Did anyone else go through something weird last week? Like... did anyone else get something special that then disappeared?

I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Kurt Wagner, and I'm relatively new to the area.

bah humbug

Allow me this brief moment on a soapbox.

You may not realize it, but the weeks following Christmas are especially difficult for the homeless. It's wonderful that we're likely to be in a giving mood during the holidays, but it can easily (understandably, perhaps) slip our minds once the lights are taken down and Santa disappears from the shop windows.

So, please keep the homeless in mind during the rest of the winter. It gets cold at night even in California.

I speak from experience.

I've been doing a lot of painting lately. They help me with the nightmares. I guess it makes them less real somehow if they're also stretched out across a canvas, but I don't know if I want to keep them and I don't think I could sell them either. They're just sitting there staring at me.

Just checked out Lincoln finally, if Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't win an Academy Award for his portrayal of President Lincoln, then I give up on the Oscars.

Ruby Lucas: scaring boys away since 1990.

I should really just make myself a shirt that tells guys not to bother. Nothing to see here! Move along!

Once upon a time I was really good at flirting with boys and getting them wrapped around my finger. I lost my touch somewhere along the way. It's probably best for all involved.

Now that Christmas is over and everyone is getting sane again (except for Stark's New Year's Party, because let's face it, we all know what will happen with that), anyone have Resolutions or plans?

Seriously, help me out, I have vacation to use up and no ideas.

Why... the hell... is this bowl game so far away? I'm bored. On another note, I got my grades back today. That's all I'll say about that. Still eligible, and that's really all that matters though.

I got my father two tacky ties for Christmas. The tackiest I could find--that he didn't already own.

I guess I'm getting used to be FOR SERIOUS ON MY OWN AND ADULT, OMG. I love that I got to spend Christmas with my family, but I'm soooooo ready to go home now. My train leaves in the morning, I'll be there in the afternoon. I'll probably spend the day taking care of some shop things real quick before texting everyone to get someone to hang out with for dinner. So expect mobile spam, fools who've given me your numbers.

Edit: Uh, there will be no spam. Sorry guys. I'll spam on Saturday instead.

I think everyone who works in a retail position during the winter holidays should get some sort of reward from the government or society in general. I'd take a footrub from a very tall, very muscular man.

Okay, anyone. Ten hour days in six inch heels. Not my best idea ever, but I have to keep up with the image of the store.

In order to not be one of those sad middle-aged ladies who call their dog their baby and don't have a social life at all, I've turned to the Internet.

So, I'm Neena Thurman. I run the Den Sports Bar, I'm older than thirty, I have a dog, but he's not a baby, he's a dog. I'm not really great at talking about myself, but I do like to talk to people. This is really weird, so I will attempt to make this as Internet friendly as possible.
