I’m over my bout of blackness and back to my normal color of deep dark purple. :-)
Been thinking about stuff and how things are shifting around with the people in my life. Very disconcerting.
I’m trying my very best to allow people the space they need to grow the way they need to grow – be it away from me or towards, whatever. It’s hard to do when you’re the Organiser and the Coordinator and suddenly you have no job!
For those of you (you know who you are) who are striking out on new trails and finding new adventures: I miss you, but I know better than to impose that on you. If you want to come over for dinner one night, that would be grand.
On to other oddities. I got a FWD from a girl at a company with whom the Moon does some business. Clearly it was a mistaken FWD so I wrote her back to advise her that she did send out to someone she didn’t mean to. I’m sure she’ll be mortified, but at least I was nice about it. Here is the email she sent:
New STD warning:
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease. This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. The disease is called gonorrhea lectim (pronounced “gonna re-elect him”).
Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed for the past 4 years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease. Cognitive sequelae of individuals infected with gonorrhea lectim include, but are not limited to: anti-social personality disorder traits; inability to tell the truth, delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor; chronic mangling of the English language; extreme cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate new information; pronounced xenophobia; inability to accept responsibility for actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado; uncontrolled facial smirking; ignorance of geography and history; tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and a strong propensity for categorical, all-or-nothing behavior.
The disease is sweeping Washington, trailer parks, and the red states. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant disease originated only a few years ago from a small group of Texas bushes.
I think it’s funny, but she sure should be more careful! Can you imagine sending that to your Republican boss?? LOL
What else? We’ve been busy with social events such as parties and the Decatur Beer Festival this last weekend. Great fun! Although I was booted from being a “Captain” at the fest, most likely due to someone whining about me telling them to put on the Volunteer shirt as I was instructed to do, we had a great time. As it turns out, we had a lot more fun just hanging out and pouring beer than we ever did running our asses off as “Captains”. It was a fun day.
We’ve got Jody’s Halloween Party™ coming up. It’s the 10th Anniversary of the Halloween Party with a theme of “Circus Freaks”. It promises to be a ton of fun. I’m going to be the tattooed lady with snakes and Nick will be my Barker. He’s gonna draw tatts on me with water based markers. I have no idea what outfit I’ll wear.
Well, Nick’s home and we’re off to our local Big Lots! Halloweeny goodness!
