thief in our midst!
a cupcake thief!
the very worst kind
me: that is the worst kind of thief!

Jessica: who steals a BOX OF CUPCAKES?
heartless
me: so cruel
Jessica: seriously
me: any leads?
Jessica: i have my suspects

me: excellent

Jessica: i know

What kind of world to we live in where cupcakes get stolen?

Wow...

Conversation with Brian:

Brian: did you see the cake Erin made for Matt, the warcraft one?
me: I did online, yes
but not in person, since that was when I had the dying coworker party
Brian: so I was bored this morning, and decided to doodle the horde symbol from her cake on the side of my coffee cup (it's on the side of the cake, it looks cool)
... but I'm not quite awake, and didn't really envision it well
soooo I drew a penis on my coffee cup
me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Brian: yeah
me: wow
Brian: ...yeah
exactly! damn youse, wow
me: zing!

The incredible, edible egg

I heart Tim:

Me: i have lots of eggs in many different baskets
Tim: haha for a second i thought that was literal
Me: oh lord no
Tim: i was gonna be like "oooh poach them!"

Slowly making fewer and fewer friends in India

This is a gchat conversation I just had with my friend Brian. Yeah...

Me: So my story is that part of my job I assign projects to our team in India.

Brian: Okay.

Me: And the sentence was supposed to say "if you have any questions, please let me, Chris, or Alex know".

But instead, since I originally wrote Christopher, it said "if you have any questions, please let me, Christ, or Alex know".

To our team in India.

Who is Hindu.

Brian: hahahahahahaahahahahaha


FML.

Sums up the post-photos blizzard

Just saw my roommate's boyfriend not wearing pants. So I told Tim this via IM:

Me: I just saw Sarah's boyfriend not wearing pants.
Tim: All of Ann's roommates...well all one of them have seen me in such a state.
Tim: Also I'm drunk.
Me: Neither of these things surprise me.

Are you kidding me? Seriously?

Ohhh AIM, how you manage to cause so many problems sometimes.

So because I'm at a tech company, and sometimes it's easier to be on IM to ask each other questions than get up from our desks to do it (maybe it's not the tech company part, but the "we're lazy" party?) I have a few key home/college friends on my buddy list to chat with when I'm at work. This also includes... exboyfriend Justin.

I clicked on his name today to see what was his deal (he is almost never on) and it said something like "Singer songwriter extraordinaire, teacher, bartender... homeowner?"

And I thought... are you kidding me?

Not that I'm sour grapes, but he's buying a house? He has his life that much more together, or at least his finances as well all know that perhaps his personal life is a shambles, that he could feasibly buy a house? I also realize that doesn't have car loans, probably very small student loans, lives in Central Mass, and has cheaper rent, but how is this possible?

I feel like things somehow come very easy for him from time to time. Or maybe this is just the wake up call for me to get my finances in order so that I can also try to swing these unreachable things. I don't know.

It's not that I do not want things to come easy for him, or for him to be miserable all the time, but I also don't want to feel like I'm living paycheck to paycheck, and he can make these investments. I don't know, it caught me off guard.

I talked to Tim about it, and I quote:

Me: It just blows my mind
Me: Maybe he has a sugar mama
Me: Like a cougar
Tim: Oh I bet he does
Tim: Except not a MILF cougar
Tim: A bad kind of cougar

9:29: Obama 195, McCain 70

Mich0012 (9:29:57 PM): it pleases me to see the plump baby-headed visage of karl rove call ohio for obama


Me too!

9:12: Obama 175, McCain 64

This is a milk glass, that was filled, and it's almost done. I'm also chatting with Michnya and Michelle. 2012, we need to have our own political commentary. It'll beat the pants off of NBC.

It's a white wine, if you can't tell. And some npr.org and AIM action.

Man, I wish TN wasn't so far away!!

8:51: Obama 103, McCain 34

Chatting with Michnya online. I think if I was drinking, watching it with the Miches, and commenting with them, this would be a wonderful night.

Glass 1 of wine is over. Lush status, here we come!

Also, Michelle is drinking boxed wine. Lushes in MA and TN!

Sam Bam is in the Top 5 of the funniest people I know. There. I said it.

My brother Sam is one of the funniest people I know. Without a doubt. Here are some gems from a Friday conversation regarding having to go to Thanksgiving with our Deadbeat and Emotionally Distant and Crippling dad. WARNING! We swear a lot:


Me: fuck, it was a gorrell thanksgiving last year
Me: because i have a picture of us making fun of joe
Sam: I thought I remembered not being miserable
Sam: FUCK


Me: cue the "you just lose a pricing game on the price is right" music
Sam: bwaaaaaaa
Me: you just sent the mountain man over the edge, buddy
Sam: it was a toaster...a fucking toaster!
Sam: CURSES!

Yep, I love that we compare having to eat Thanksgiving to losing the Mountain Climber Game on the Price is Right. Don't you?
