Self doubt is awful. Especially when magnified / encouraged by waiting to hear (hopefully good) news.

Honey, if he doesn't appreciate it smack him and FedEx that meal to me. Because it will be appreciated.

I just have a weird knack for remembering gifty ideas for people. Calculus? Nope. Chemical formulas? Nope. The fact that my Uncle Jim wants but will never buy himself a potato masher & a few well chosen gnocchi…

It's my hobby / obsession. People will get something totally random that they mentioned in passing one time back in February. It might be a sickness ;)

Seriously though, I love your idea of cooking a really kick ass meal for him. Maybe try to find out about a meal that he remembers fondly (whether it was a family…

I was in a financially un-even relationship where dude made like, ten times the annual salary I did if I got my bonus. It was ridiculous.

But - I always managed to top him in the gift department. Sure, he could drop a painfully large amount of money on something fancy that would make me grin, but I could get him a…

That is so freakin' awesome! Congratulations!

HEDGIE! I miss my hedgie.

Thank you! I keep telling myself the interview actually did go well and I'm being silly, but it's kinda hard to believe when I'm throwing myself a nice little pity party in tandem.

This week. THIS WEEK.

I had my fourth job interview for the awesome company that I've wanted to work for for many years on Wednesday. I can't decide if it went really well and they liked me, or if everyone was just super friendly and I was just okay. Normally I'm a rockstar at these things, but my nerves are so fried…

Doug, seriously? Susan Boyle is diagnosed with ASD and you're .... catty?
ASD people are socially awkward and uncomfortable, partially because a lot of us a highly sensitive. If she read this, she'd probably be in tears. From another kick-ass woman with ASD, fuck you very much.

I think he has a bit of a Mick Jagger thing going. Not exactly pretty in the conventional sense, but he does have a *something* that makes panties drop.

Thank you! I'm super, super excited about the interview - at this point I've gone though so many with them that I think even if they don't chose me for the specific position I'm applying for, I'd be a solid candidate for future openings in a similar position - and I'm trying not too get too excited about Guy, because…

I'm currently in bio flashcard hell. HELL. And I love biology.

I can not wait for this quarter to be over so I can glitterfy everything in our house for the holidays!

I know you haven't changed birth control, but has your BC changed? Sometimes companies will change ingredient levels (or whole ingredients) without giving anyone a heads up.

I have no stories, only here to commiserate with the guy obsessing and lurk on the stories you get!

Janelle! We're like Spirit Animal Conjoined Twins!

THE Guy is recently divorced; has been separated for longer. He has a son in 2nd grade... so old enough to understand the shitty things his mom might say about his dad, but not old enough to separate what she says in anger from what's actually happening in reality.…

Wooo! After a somewhat very shitty start to the month, things are a little brighter - I have my third interview with a company I'm DYING to work for* coming up this Wednesday, a fiercely fierce outfit to wear to said interview, and I might get to see THE Guy. Very tentative plans with him, but after two weeks of radio…

Oh it is :]

GODDAMMIT KINJA. STOP BEING AN ASS.

I'm trying to be sympathetic FOR REALZ I AM but this came in last night and I'm too busy singing "Walking in a Winter Wonderlaaaaaand!" at the top of my lungs.

Oi. I'm sorry you're going through pregnancy hell. Many internet hugs to you.
