entirely ruined her disposition with books

I need to find a new job. I've been saying this the entire time I've had this job, but now they're completely overhauling everything, using a new software system, etc. and they're moving me to a department I do not want to be in (I SPECIFICALLY SAID I DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THE ONE THAT MAKES ALL THE PHONE CALLS) and so I really need to start finding something else. Maybe somewhere in a new place. But either way: something else.

So if any of y'all have tips for me not having some sort of breakdown while I jobsearch since I find it so completely overwhelming, I'd love to hear them.

Also I have my first chigger bite of the year. I don't know how I managed to go this long without getting any, but UGH CHIGGERS.

I am following someone on tumblr who was born in 1997.



Simon Amstell, as always, understands me.

Guess who has two thumbs and her Harry Potter tickets for 12:10 AM Friday July 15? OH YES. THAT WOULD BE THIS GIRL.

12:10, apparently, because all of the 12:01 and 12:05 showings are sold out. There are people crazier than I am! (she said fondly.) I'm going with the BFF and her boyfriend and Lil Sis and her BFF. All quality people whose company I enjoy and who will not decide they never want to be around me again after watching me cry in a movie based on a children's book series (Lil Sis will probably mock, but the rest of them will be kind!).

I have made the BFF faux!angry because I referred to them as our "Goodbye to our childhood tickets." Which honestly is a little ridiculous since I'm 24 and have been living on my own for 2 years now (and by the way--did I mention I just bought a washer and dryer? This made me feel very grownup, for some reason: major appliances = adulthood, apparently!) and she's 22 and is now doing the same. But still, I feel like this movie is the official end of our childhoods somehow.

Anyway, I am quite excited. I will be totally exhausted the next day at work and will doubtless be worthless as far as productivity goes, but I do not care. This is important, okay?

It's gorgeous and warm outside and I'm wearing a sundress and Lil Sis and I cleaned ALL the things and I'm going to the grocery and the pharmacy later and then going to do my taxes and make some phone calls, and I feel like an adult! So productive!

Also did I mention that I went to see In the Heights and it was flawless and I fell in love? And that I've been listening to the original cast recording nonstop ever since? And that I think that the tour cast is better than the original, especially the girl who plays Nina?

AND DOCTOR WHO SOON. AND GAME OF THRONES. AND BORGIAS. AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE EXCELLENT. And soon Parks and Rec will be back and so will Vampire Diaries and I have heard things that make me think there will be some EXCELLENT BONNIE DEVELOPMENT, and have I mentioned that I love television?

In short, this is a good day, and I hope it's good for y'all, too!
