I'm really unhappy at the moment.

My wife has an Amniocentesis procedure scheduled for Thursday, which involves a big fuck-off needle going into her abdomen to find out whether or not our as-yet-unborn child will have any deformities or genetic problems like Down's Syndrome. Not only is said procedure unpleasant and potentially painful, the ramifications of the results are enough to scare one to death.

Be thankful you're not us right now.

You have k-cool taste in music and you are damn cute =) And I will buy you another beer as soon as a) I get over this flu, and b) you say the word! :D

Fo'serious though both of you - lets get together this week for a cheer-up boozeup, what say? I have a week off after all.

1.  He's attractive. (Hey, come on, I can see and I'm a hetero female. This kind of comment is to be expected!)
2.  He and his girlfriend make a cute couple.
3.  He has totally made The Forum load up so much faster. Yay for hard work!
4.  He's actually hosting the forum in the first place.
5.  He is the only hostbeing I know who has attended chats featuring a number of the people who use the forum he hosts. Yay for being an accessible hostgeek!

Hope your mental clouds clear up as soon as possible. :)

And hey andrew: def appreciate the work on the server.

It's the ALIEN doing a BONG HIT!!! C'mon, that's gotta make you laugh, right? See, it ain't so bad!!! Cheer up, son!

Seriously, I do hope all's better today!

Cheer is yours, mate......hope you're feeling better.

Our Amnio is the day after tomorrow, and I'm sure we'll be fine, but it's still very scary.

Alex, anticipation is always worse than the event. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

1) The work assignment I was counting on to see me through the end of November is abruptly ending.
2) No one is crushing on me, or willing to admit crushing on me.
3) Someone I was crushing on is requitedly crushing on someone else. Stop me before I wish that both parties' heads get severely crushed.

Alex, I do feel for you and Peg right now. But everyone else, I'm fed up with trying to be noble about my unhappiness right now, and I want some sympathy and attention.

i would loan my puppy for more hugs, but he's a bit big to squish into the ILX submission box. Instead here's my friend's new baby puppy:

O-kay. Now more than ever I realize that my fairy godmother must be the poet Dorothy Parker, and my patron saint Murphy: "Things go right only so that they can go more thoroughly wrong."

Sarah, "crushes are supposed to be fun", hm? Celebrity crushes, certainly! I'm not at all opposed to celeb crushes that hold no expectations but the one that enables one to admire their aesthetics. Hmmmm.

This guy's cute! Stare away!

If anyone knows of some guy you think might be interested in me, who lives in the Austin/S.A. area, that would be much appreciated.

And Alex, terribly sorry for overlooking your post. Good luck wishes galore to you and your wife with the amniocentesis.

Andrew, I sincerely hope that whatever was dragging you down has released its talons from your mood and you are emotionally buoyant again.

Cheers!

J.Lu, someone else deserves your crush, and may you cross paths quickly.

Not quite... I am glad to hear the amnio went well tho, Alex - yay baby NYC!

I watched a season's (i.e. last season's) worth and wanted to continue watching it but didn't, because of conflicts with schedule, etc. But what I saw of it rocked and I really want to pick up watching it again whenever they start doing reruns of it.

Michael Vartan looks a bit like someone, doesn't he, J.Girl?

Hmmm. Yes, that's true. Guess I speak too soon, as delivering seems like a bit of a bitch as well. But, that's still a buncha months away (though speeding towards us like a bullet train all the same).
