I’ll have you know that never ever in my entire life have I had a boyfriend on V Day. Never! Quite frankly, I’m getting sick of it.

Dearest Nacho, I’ll be your date. I can absofigginlutely guarantee that my pathetic ass won’t have company on Hallmark Self-esteem Destroyer Day. My cousin’s got his Bar Mitzvah that weekend, but if you wanna travel a thousand miles or so to party with 13 year olds, I’d more than welcome the company. ---

Falcon, honestly, I think we live wierd parrallel lives. I am currently at my parents’ house, doing THREE loads of laundry. My cat broke one of 7 (the original set had 8, an ex-roommate broke one) vintage cocktail tumblers. They’e all cool with retro blobs on them. Feh. Cats. I don’t like the name of our club.“Lonely hearts” sounds too Elenor Rigby. How about something like “The Five Percent Club,” under the Sienfeld principal that 95% of the population is undateable? And to keep this post mundane, my father called me at 8:30 this morning. I closed the store last night, which means I didn’t get home until 11:30. Then I had to eat, and get into my flannel PJs and read. So I wasn’t asleep until 1:30 or 2. And he calls at 8-farging -30. Feh, feh, feh. ---

Hey, I can think of worse things than being **Swiddles’s** alter ego… And in MY mudane life…work is REALLY boring today. We were supposed to get more stuff turned over to test, but NOooooooooo…they had to make us look like idiots first. Feh. I’m having one of those rare days where I consider selling everything I own, quitting, and running off somewhere. Only 2 more hours until I can go home… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Falcon \* > \*\*In more mundanity from Falcon’s life… > > Finally did laundry today. All 4 loads worth. Woo! I now have clean clothes again! \*\* Must be nice. I do an average of four loads of laundry every single frickin day. Yesterday, I did six loads of laundry. Today, I just started my first load and will do at least two more before the night is done. Of course, Falcon lives alone, whereas I have four kids and a husband to clean up after. I swear, I think they change their clothes five times a day. Now, in my mundanity, I have to find a dentist that can see me sometime this week. A tooth that I have neglected to get taken care of for the last couple of years is finally revolting against me. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but not when it comes to tooth pain. ---
