Is it too early in the week for a seethingly bitter thread?

[iggy]

Always one to try to find constructive outlets for my rage, I thought I'd start an ugly thread here and deposit my fury thusly.

I'm having one of those weeks where the world is kicking my ass and all of humanity (several in particular) are really cheesing me off ad infinitum. It's a pull the covers over your head kind of time.

Feel free to back away with the fear of God in your eyes or contribute your malice in turn.

[kentuckychic]

Yesterday was the day from HELL for me. Crazy Carolyn started crying about me not talking to her (just because I didn't want to talk about her son going to the store and getting make up for her). Little Man is sick had to take him to the doctor. Visit and prescriptions cost me $75. Doofuses at the pharmacy said it would take 25 minutes to fill the prescriptions and an hour later they still weren't filled. Work at the hotel last night wasn't too bad. Then I overslept this morning. Little Man's babysitter spent 20 minutes talking my leg off. Finally made it to work at 8:45.

On a brighter note....Little Man and I leave tomorrow afternoon to go on vacation. :D I think that is the only thing that has helped me keep my sanity.

[NikDC]

Good thing I brought the suit of armor today. Feel free to hate the world in my general direction.

I'm only hateful of people who cancel out of things at the last minute, leaving someone with an entire picnic basket worth of food that they're lugging around.

Otherwise, http://www.jeanscollectibles.com/lucystamper.gif

Enjoy the vacation, ky!

[kentuckychic]

I plan on it Nikki.

[MerrySunshine]

I've been crabby too, lately, iggy . . . but that's just my general state of mind when at the biz . . . . Mean people suck and liars tick me off. As you can see, clearly, then, lawyering is probably not the best place for me to be if I want to be of sound mind and spirits.

I've got a plan, though, a cunning escape plan. More will unfold in future months, but suffice it to say that I am putting that big-ass house of mine on the market THIS WEEKEND and shopping for a smaller house with a less hefty mortgage.

[NikDC]

Excellent to hear, Mer. Not about the liars and cheaters, etc, but the house. :D

Sorry you're bonding with my answering machine as well, but I'm never home anymore. It's hard when you're a socialite :rolleyes:

[MerrySunshine]

Yes, I wish I were more of a socialite, but I'm either having stuff fixed at my house (damned air conditioner!) or working too late. :rolleyes: Your answering machine is actually quite friendly. We're becoming fast friends. :p

So . . . remember when I had a crush on that lawyer who used to appear before my judge when I was a law clerk . . . and I was pretty sure he liked me . . . and then that same lawyer then joined my firm about five months after I started working here only he's a partner and I'm an associate? So there was no way to do anything about the crush or investigate what I perceived to be interest on his part? Now that I'm forming the exit strategy, thoughts of doing a little cautious investigation creep to mind. Anybody every broached something like an interoffice flirtation (we know I'm too shy to push it all the way to romance!) . . . . What do you do?

[iggy]

I feel like a Peanuts character with this swirling gray cloud over my head.

I have to admit that venting has made me feel better, but sadly I have a long way to go till I'm back in Olympic form.

Not to mention I think I have a hole in my sock.

[NikDC]

Darn it! :D

I know, bad pun.

Better a swirling cloud over your head than the Peanuts character with a swirling cloud around him.

I'll crawl back under my desk now.

Oh! One more thing. Wet dream

[kentuckychic]

New socks always make me feel better Iggy. Maybe if you go sock shopping on your lunch hour it will make your day a little more tolerable.

[iggy]

I did a mean run through Target and Best Buy last night with that theory in mind KY. I know I'm in a funk when excessive spending on pointless items doesn perk me up.

[kentuckychic]

But did you buy socks?

[iggy]

Strangely enough, no. Cereal, yes. Paper towels, yes. New edition of Rushmore on DVD, yes.

[ellenmed]

I'll join all of you today.

I need more maternity clothes. And it sucks that clothes that you're only gonna wear for 4 months cost the same as regular clothes. To top it all off, I may need a whole wardrobe of clothes at the end of all this.

What am I to do my Imelda-Marcos-size collection of shoes?

I'm swelling up! My feet are looking like Miss Piggy's.

[MerrySunshine]

I'm freaking out.

I've got a hearing at 3:00 (central). It's a status conference on a multi-count lawsuit I filed last week. Last week, the Judge called me and told me he wanted to set this status conference and that I was going "to get popped," but then he added, "it'll be OK, but you're going to get popped." For the life of me, I can't figure out what I did wrong!!!!! I'm going over there with one of the partners and I'm just about to pee my pants I'm so scared. If I could figure out what I did that was wrong so that I deserved to be "popped", I wouldn't be so upset, but I've no idea! I think I'm going to be sick. I want to go home. I'm scared. Have I mentioned that already? The anxiety associated with this job is going to kill me.

[iggy]

Wow, you need a cocktail. In a very big way.

Make that we all need a very big cocktail in a very big way.

[MerrySunshine]

The sad thing is, I think that I could drink 12 cocktails and I would still be vibrating from the anxiety.

[MerrySunshine]

It's 2:25. My throat is tightening up, someone just told me that I look sick, and I've been trying to figure out some way to hide in my credenza. I'm pretty sure I could fit in one of those big file drawers. I'll leave for court in 20 minutes.

[iggy]

Hope for the best, but click your heels together three times if that doesn't work.

[MerrySunshine]

I was thinking of locking my knees behind the podium and attempting to faint. Generally, the unconscious tend to get a lot of sympathy, I've found.

[ellenmed]

Maybe you're getting a raise.
Or a bigger office.

Be tough, kiddo.

[NikDC]

Unfortunately, the court generally doesn't have much to say about raises.

She'll be fine. She's a trooper.

Or she'll throw up on the judge and speed along her new plan. Either way, it's a win-win situation.

[MerrySunshine]

Well, I'm back. :)

Apparently, whereas filing a law suit obeying all of the federal rules of civil procedure and all of the local rules of this district was not enough for the Court. Apparently, I should have followed some wacky procedure that he had made up in his head and is written down nowhere. The partner who was with me said it was the silliest thing he'd ever heard and that I'd done everything perfectly. All that worry for nothing! But it really peeves me to get chewed out because I actually followed the rules and didn't do some crazy procedure he'd made up in his head. :rolleyes:

[insearchofjason]

Gosh, I saw a great concert last night, got laid, slept in this morning, woke up to the most beautiful weather I've ever seen, had a wonderful lunch on a patio outdoors, and now I'm on my way to a bbq. Things couldn't get much better! :)

Do you want to kill me yet? ;)

[MerrySunshine]

http://www.uniquehardware.co.uk/server-smilies/cwm/cwm/puke.gif




:p ;)

[NikDC]

Figured it wasn't anything. ;)

Glad everything went okay. I'm sure the people in the offices around you are also glad you weren't driven to drink and then take out your frustrations on whatever poor soul crossed your path.

Or just threw up on them...

[iggy]

I won't be as graphic as ISOJ, but this day is shaping up to be better...instead of bitter.

Glad your ass isn't in a sling Mer. Don't let The Man get you down.
Would you like to subscribe to my communist newsletter?

[NikDC]

In a masterful twist, I almost threw up on someone AND pass out today. That'll teach me to tease....

I was a first time blood donor and apparently, oatmeal isn't enough to eat for breakfast when you're as "scrawny" as I am. :rolleyes: At least, I woke them up, scored an extra cookie, and managed to not lose complete consciousness. Go ME!

[iggy]

Perfect excuse to go home early.

[MerrySunshine]

Hi.

I think I'm falling for my boss . . . well, one of them, anyway.

Carry on.

[iggy]

It's just post traumatic stress syndrome. This too shall pass.

[MerrySunshine]

But I've had an off and on crush on him for approx. 4 years . . . before he was my boss, of course. :o Could be, though, a sort of Florence Nightingale syndrome, I suppose . . . except with lawyers and I'm not a wounded soldier . . . well, not really. He's quite a distraction today, I can tell you. :rolleyes: Will I never be anything but a 14 year old girl when it comes to men? Honestly. Sigh. I am pathetic.

[iggy]

Oooh, then maybe a sordid intraoffice romance will cure what ails you...keep in mind that more ails will inevitably come from it. But why be mired in forethought?

[Daisy55]

Iggy I'm waiting to somewith with an avatar dog to go pee on your avatar:p

[iggy]

How shamelessly you flirt with me.

I just enjoy the day glo green aspect of it all.

[MerrySunshine]

Sordid intraoffice romance? Not demure little me! :p But, then again . . . I am in the throes of an exit strategy! ;)

At any rate, it could never get as sordid as other intraoffice romances that have sprung up around this place . . . at least we're both single. :rolleyes:

[iggy]

Don't play Baptist with me. I'm sure your imagination can create tawdry, if not sordid, eventualities. It's all so News Radio.

Not sure why; it just is.

[MerrySunshine]

Does that make me Dave Foley? Or . . . what's her name? How fond I was of that show! And how quickly I've forgotten the details of it. Really liked that the creepy guy with the stapler from Office Space played the boss on News Radio, though . . . .

[iggy]

Maura Teirney of er these days.

One of the best ensemble shows ever. Still miss the hell out of Phil Hartman.

[sunshinegirl]

There is something about bosses...

I am right there with you Merry. Although, it has gone a bit past the "crush" stage.

Office policies be damned ;)

[MerrySunshine]

Ooooo. Do tell!

I am in need of office romance instruction.

I'm thinking of, the next time he's sort of running himself down, saying something like "Oh, please! I had a crush on you back when I was a law clerk." Too forward? :o

[iggy]

Said while taking off his tie with your teeth: too forward

Said while walking back from lunch: noncommittal and breezy

[sunshinegirl]

Too forward? No...too forward would be jumping on his desk and doing a strip tease.

But then again, I have never been accused of being subtle...

I guess it depends on the atmosphere of your office. My office is so casual that flirtation doesn't cause an eye to be batted. Feel him out (figuratively, at least for now... ;) ) and I think it is innocent enough to tell him that you had a crush on him as a clerk.

Fortunately my "boss" is not really my direct boss but he's definitely a superior in my department. Fortunately he is single.

[MerrySunshine]

My "boss", we'll call him Herman, on Friday at happy hour, after about two margaritas, told somebody else (right in front of me)that he and I really compliment each other and when I said something about him being my boss, Herman said, "But I'm not really your boss . . . ." It's sort of like you, not my direct supervisor, but definitely a superior, he being a partner and all . . . . It's pretty casual here too, but it's not THAT casual. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about the situation (one of my actual peers here) and he said that it's obvious to him, my friend, that Herman is interested.

Oh, and Herman has invited himself over to my house to drink margaritas by the pool . . . . :eek:

[sunshinegirl]

I think that he's yours for the taking. Why are you even asking?

Now decide if you actually want to do the taking.

[MerrySunshine]

Oh and, LOL, iggy . . . . Yes, context is, indeed, everything . . . . I was going to go for the noncommittal and breezy thing. ;)

[iggy]

Go for it, you only live once.

And now in a completely contradictory manner, be warned about office romances gone wrong. Not a pretty picture.

[MerrySunshine]

I'm hoping to time it with the "exit strategy." Too much to hope for? ;)

As for sunny's question, why am I even asking? Because I'm a big ol' chicken, that's why! :o

[ellenmed]

Plus you have the flirtation skills of a Junior High-schooler. ;)

[MerrySunshine]

This much is true . . . . :p

(Seem my other Jr. High flirtation I've had going on of late is actually starting to seem interested in one of my good friends . . . oh well . . . I still have Herman. ;) )

[Red50]

I agree with Iggy, life's too short to wonder "what if"

[nickz_gurl_99]

[MerrySunshine]

Thanks, Red . . . good to have the panhandle vote. ;) Thanks, all of y'all! :D I've decided I'm definitely going to drop the "crush" comment the next time it seems appropriate. Light and breezy. That should definitely put the ball in his court and, hopefully, will spur some action there. My buddy at work told me that if a girl he liked said that to him, that he woulddn't be able to work the rest of the day and his heart would start racing. He suggested trying to do it at the end of the day, therefore . . . . :p

[iggy]

Life changes make you take risks. That's a good thing. I think we too easily become comfortable and unwilling to chase adventure.

Who knows what opportunities sneak by while we're clutching to our security blankets?

That's your fortune cookie for the day, kids.

[MerrySunshine]

Carpe diem, Oh, Captain, my Captain. :p

[iggy]

My life is revolving around Robin Williams of late.

What does that mean? Maybe the universe wants me to rent Hook or something. What have I done to deserve that?

[insearchofjason]

I just knew Sunny would be in here to shed some light on the whole "dating the boss" thing. ;)

[MerrySunshine]

iggy, all I can say to you is "Na-noo, na-noo, my brutha." :p

I feel so refreshed, you guys! Hooray! How exciting and clandestined! ;) He really is a great guy . . . 39, good job (well, clearly), very dedicated to the job and doing well at it, but he's also devoted to his family and his nephew and Godson . . . has a dog (animal lovers are nearly always good people :D ) . . . funny and silly . . . on the short and stocky side (but remember, I'm the girl who likes Chris Kirkpatrick in NSYNC!), not shorter than me though . . . unless I wear 3 inch heels, though, which I sometimes do . . . dresses well . . . brown hair, starting to go gray (in a good way, though), hazel eyes . . . . I'm sure iggy's very into the physical description (well, maybe the "dresses well" part), huh?

If only I could speed up the "exit strategy" a little bit . . . will have to work on that too . . . . Hmmmm.

[insearchofjason]

Wait... is this your boss you're describing? Did I see the "f" word in there?

[MerrySunshine]

Eh? Nooooooo . . . .

But yes it's my "boss" . . . he's a partner in my section, but he's not the head of the section or anything . . . so that makes him technically my superior (I mean, he could have me fired if he wanted, superior), but he's not my supervisor . . . .

[insearchofjason]

All appologies. I skim. I thought this was the man you have a crush on, and when I saw "family" in the bio, I thought you were trying to break up a happy home. :p

[MerrySunshine]

Noooo. Perish the thought! Actually, he was engaged until the past November, when she broke it off. (He's bitter, but still thinks it was the right decision.) So I "suffered in silence" b/c (a) he was taken and that's not my style to steal other people's men and (b) he's sort of my boss. So no problems! :D

[iggy]

The good news is you're approaching the right time to mention it. I'm thinking he needed round abouts a year to get over the last relationship...unless you wanted a noncommittal, breeze thang only. Not that I'm judging.

Animal people are good people.

[MerrySunshine]

Yeah, the other day at lunch (alone together, as it were :eek: ) he said that he really wasn't dating anybody seriously right now. (Although he has gone out with the person a few time -- jealousy? me? yes, I'm afraid! -- though he says it's going nowhere . . . .) I said, "Well, that's just a well . . . ." I got a weird look and quickly followed with, "You've got a lot of stuff to get over." He seemed to accept that. You think I should have said, "Because I would be seething with jealousy if you got involved with someone else," instead? :p

[vester]

Who has more fun than people?! ;)

I don't know.
Probably not the right timing.
I think you need to start off with the breezy comment.
Definitely do something, seize the day, all that stuff. Because you will kick yourself around the block if some other chickee snags him.
I await in anticipation of your next move.

[MerrySunshine]

Me too, actually! :p ;)

[iggy]

Oh vester, I'm so upset with myself that I haven't been using that maxim everyday as I had intended.

I personally enjoy that anecdote ever so much. The smile on my face now makes it look like I slept with a coat hanger in my mouth.

[vester]

Well that visual made me laugh ... out loud.

[iggy]

I'm unleashing it on DC this weekend. I'll report back with my findings.

[NikDC]

And alas I shan't be here to see it.

You know, if you borrowed my face powder, you could complete The Joker look.

And remember, I work with The Penguin, if you really want to go all out and have a partner in crime this weekend...

[iggy]

I've been told I have the Joker's smile before. I know I have his mean streak.

Bow! Piffffff! Zond!

[MerrySunshine]

OK, gang, things with Herman just got ramped up this weekend.

We had a pizza party for my section . . . a sort of cooking contest. Herman came over from his teams inferior pizza to look at my pizza over my shoulder. Pressed his chest against my back just a bit while looking (and I may have leaned back when he did it too ;) ). Compliments my cooking and says he's impressed by my cooking abilities. (That is, my ability to throw a bunch of eclectic crap on a crust and have it taste OK.) The conversation follows:

Me: I'm a good cook. You should try my fajitas.

Him: You should invite me over . . . .

Me: [still working on my pizza] OK . . . .

Him: You should invite me . . . .

Me: [lilty] You're invited.

Soooooo . . . . I'm taking this as a pretty direct sign that he'd like to come over to my house and, you know, be all alone and stuff . . . . On Monday or Tuesday, I'm headin' into his office and I will say, "So do you really want to sample my fajitas? How about Saturday? Come over in the afternoon for margaritas and I'll fix fajitas for dinner." Too crazy? I'm doing it, though. You only live once, right?

[insearchofjason]

Woo Hoo Mer! Keep us posted!

[MerrySunshine]

Fingers crossed. :) I'm gonna do it tomorrow morning, hopefully . . . .

[kentuckychic]

Looks like I made it back from vacation just in time. Gooooo Merry!!! :D

[iggy]

Not sure if I missed you already. I'd play a bit more casual. Continue the banter that originated during the pizza thing.

Something like: Was thinking about making fajitas this Saturday. Were you still interested in sampling them? And obviously margaritas are implied.

Don't be thrown off if he plays coy (not that he will). Men have a convenient memory when the power in thrown back into their court.

[kentuckychic]

Isn't it a bit early in the week to be casually thinking about what you'll be preparing for dinner on Saturday?

Of course what do I know.....just color me dateless and desperate over here in this corner!

[MerrySunshine]

Casual talk for about 30 minutes regarding his house shopping this weekend, followed by . . . .

Me: So. When do you want to come over for fajitas? [grin]

Him: I can't do it this weekend. My whole family's coming into town . . . I mean my whole family . . . mom, sister . . . . [smiling, no hint of not remembering]

Tension filled silence (but in a good way ;) ).

Me: So the next weekend then?

Him: The one after this?

Me: [knodding, smiling, eye-contact] Yeah.

Him: Yeah. [smiles] Hopefully it will be nice and we can lay out by the pool . . . .

Me: Yeah. Bring your dog.

Him: I'm sure your cats will love that . . . .

Casual banter regarding animals . . . .

Then I run back to my office to tell all of my internet friends about it! :p LOL!

[iggy]

hmmm good point

I'm hyper obsessive about planning so it would be natural to me. Maybe something along the lines of: I never got around to making fajitas last weekend. Was going to try to do it this Saturday. Feel free to make it over to sample. I'll be the naked one in the pool.

The last sentence is optional depending on comfort level.

[MerrySunshine]

I like how it went, thank you.

Of course, now, who is going to be able to pay attention at work now? Certainly will be difficult for me. :p

[kentuckychic]

Am I the only one that can practically see Merry bouncing up and down in her chair grinning from ear to ear as she types????

Congrats Merry!!!! Glad you landed the date. :)

[kentuckychic]

Oooops. Double post

[vester]

Woo hoo!
He sooooo wants to sample your fajitas!!!!! ;)

Way to go Mer, you happenin' chick you!

Is it possible to set up an internet cam on your pool deck so we can watch and make running commentary? ;)

[MerrySunshine]

Er. NO.

But don't worry. I'm sure I'll recount it chapter and verse to you all . . . .

Who can pay attention to their work under circumstances like these?

[MerrySunshine]

P.S. ky, do you really think it's a date? I'm never sure anymore what constitutes a date and what constitutes just "hanging out." Sigh. I want it to be a date, though . . . . :)

[sunshinegirl]

Way to go Mer! :D

This is like Days of Our Lives - without amnesia, the devil and multiple personality disorder.

[MerrySunshine]

You just wait! I'm sure that we'll get a good MPD or amnesia in there eventually . . . at the very least, you should count on a shipwreck. :p

[kentuckychic]

Again, you're asking the most dateless and desperate person around these parts. But if you want it to be a date then damnit it's a date!

Now on to the really important topic at hand.....what are you going to wear? Or have you chosen to go with a more natural look? ;)

[MerrySunshine]

I was thinking of playing it very casual . . . white t-shirt, denim capris, sandals . . . that sort of thing . . . I fear the swimming pool business, frankly. I am not prepared for him to see me in a relative state of undress. :o

[insearchofjason]

Impressive Mer! The girl wastes no time! I LIKE IT!

I also like the idea of a webcam... but only when I'm the one doing the watching. My um... um... boyfriend? (uh, I don't want to use the B word yet) has a webcam because he works from home and I see it sitting there on the desk when we're um... cuddling and I think to myself "That thing has a red light to show when it's on, doesn't it? Surely there's a red light."

Please.. someone.. tell me there's a red light.

[iggy]

We all see a red light, but it's not from the webcam.

[MerrySunshine]

Oh, tsk, tsk, iggy, leave the girl alone. :p

ISOJ, I just decided to take a cue from you and all my other bold girl friends out there. It's time I take life by the, er, balls, and exert some control over my destiny! It is the year of living dangerously for Mistress Merry! ;)

Watch it . . . next I'm running with scissors. I mean it!

[NikDC]

There'll be no scissor-running in here. I won't have someone putting out an eye!

And good for you, Mer!

[iggy]

the words "balls" and "scissors" should never be in the same post

same with "Louie Anderson" and "leather fetish"

[MerrySunshine]

Rahaha! Point well taken, iggy . . . .

And thanks, Nik! :D

[MerrySunshine]

Herman just winked at me! ;)

Aaaah! :D

OK. Calm again. Calm and cool.

[kentuckychic]

As I was logging on to LD this morning I began to wonder about Herman. I thought maybe the two of you had your conversation about fajitas and margaritas and then quit speaking. Good to hear that things are still sailing right along for ya!

[MerrySunshine]

No, still talking -- heck, we work together all the time. But I'd describe our interactions as cautious and rather business-like . . . . Although in addition to the wink, I got a knowing grin yesterday morning as well. :D No real earth-shattering events, though . . . . Just assume that we're continuing to flirt as usual! :p

[iggy]

interesting...how knowing?

[MerrySunshine]

It was just sort of one of those grins that sort of make you feel that "thing" in your chest, you know? Just a little thing, nothing major . . . but I had to get out of his office after that. :o I felt too silly to be there anymore. :rolleyes:

[iggy]

I do know that think that you're talking about. What a fun time.

[MerrySunshine]

Yeah. It is fun. :)

Very hard not to get all wrapped up in it, though . . . very hard not to develop expectations. But I'm doing OK with it. I just keep reminding myself that all that's happening is that we're having dinner -- we're going to hang out, visit, learn more about each other . . . . Nothing more; nothing less. Doesn't mean we'll ever do anything together again. Doesn't mean that there's anything else ever going to happen. Doesn't mean he's going to kiss me or hug me or even shake my hand. Just dinner. That's it. One step at a time.

Do I sound like an alcoholic? :rolleyes:

[iggy]

Good healthy attitude. Expect the basics and all else is gravy.

I've learned that we all could use more friends in this life. If things don't move beyond that point, it really isn't a loss.

[MerrySunshine]

That's true. Not really a loss. Although, the gravy would be really nice. :)

[Short Chris]

Mer, I've been behind on this thread. Is the big date tomorrow? And how are those exit plans progressing?

[MerrySunshine]

A week from tomorrow . . . his family's in town this weekend. He's not in the office today, so no flirting for Merry today. A little behind on the exit plan, though . . . . Was supposed to have the house on the market this week, but haven't had a chance to read the listing agreement (lawyers, sheesh, have to read everything!) so I'll probably do that this weekend and then have it on the market next week.

[MerrySunshine]

BTW, because I am slightly obsessive (only slightly?) and just went back to re-read this thread -- perhaps it's withdrawal :rolleyes: -- I just noticed a key word in Shorty's post: "date." Shorty called it a date. It's a date.

Why am I obsessing over what to call it? It's b/c we work together, isn't it? Or maybe I just think guys would only want to hang out with me like a buddy and not actually date me like I'm a real woman or something. I am a complete lunatic, I've decided. :rolleyes: What ever will I do with myself?

[iggy]

Honestly, I think you're obsessing because you're obsessive.

I'm the same way...we can always spot it in others. Kinda like being Filipino.

[MerrySunshine]

Yes, I think that's it. I'm just flat-out obsessive. How annoying. :rolleyes:

[iggy]

It works for some things like organizing silverware drawers and doing taxes. It's hell with interpersonal relationships. Learn from my pain...haha.

[MerrySunshine]

I've learned from mine, I know. :rolleyes: It's so hard not to get freaky. At least, I've learned that as long as you obsess to yourself and your friends only -- and not all over the other person, then it's all OK.

Edit: Well, not ALL OK, since you're still being a freak, but at least you're not freaking out the other person whilst being a freak . . . . Oh dear, I'm so dysfunctional.

[iggy]

Your avatar's enough to freak him out. Joking.

A big neon green fire hydrant is nice and soothing on the other hand.

[MerrySunshine]

It is vaguely creepy, isn't it? That's why I like it. :D Although, I'm thinking of going back to the other one, the day I'm having . . . . .
