Nothing like starting out your day with a panic attack.

I got an email from financial aid this morning informing me that if I didn't "apply my financial aid online" by tomorrow at 5pm, my enrollment would be dropped. Never mind that there was no information on how *exactly* I was supposed to go about doing this---or that I've been trying to figure it out for the past two months.

So I called financial aid, where a very condescending chap walked me through the whole, two-second-long process. State schools are the way to go, I tell you. At this rate, I'm liable to end up in a straitjacket by Thanksgiving.

Grrrrrr.

Ah, the loveliest of insanities...
Well, my dearest little one, I am trying to remember all of the times I was considering destroying the Financial Aid Dept. at my Alma Mater. I cannot count the times. I got a terribly flattering bit of information today from Becca. I learned that Clint is bizarrely jealous of me because I have so many female friends. He evidently became upset because Becca was discussing going out with coffee and he told her that I was married in a very upset voice. I had to laugh. One of the others told me that even some of the gay men are upset at the number of females who want to hang out with me. I had to think about it and realized (unfortunately, I also said this out loud the moment it came to mind) that it must be because I'm not trying to get into anyones pants. Shocked looks. Gasps. Maniacal laughter.
Oh, by the way, thank you so much for the kinder eggs. Very strange and cool. I gave one egg to Carolyn and Kylee, and one to the kids. Of course, the kids got both toys. Kylee is getting much better, and actually spends a huge amount of time laughing these days. Oh, Chris and Gemma were fired. The rumors are going crazy. I will let you know the "truth" as I know it when I have more time.
Love-
Cyrano

do straitjackets come in electric-blue?
All the interesting stuff happens after I leave. So unfair. Not that it wasn't loooong overdue. Wonder what tipped the balance, though. And whether it was the same thing that got 'em both fired...hmmm.... That thought goes too many ugly, ugly places.

As for why you're so popular with the ladies...I can tell you why *I* like to hang out with you, but I don't know that other females have the same reasoning. :) Nor is it any one, single thing. Wish I could've been there for the shocked looks, gasps, and maniacal laughter, though. Who owned which expression? (Me, I'd've probably just laughed and turned red, as I'm sure you know.)

And so good to hear Kylee's doing better! And that y'all enjoyed the eggs. I shall pass on your thanks to my mom. It was actually her idea, after hearing how much I enjoyed the little figurine your daughter gave me. She thought your kids might get a kick out of 'em, even if sometimes the toys inside are *extrememly* lame. Or weird. :P

Love and miss you,
Kimi

Re: do straitjackets come in electric-blue?
Though straight jackets do not come in electric blue, there are places online where you can have one custom made...(Don't go looking. Trust me. My eyes are still burning).

Ah...the two who are not to be spoken of...those who have fallen...the G-girl was lead out of the store by the LP manager. Draw the conclusions you must from this.

The number of stories concerning why the lamest of MOD's is no longer with us is actually much more interesting. According to one MOD, it's because he had three no-calls, no-shows. Thus, Job abandonment. Ahhh, but we know this is NOT the case as he did call in for his no-shows...Another source at the top chose to say he had found another position outside the company. Hmmm. Why the two different stories? Well, rumor has it that a sexual harassment charge was brought up. Is this the most likely?

As for interesting stuff, you would have to let me know in an email when we could call you so that we could possibly catch up on the Incredible Cyrano Adventure at Another Store! The one which resulted in the DM getting a phone call. That Cyrano was threatened with action by members of the other store. Alas, though his friends are now coming under fire for his actions, and he might have to become the Black Mask to save them, Cyrano triumphed through, as always, the truth, ugly as it can be. So, be brave, dear friend, and do not cultivate a supple spine and a calloused belly. Though the truth may well be ugly, it is always the truth.
Your friend,
(who misses you terribly)
Cyrano

No. I am not made for a supple spine and a calloused belly. And thank you for reminding me. ::hugs copy of Cyrano:: But *such* tantalizing tidbits! I shall email you as soon as may be!

Love (and miss you terribly too, *believe* me!),
