brennaI wish I could convince my apartment people to just give me a new door. This morning the locks were so stuck that if I hadn't had a useless mini side-patio to escape through I would honestly have been trapped indoors. Really glad no one saw me hopping my own fence on my way to and from work today.
Lately whenever I feel like I need some cheering up, I watch this video and imagine the lady is talking to me instead. Adorable and unambiguously affirming voice! Just because! It gives me a happiness and emotional safety boost, and I thought I would share.
Does anyone know why, 10 months into The Greate Dreamwidth Projecte,* the tags for major things like cuts and username-links still have "lj" in them? Is that not going away anytime soon? Is there an alternate way I'm supposed to be doing these? Did I miss a memo?
...Oh! I went to Taco Cabana the other day (for the first time!), and as I was sitting there I noticed that on top of the music they had playing, there was a man's voice just... talking (pretty quietly, so it took me a while to notice it). The two didn't seem to go together musically, but I assumed it must be there to add texture or something-- but then it just kept going. In the breaks between songs I could could tell he was speaking English, and at one point I was able to make out an explanation of the principles of Buddhism. I was going to ask the nice chatty register lady about it when I left, but she was gone by then.
* Has it really been almost a year? WAAAGH

The doors lock behind you. Needless to say, I've had to hop the compound fence several times this year. I eagerly await the day I am required to explain my exit strategy to the nice security people.

I had some similar situations in school, only they involved hiding IN the classrooms (where the still-life setup/photo lab/etc. were) past closing so I could keep working on things. I hope, like me, nothing comes of it and you don't go to prison!
