The Great LiveJournal
Outage of 2005

During the outage I got a life. Upon discovering LJ again lived, I happily disposed of it.

Last night I flooded my downstairs neighbor's bathnroom. I was in my apartment enjoying a nice hot shower when I heard someone banging on my front door. Hopped out, discovered a giagantic puddle on my bathroom floor, threw on my bathrobe, and ran downstairs, the terry cloth sticking to my soaking wet body. I openned my door and there was my landlady and my downstairs neighbor Kevin mopping up a massive puddle in the hallway. John came up and looked at my shower. He determind that there was a leak in the shower door so today they're gonna buy me a curtain to keep the water from flowing out of the stall.

I actually did get a life this weekend, as the openning meme indicates. Saturday, after spending my workday playing PowerPets and checking every five minutes to see if LJ was back up, I called Andrew and got him to take me to the movies. We went to see Elektra. His choice, not mine. Was it an amazing super-hero film? No. Was it a perfectly good way to waste an hour and a half? Yes.

Yesterday I had lunch with Elisabeth. That was nice since I hadn't seen her since the summer. I went over to her place, met her new dog. We ate at Uno's and had a nice long chat about how awesome it is to live alone. Then we went thrifting. There's a nice big Goodwill by her house so we spent a little time in there. Then I went back up to her apartment and checked my email. Found what sounded like an urgent email from Gayle saying that she wanted to talk to me and why the hell wasn't I online? Of course I immediately thought the worst, that someone had died, or gotten pregnant...or maybe gotten prgnant and then died. Anyway, I hightailed it home so I could call her, and much to my relief when I did...there was nothing wrong. Gayle just wanted to talk to me cause she felt like it. We spoke for almost an hour and that was nice because I haven't spoken to her on the phone in ages. And even though we didn't have anything exciting to tell each other, it was still a good talk. You need to have some human contact with your friends every once in a while.

I had every intention of writing a long ruminative entry today. But I'm working a 9-5 shift at work today, all this week actually, so I don't really have the time. So you probably won't hear much from me in the next week. Must wait until A) I return to the 2-10 shift, or B) I finally cave and get internt at my house.

But before I leave ( I give you the answers to the 4 Lies Meme )
