Minor Minutiae of Everyday Life!

My sister is fond of that saying. It makes me feel that she is a pseudo-intellectual, and therefore, resent her. More than I already do.

T is at the airport, awaiting his flight home from Vegas. Yes, he did witness the Monte Carlo in flames, and yes, I did have a small mental breakdown thinking he was going to be mugged, stabbed, run over or otherwise maimed in some way while this was happening. (I knew he wasn't IN the Monte Carlo, which is his fave, because he called me from the Drunk Shuttle to tell me it was on fire. Which may be the smartest move he has made while in a relationship with me next to the time he learned the statement "Whatever you want, honey.") I am a horrible, horrible worrier. Full time job. Made myself hysterical and almost ill when I thought about him flying without me.

I hate to fly, but apparently I need to be present in all planes to keep them UP. (Plane Viagra, whathaveyou.)

T, being the patient soul that he is, humored me. And he is safe.

But until I get the call that he is safely off the plane, I will worry.

Blog Fodder, how I love you.

Ten things you wish you could say to 10 different people right now (don't list names):

1. I think you will someday get what you deserve, and that is the only thing keeping me from verbally or physically assaulting you in some way, so deep is my contempt for you.
2. You made your bed, now stop complaining about the sheets.
3. I love you, but I know that we will never be friends the way I think we could be because of my feelings about God. And that makes me sad.
4. It enrages me that you have no concept of how much pain you have caused those around you, and all you look at is either what you have to gain from a situation or how you can manipulate it to make yourself look like the victim.
5. I think you are probably a two-faced liar, but I can't prove it. If I can, I will make sure you go down in flames. But I have more important things to do.
6. In a perfect world, everything would smooth itself out. But it's not, and it's not going to.
7. You are a really, really bad mother.
8. Your semi-charmed life is one of my pieces of evidence that life is clearly unfair.
9. I will never change some things about myself, no matter how hard you try and make me. And I am sorry that it hurts you, but that's the reality of the situation.
10. Go fuck yourself.

Nine things about yourself:

1. I have more books than I will ever read, and I buy more constantly.
2. Having a clean house makes me calm, but I hate to clean. So I stress a lot.
3. One of the easiest ways to upset me is to call into question my intelligence.
4. I drink coffee all day, every day. If I can't for some reason, I am sick and very, very unhappy.
5. I am depressed far more than anyone knows.
6. Mold of any kind, especially on food, will make me gag. Always.
7. I am just starting to think I might be pretty.
8. I hate to have my pinkie toes or collarbones touched.
9. I am terrified that I will be "stuck" in my life.
