Only one thing bothered me about Dark Knight:

Of all the people in the movie to ask, shouldn't Heath Ledger have been asking *Gary Oldman* "why so serious"?




(If it's any consolation, tigerphoenix beats me vigorously every time I say that.)

Me, after getting Klondike Bars post-Iron Man: What would Tony Stark do for a Klondike Bar?
tigerphoenix: I don't know.
Me: What would Jesus do... for a Klondike Bar?
tigerphoenix: I'm not answering any more of your questions.
Me: What would Mega Man do... for a Klondike Bar?
tigerphoenix: ::steadfastly ignores me::
Me: This one's easy. He'd defeat Klondike Bar Man and take his powers.
tigerphoenix: ::winces in pain::
Me: HA! You try to put up walls of indifference but I breach 'em just the same!


It makes marginally more sense if you know I have a What Would Mega Man Do? bumper sticker.

I just read a research paper on the Ultima Online economy and, despite having never played the game, found it useful and informative.

This is going on my geek-cred resume.

I... have a confession to make.

I've done something I'm ashamed of. Something terrible, and horrible, and I feel *awful* about it. But I know I'd do it all over again if I had the same decision to make again.

I know a lot of you may lose some respect for me over this. Whereas others of you will just shake your heads and say it's exactly what you expected out of me. I hope I don't lose any friendships over this, but the truth is, despite the guilt and the shame, I'm proud of what I did.

( Put behind a cut to spare my friends list from coming across this shocking revelation unprepared )

"Post a memory of me in the comments. It can be anything you want. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what people remember of you. My twist on it is that you post the lineage of the meme, adding your name to the list above."

Double-decker sandwich, with ham, roast beef, salami, and pepperoni, sliced cheddar cheese, mustard, mayo, and sub dressing. Oh yes, this is a very good sandwich.

For all my faults, flaws, and foible; for all that I imperfect, not good at many things, not competitive at many more; for every problem I have ever had and every self-esteem crisis I have ever faced...

I make a damn good sandwich.

Got up -- got woken up -- at 7:30 to get ready for my interview. That was a hell of a bus trip.

Some psych woman attacked me on the bus. She slammed her foot down on mine and screamed at me to get my foot out of the aisle. Now, mind you, I'm six feet tall, and if I had been sticking my legs out into the aisle maybe it would have been understandable, but this was just a normal sitting posture. I was too stunned to say anything. Fortunately she got off the bus at that stop.

The interview went well, even if it did rain on me. I saw a raccoon roadkill on my way there. It was a big sucker of a raccoon too. That made me sad.

On the way back, I stopped at the Blood Bank and had them drain me. ^.^ Yes, I feel proud and good to have done this. So don't rain on my moral high ground today. Now I'm going to relax, suck down orange juice, and for a brief little while, enjoy being me.

Personal notes.
cathouse_blues: Hugs for you.
rachaelwynter: Hey, if tigerphoenix and I hadn't had big days today, we woulda been there too.
moonmama: Hugs, just because.
siliconrose and cyfis: I miss you guys. I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
tigerphoenix: Love you, babe.

I am me.

I am imperfect, flawed, error-prone, clumsy, and otherwise less than ideal.

I am sometimes insensitive, often foolish, occasionally outright mean, and frequently less than ideal.

But I am me. And I do the best I can. If that's not enough, deal.

But I am me, and I do the best I can. And I will not let that be taken away from me. At times, I'll forget -- it's a hard thing to remember, and as noted, I'm not perfect.

But I am me, and I do the best I can.

And that is something more than one person reading this should remember about themselves as well.

I am me. And I do the best I can.

And that's what makes me all right.
