Alice hates ...

I just spent about an hour giving myself a very interesting pedicure. Orange and yellow toes, alternating, with polka dots.

Shhhhi....

I was just admiring, and I noticed a mistake. Dang. I'll have to redo it again soon. Not tonight though, because I've wasted enough time on that as is.

I hung out with a few high school friends tonight, Desiree and Katie. I had a really great time, too. Scored some pictures from my graduation night, and a cute one with my family. It makes me happy, so I'd say it's one I'd consider putting on my desk at work.

Side note: If you're reading this, I need to take some new pictures of you. I'd like some fresh ones. I'll probably spend the next few weeks taking my camera everywhere with me...

I'm watching Pride and Predjudice again. Naturally, this means I've been cleaning my room. Clever, you. ;)

It's one of my favorite scenes. Lizzie, checking out Darveshire, hears music from another room. She drifts over, sees the reflecting of a little girl playing the piano. Clearly, Darcy's sister, Georgiana. The keys falter, girl jumps up, and we see the reflection of Darcy see Lizzie in the other room. Then, the best part, Lizzie runs as fast as she can away, grabbing her skirt to get away as quick as she can. Naturally, he chases her, but I like the scene of her running away anyway. And she's wearing flats, too. I heart.

Okay, enough, enough. Gossip for the interested masses: Lindsay moved back to Phoenix recently for school.

I also spent time with Cassie on Tuesday night. I feel a little bad, I couldn't really entertain her... I met up with her after her closing shift, so we got together around 11 p.m. I was tired, but it's the only time I have to devote to Cassie anyway, so I tried to make the best out of it. We got ice cream from McDonalds and chatted in my car. Amiable, good conversations.

Reminiscent of the hour and long evenings I have shared with the special lady in my life, in my string o' neons.


(Now L is crying, because, Lydia has run away! With Mr. Wickham!)


I also spent time today with Mom and Dad. Also a great time. Everyone was in a good mood, for the most part, but it was another lesson in my ability to keep people from fighting. There were several points in the afternoon when mom or dad would have gotten upset with each other, but I was there to add and extra comment, or make a joke, or redirect conversation...

I think it's the same thing that the Robins were saying when we got back from San Anotonio, that I have some talent for keeping people cheerful?

Maybe. I dunno.

I thought I should blog, but I haven't anything interesting to say...

Oh! Quick Harvest Moon note: I finally found the GODDAMNED STORE. It's silly, really. The fact is there ISN'T a store. I've finally realized it's a strange mix of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life. See, you live and work in the It's a Wonderful Life town (PS2 version, my pro-farming peeps) and you do your shopping over the phone by calling the Friends of Mineral Town stores. And lemme tell you, it's weird calling up your ex-husband (Gray) to upgrade your axe. I tell you, not one kind word from my sexy, brooding blacksmith boy...


(Mr. Darcy? The very insolence of it. What is he thinking, coming here?)



Okay, my loves. Kisses and I'm out.
