oh an uppdate. I thought you said breakdown.
Nevertheless, we continue.
I recently discovered that my life is perfect.
I have no right to ask for anything more.
And... Um I guess thats it.
What else do you say? My life = perfect

And also naked guy from Love Actually is in HGTTG
And The willy wonka movie looks spiffy.
And and and

Last night I had the most excellent time with deb, april, d, josh et al. When I really haven tbeen social in forever I appreciate it more and can come out of my shell more.

One minor faux pas- found kt's next sig. other.
Dating someone else.
DETAILS!
I said "when you're done with him, let me know."
Because--- I guess since I;m married now I can be all rude and nosy into other peoples lives like in BJD- a smug married person. Excellent!

Except without the smug. Or the hopefully painfully rude bits.

Ok thats enough- I have homework.

What use is an opinion? If it were an established fact it would be just that- true. We don't have opinions about facts. But somehow for the unestablished, for the uncertain, we all need to piss on it to make it smell familiar. I feel listening to opinions is like a public service. They just can't be wrong and it makes people so much happier to share them. POf course- then they start expecting YOu to share them when really you've just ening nodding and smiling and thinking what a load of horse hockey this all is.

Opinions don't make you smarter. If you were TRULY informed there would be a fact, otherwise no opinion is as good as any. Opinions don't make the facts different, or convince anyone else they've changed.

Opinions exist only to be refuted. I believe I woke up yesterday- well most of you won't argue because the other doesn't exist if you are reading this; and you ARE reading this.

When you flap your lips and make noise- it makes you happy, right? It rarely makes me happy, or the world better, or you more handsome or sucessful.

Why do only humans talk? Because only humans are rude enough to ignore each other. Animals don't ingoe each other- they mak take that fact under advisement and continue regardless but it's not ignoring them.

If well all felt heard and respected would we have opinions?

Of course. We use our unfounded, BS opinions to define ourselves.

I'm a seinfeld-hating, horse-loving, grad student (education is a worthy endeavor, et al).

Every choice you make traces back to an opinion of yours- based not on ANY fact I can see but some choice to pick a side.

Is it essentially human to relish that choice? No matter what the sides arE? To be able to see two sides at once? or is it implicitly lacking in our biological destiny- eyes both point the same way and get input togehter. Horses? Nope- two eyes. Do they make on picutre? Maybe. Maybe not.

Fini.

Duuuhhhhh
Beth=tired corporate pony.
Bryan already covered the house horrible disapointment.
I am slowly becoming the computer goddESS of my company.
As well as their telemarketing whore.
Harvey insanity continues.
Just upped all my weights at the gym.
Still fat.
The dude who sits behind me at work ( I almost typed in school!) is Ramon. He is snarky and only decent to people who stand up to him. He wants to live in colorado. His wife is Christanne. She is a super nice hippie chick photographer. Professional. With a 4 month old baby named Willow. Who is adooooowable. WHo likes to eat apples. *shrug* Anyway Christianne went to central.
And at least once a week Christianne and Willow come to work too (I dont get it either) and last night they thought it would be FUNNY to joke about tickling me while i was making cold calls and leaving a voice mail. I am incredibly tickilish by suggestion ( more so then phsycially, I suspect- it's all mentsal with moi) and It was terribly funny.

Me on the phone: Hi, this is beth from BORK BORK BORK
Christianne: I wonder what she owuld do if we tickled her?
Me, already giggling: ... and I'm calling *snarf snort* to see if you recieved the...
Christianne *makes tickiling approach gestures*
Me: Ow! Oh! I am sorry! You can call me at *Hee! Heee Hee hee!* Stop! Stop!

I guess you had to be there. It was silly and fun.
I miss my computer. It misses me.

Don't ask me why we were at the realetors office tonight. I will let you know when/if.
