Damn, it's cold back here in SF. But at least there aren't dead crows on the sidewalk.

o_O I got SOOOO MANY reviews for Prophecy Girl and TLC, I was shocked. Then again, my Outlook is weird, and I do get duplicate copies of FFnet reviews. Does anyone know how to delete duplicate messages in OE?

I made myself a sign saying "BETAS ARE WONDERFUL, AREN'T THEY?" and listed Witchling and Atlantis' emails. So I don't forget. Once I'm done with all this email, I'll be sure to work on WDKY9 and send it their way.

Have I mentioned lately that I have the coolest friends EVER!?

While in SoCal, I got:
* lots of well-wishings
* plenty of people tackling/glomping/biting/smooshing/saying hi online
* a couple of phone calls

First, Steph IMd, and I rarely hear from her, what with her classes and my work. It's always fun to see her drop by with Tobey (I think one time she was at the theater with her Dad). I wanna see her and Eva again soon! ^_^
Speaking of Eva, she sent me this wicked cool package called the "SoCal" survival kit. It has all this nice stuff in it-- the little things you'd never think of. Classic and simple! Eva's got her own trademark style! An example of some of the unexpected goodies:
* "A bandaid to mend hurt feelings" -- and still usable, since the adhesive hasn't been taken off!
* "A pencil to list everything you have to be thankful for... and to bubble in questions when you have to take finals" - LOL. I was cracking up when I read this tag.

Eva also warns me not to say "hella" in SoCal, as they have something against it. o_O Thanks, Eva. I actually didn't know that... I've heard people don't "get it" but come on! It's HELL-A. o_O Whatever. ^_^ I guess I need adjustment tips. I've never actually hung around any LAers. Or SoCalers. Whoever they are.

Okay, so for my birthday, I still have no ideas. Mom has been mentioning it more than I have.

She suggested a pizza party, and I like the sound of that. Pizza, soda, chips, whatever. Anyone have an idea for a when or a where? Or a what to do afterwards? I'm seriously brain-dry for this. I don't even know what I want.
