What do you feel like saying, right now?

Just got back from seeing "The Avengers", (for the 2nd time) but this time in IMAX 3D. It was freaking awesome. I went with 5 of my friends, one of them who I haven't seen since we were in vet school together. We had so much fun. We also had dinner at Aubree's Pizzeria and Grill before the movie. It's just fun talking about vet stuff with 5 other vets. I just love being able to talk about work, and to talk about work with people who know exactly what I'm talking about -just how our clients get mad at us when we say we're not quite sure what's wrong with their pets -and how they don't want to pay to run more tests. I mean, it's just that with pets the distance between symptoms and true causes is harder to trace than with people. Pets can't answer questions that might produce clues. Often with a pet, all I have are signs. I understand how anyone could get frustrated, but it's just that sometimes it's far more difficult than people think it is. Nothing against human medicine, but we just don't have that convenience of our patients telling us how they are feeling. We talked about that over dinner, talked about patient horror stories, and understood each other's pain. I had fun.

(Is it bad that this woman's ringtone is BabyMama by Fantasia Barrino?)

iCan't.


That was quite possibly the dirtiest conversation I've ever had about earthquakes and flashfloods. I need some non-Californian friends who don't have their minds in the gutter.

It still hasn't hit me that I'm moving to Ohio in 10 days.

These pain meds have not kicked in yet, so I'm sitting here wondering if a new phrase will be made for 2012 like in 1999. I remember when everyone was worried about Y2K and had the "partying like its 1999" going on. I wonder what will be said for 2011/12 with the whole Mayan end of the world thing...I'm so sleepy but this pain is insane, I'm debating cranking up the dose. Yep, going to find out how much is too much and take less than that...

Apples and oranges. The problem with Y2K had to do with how computers dealt with dates. It was a real and valid problem that companies spent a lot of money to get corrected before it happened. If they hadn't taken those precautions, computer systems which are critical to our first world infrastructure would have failed. The hype wasn't about the world ending, but there was potential for major computer systems to fail affecting our utilities, our ability to get cash, use credit cards, etc. We are so dependent on computers for everything!

The whole Mayan calendar thing is just ridiculous. There is no real threat agent or scientific reason for anything happening that day. It will just be the first day of winter. People will use it as an excuse to party, just as they do with St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo, but the world is not ending and they'll just be hungover.

So it's 4:15am, I'm still studying for my test because I'm now so nervous, I can't sleep...and just realized I read and took notes for 4 articles that aren't even going to be on the test.

I want to throw myself out of this window. I'd only drop 3 feet to the balcony but that is the only action that clearly explains how I feel right now.

When Buffy had to have a leg shaved, we would put a ribbon on it, and tell people who asked that he's learning to tell his left from his right. I doubt that ANY self-respecting cat would put up with that, though.

Hmm...what should I eat?

My schedule over the next month is ridiculous. Ridiculously busy. Every event possible is happening over the next month.

The day of my first date with my husband, I got a haircut. Someone's coming to look at the house tomorrow, and I'm getting a haircut. At this point, I'm doing just about anything to get things going our way. :-)

And, Amendment One is probably going to pass. Hence, marriage in NC will be between one man and one woman.

Ugh. What bigotry.
