Hey, it's my Friday. I'm off these next two days.

Rub it in. But I guess you need your bday off. Do you have plans??

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

Not much -- just dinner with the family. It's always pretty low-key.

There's a party next Saturday for all the May and early June birthdays in our circle of college friends, since we have, like, four in the same three-week span.

Y'all, HYD seems to be fine now. Can you guys get in? Not that I've like, updated, or anything.

Yes, I can get in.

Why don't you update, fool?

I haaaaaaaaaate my job. OK. That's all I have to say about that.

Let's talk wedding stuff or something. Hello? *tap tap tap* Is this thing on? People?

Ha! H!

I know, I need to update. Here is what I would write about, if my site was anonymous:

11 PM last night.

*ring*

Me: Hello?

JCo: Hey, Al.

Me: Hey! How are things?

[insert an hour of fast-paced dialogue]

JCo: So... how's Chris?

Me: Well... things are... good.

JCo: You can tell me. Why wouldn't you tell me?

[insert another hour of fast-paced arguing over how psycho our friendship has been from the beginning and how he should understand why I haven't told him very much about Chris blah blah blah]

JCo: Well, I'm happy for you. If he makes you happy, then I'm happy for you. Good for you. I am, of course, jealous.

Me: Of Chris? No you're not! Don't play with me. This is the way you wanted it. If I'm with someone else, the pressure is off of you.

JCo: No, I really am. My plan now is to wait until y'all are really serious and swoop in one weekend and ruin it.

Me: Very funny.

JCo: I'm not kidding.

People. I hate his ass.

Oh, but don't worry. There's no way that 1) he would EVER make a move and 2) he could ever get me away from the MOC.

He is mean. I can't believe what a mind-game-playing jag he can be sometimes.

But it is a testament to my forward-thinking frame of mind that I hung up, went to bed and fell right to sleep. He and I will always be friends, but he drives me crazy - and not in a good way.

You were probably tired from your long weekend eating cheese.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

Hey, I was just trying to help America. Eat more of it!

Where is everybody?

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

I ate a lot of cheese for breakfast. It was heavenly. Big hunks of goat cheese - the best cheese, as far as I'm concerned.

Y'all. So much to do. So many people to call. I made lists last night, though, which helped my frame of mind.

I'm trying to tell Chris the difference between groomsmen and ushers. He doesn't get why the groomsmen can't be the ushers, too. I mean, they can help, but you need seperate ushers. Joh - Ryan Fitzmorris may very likely be an usher.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

Ah, sweet sweet Ryan. Mmmm, Ryan in a tux. Okay, sorry getting distracted.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

At a wedding your size, yes, you need separate ushers. But not in every case, I don't think. If it's a small wedding, they can be one in the same. At least it worked as such at the smallish weddings I've attended.

Your wedding will seriously be the best party of 2001. Memorial weekend in New Orleans? Does it get better?

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

That's what I'm thinking. We'll need extras, expecially after the groomsmen need to hear to the back and people are still arriving.

T, I think you are probably going to have to ask the MOC to help you make a spreadsheet. It will be called:

South by Lippincott, 2002!

Y'all, Ally McDog is on my very last nerve. If I could just shave her hair all off so I didn't have to keep sweeping it up, everything would be much better.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

Ohhh. I neeeeeeed a spreadsheet. I ordered a binder thing - it only wanted one that was three rings. I'm particular like that. Like, last night, I went to buy a pen to write thank-you notes with. I'm very particular about pens. I went to the Hallmark, assuming that they'd have nicer pens than the Publix. HA. All they had were ball- points. I can't bear to write with a ball point. I hate ball point pens. I went to the Publix and bought a few Pilot V-5's, the best pens evah, and a Pilot P-700, which I am starting to adore.

Do you have a swiffer?

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

T, I am flipping through the current Martha Weddings. My whole office thinks I'm getting married because I've had it on my desk for a month, and every day there are new post its sticking out.

I just like to look at the pictures, ok? I mean, is that so wrong? Damn.

So, anyway, I was wondering what sort of color scheme you might go with.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

I meant, the best party of 2002. I'm all confused.

Yes - AB, Swiffers are the only way to go when you have a pet. Wait. Unless you have carpet and then it does you no good.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

Well, I definitely want to use hydrangeas and magnolias, what with them being in bloom this time of year and all. They have such pretty greenery, too. We want everything to be natural (not in a hippie way), if that makes sense - nothing exotic that would be completely inplausible for New Orleans in late May.

I actually think that magnolia cones would look really neat if properly used in a centerpiece.

So. I'm thinking sort of a subtle hydrangea blue. Let me find a picture...

Sort of like this:

I really love the Currie Bonner designs, actually. They're expensive as all get out, but that doesn't matter as my mother's seamstress will be making the dresses for everyone and she's really inexpensive.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

That all sounds perfect. I do love magnolias.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

I had a Swiffer, but I hated it. It just pushed things around. I'm very partial to my regular old dustmop. But it's the sweeping part I hate.

T, I bought Schaeffer pens, the kind with the ink cartridges, and the cool tips, to write thank-you notes with. I loved them, and they are still in my box of thank-you notes, to rest for all eternity, or until I write a thank-you note.

I think magnolias and hydrangeas will be gorgeous.

Ooo! I love that color. Pretty, pretty.

Aw, Mike. Good update.

AB - are you going to link to crazy S&M Anna Beth?

I think I'm going to add a bio today or tomorrow as a bunch of people on a 3wa thread said they won't read journals without them. And I'm bored.

Did y'all check out that website? CLAZY.

Hannah, I read that 3WA thread and had two words "I. Care."

I mean, who wouldn't read a good journal because it was on a free site?

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

oh well, that's just stupidness, M. Like being on geocities makes you lazy. What-ever.

I'm scared to check out that site at work. Scaaaared. Will do tonight.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

M, I had sort of the same reaction. Those 3WA people can be the pretentious-est fools I ever saw. I mean, "I won't read if you talk about your dog"? Whatev.

Even though I hate it when Beth talks about her dogs.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

Well, Beth loves her dogs more than she loves her freaky, non-bedroom- sharing, boyfriend.

I hate white texts on black backgrounds. But besides that, there's no journal I wouldn't read if the writing was good. And to be honest, I think some journals I read probably have that kind of design, and I'm just not thinking clearly.

I think Stee's is very hard to read, but that's not hurting him any.

The only people I can't read are 14 years old who talk about their broken hearts, or people I can't at all relate to: older, working mothers of 5 or something. Or middle aged British men.

-- Anonymous, May 30, 2001

I think the light text on a dark background looks cool aesthetically, if it's done right, but it really gives me a headache in my eye. Dana's site is like that sometimes.

T, I'll sleep on the couch if Master V is snoring a lot, but I certainly wouldn't make the poor thing have his own bedroom. That's just mean.

And now, for something evil:

From Leigha: "The best underwear that I've ever found was purchased at Sams. I got around 10 pairs for $10, which is a great deal. I loved them so much, and when I went back to buy some more...they don't carry them anymore. I hate the little french cut numbers that they carry now. They ride under my chubby tummy and make me look bigger than I really am. Granny panties, here I come!"

Do y'all think that maybe that's a little too much information for a public forum? I do. And please, people, do not admit you buy your panties at Sam's.
