maypirateA conversation about what to make for dinner:

infinityduck: Mebbe chikin?
maypirate: You know I'm gonna be paranoid about it. :P
maypirate: And tearing it apart.
maypirate: To check its done-ness. :P
infinityduck: That is okay nuzz
infinityduck: You make delicious chikin
infinityduck: Even if you do mutilate it :P
maypirate: I'm like those aliens that mutilate cows, only with chickens.
maypirate: And the chickens are already dead.
This morning I caught one of the buses that stops at the end of campus and therefore was perfectly oriented to walk past a Starbinx, and this was more awesome because I discovered the other day that Past Me had put money on my Starbinx card so that Future Me could enjoy beverages without paying! Sometimes I have brilliant foresight! Now I have an earl gray tea latte and soon...the Simpsons.
I've been eyeing this meme for a while, and now I'm busting loose with it.
PRIDE
1. I'm a good listener. I may not be able to solve my own problems, but I like to think I'm good at helping people with theirs, or at least being a helpful, loving sounding board.
2. I'm pretty funny. And clever. On my good days.
3. Regardless of the shitty situation, my dumb wages, customers, and my tendency to possibly run away early, I am a damn good employee. I have done good things for this store, I have been loyal, steadfast, and true.
4. I have a great smile. Granted, it apparently features six countries of teeth, but a bus driver even complimented me the other day. ...said smile could use a trip to the dentist, but that's going to be terrifying.
5. I r smrt. I don't remember that a lot of the time, especially considering what I do and the dumbassery I deal with daily"Yo, but I was always a good student, graduated graduated from college with an awesome GPA, and have a vast repository of knowledge. I just can't always call it all up. :F
6. I have a super awesome family and amazing friends. I know that's not something I can entirely take credit for, but the fact is it's true, and I don't know who or what I'd be without the people that surround me.
7. This is the hardest one to actually say/type out loud... I'm a good writer. I was a published poet at 10. I never had to take any intermediate writing classes in high school, I absorbed good technique from my teachers and father, and even the director of my grad school program advertised me as an excellent writer to others. I struggle with writing, obviously, and a lot of times think it's crap, but again, on those good days... everything just glows.
...and yeah. Aside from being repeatedly on record saying that pride is my number one sin, this was actually incredibly hard to do. I just want to add a million caveats to everything, which I sort of did. Oh, vanity of vanities, you are so complicated.
In closing, this picture is the background on the laptop at work, and I'm kind of fixated on it. In fact, it would be safe to say that all I really want for my birthday would be an Egg Cuber (TM). I'm gonna make so many square eggs.
