bryon and i have so much freaking fun at work, it ought to be illegal. there are days when i end up all crampy and phlegmy from sustained laughter. i'm going to miss him when he leaves, more than i can say. it's been a long time since someone "got" my sense of humour like he does. damn. why does he have to have a family and responsibilities? he would make the best best friend in the world.

also, two of the kids at work i never really noticed before have turned out to be really chill, as well. kyle and steve and i are the new crew, the way andy and matt and i were the old crew.

ummm...not much else. my court date was postponed, so now i can spend mom's birthday with her instead of in front of a judge. and....hmmm.....K and i are really getting along (via e-mail) lately, which is nice. makes me much saner.

steve loves neil diamond. even though he hates all the music i really like, at least we can bond over cheese. he loves chicago, too. yay! we had a three-hour neil diamond party on saturday. surprised we both left work alive after inflicting that on everyone.

oh, and bryon and i made up a new word today: "flouching"--rhymes with "touching"--that not-at-all-casual brush of hands when two people are attracted to each other but are trying to suss out the situation before going any further. that brush of the hands that, when good, is electric.....when it's bad, it's just bad, and you recoil from the person flouching you. i have been flouched a few times lately. results inconclusive.
