Dear life,

Hello, how are you? I've really enjoyed getting to know you so far, and am looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with you. Towards this end, I have a few suggestions that might help both of us get along better, because I can't help but notice things being a little off between us lately.

First, I would like to point out that, while I try to be a patient and intelligent person, placing me with a company where I am alternately expected to sit and do precisely nothing one second and then decipher complex, near-telepathic codes from a man who is either a very humane troll or an extremely trollish human is really pushing it. And not in the good way. I can only assume that you are testing me either on my fortitude of patience or the extent of my stupidity re: how long I put up with this crap. If I could just get a hint on which of these two it really is, that'd be great, and I'll adjust my plans accordingly. I can be both very patient and very stupid, just to let you know.

I also cannot help but notice the unusual number of surprises we've been experiencing recently. Good surprises such as seeing Carmen, being told I might get to go see the premier of Goblet of Fire, and even the chance to go with a friend to see a play tonight are wonderful. However, surprises like being told today that I need to bring roughly $3,000 in cash to a meeting with my landlord tomorrow morning and that my ex-boyfriend and roommate are getting married out of the blue can throw one for quite a loop. Having all of this happen along with a very stressful time at work has really strained our relationship.

I'm not going anywhere, life, don't worry about that. I'm with you for the long haul. But given my family's history, I thought I'd point out that the long haul isn't going to be very long if this pace keeps up. Heck, I nearly had an aneurism in my boss's office a little while ago.

Now, on my end, I recognize that there are a number of things I could do to improve our dynamic, such as exercise and clean my room more. I should also get my butt in gear and get organized, which will help cut down on the chaos. Also, I want to really and truly thank you for hooking me up with some wonderful friends and family this time around, who do so much to keep me sane and happy no matter what happens. (Clue me in on what I did in my last incarnation to deserve them, 'cause boy-howdy do I want them on the next go, too!) I'm trying to give back as good as I get, also.

So that's about it here, life. In summary: Let's figure our crap out and have some chill time. Sound good? I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to heaven.

Love,

Abby

I adore you, Abby. *HUGS tight*

[psychick.livejournal.com]

Willow! YOU ARE TOTALLY ONE OF THE FRIENDS WHOM I REFER TO IN MY LETTER TO LIFE!

[the-babycat.livejournal.com]

*grins* I had hoped. And you are truly part of my sanity. Gods, without the friends I have now, even if they live in a little box, I don't know what I would do.

[psychick.livejournal.com]

Friend friend friend. *cling*

AH THE COUNT!

Dude, that icon is so wrong. SO VERY WRONG! @_@

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ruthven_/]

Isn't it? It makes me full of glee. Ah-ah-ah.

[sealpup-otter.livejournal.com]

Abby, I miss you, and though I don't seem to comment much, I look forward to your entries, and am inspired by the courage and endurance you display daily by continuing to survive in NYC. You were a very important force to me at St. Mary's, a positive artistic and intelligent force, with a very big heart and a very calming and wise nature. I want you to know that, though hopefully you already do.

Be gone with this life rubbish, I hopes. It must and will leave you alone!

[psychick.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much Jolene. I loff you too, you were one of the hands-down coolest and most wonderful people I met at college, and I miss you and Jesse a lot. Although I admit your continuing adventures in Alaska are always amusing. Other people would be boring, but NOT YOU TWO! :D

Also...your icon is staring at me with GIANT ALIEN EYES in a baby seal's head. Clearyl, the seal has eaten the alien and intergalactic war is upon us. @_@

You are simply the most darling woman I know. I can't think of anything else to say, except I'll write you from Afghanistan.

[psychick.livejournal.com]

...Uh. Qua? I sense that I have missed something VITALLY IMPORTANT. @_@

[mandorla.livejournal.com]

Just a job I'm looking at. And desperately hoping to get.

[psychick.livejournal.com]

Afghanistan, I would like to note, is quite far away. And possibly full of people who will heckle you for cultural reasons.
/concern

Ooo, Afghanistan! Rock out and good luck!

[mandorla.livejournal.com]

Done something similar before, got paid FAR LESS. And I'd be civilian this time.

a)I love that you used the phrase "boy-howdy." In my opinion, it is not used enough.
b)Miss you, Abelina! Hopefully I will be up there to visit you and Shawn sometime before the new year.
c)Happy Birthday tomorrow!!!

Re: Abbyabbyabbyabbyabby

[psychick.livejournal.com]

a) You're darn-tootin'!
b) GOOD COME VISIT OMG!
c) Thaaank you. I won't be 23 anymore! You can like me again!

[maastrictian.livejournal.com]

Hugs. Jess and I are always there (or here from my persective) to give you whatever you need.

YOU(plural) ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE AMAZING FRIENDS STATEMENT!

You know what I did while trapped in the brain-drain that is my boss's office today? I sat down and thought to myself what the months would be like if we'd kept numbering them sequentially rather than throwing in so many god/emperor names:

January (janus is cool)
Unuary
Duovember
Tertember
Quatember
Quintember (when people get betrayed and eaten!)
Sextember
September
November
December
July (because we like Julius Ceasar and I thought it would be funny. Also Undecember sounds weird.)

((hit and run hugs from one of the fringy people *g*))

[psycherkat.livejournal.com]

**hugs** sometimes being a grown-up sucks. i prescribe massive amounts of chocolate, tea, and harry potter. immediately!

i'm thinking of ya, hon. miss you.

[nekedgurl.livejournal.com]

$3000.... !!?! Man, I would have passed out. As we are both in the same age group I understand where your coming from dear. Know that I think about you and miss you and if you ever need a friend when your down, just call. Let me know when you're down for the holidays, I don't like the though that Abby will never be in my life again. What are you're plans for New Years? (like you have time to make any!) I get a week off from work.

Things will be alright, promise!

[nekedgurl.livejournal.com]

The thought that I will never see you again is saddnening!!!

[nekedgurl.livejournal.com]

ok fine, I can't spell.

*hugs*

bye!

Oh sweetie, i miss you. I read everyday to see if my dear high school friends in NYC have said anything. I like to hear what is going on in your life even if it is feeling stunted at the moment. Sorry bout the ex gettin married thing, i know (from personal experience) that it sucks, and is weird and freeing all at once. I so hope that you can go to the G.O.F. opening. i cant wait to see it!!!! much love and hope to see you soon, or at least on June 24th 2006 :)



Love, hugs, and kisses

If you are home for the holidays then we should have coffee or something.

[catie-kat.livejournal.com]

That was me by the way :-) We should catch up on old times.

[knightsbridge.livejournal.com]

1.) Hugs from the Bronx!!!

2.) That line about the "very humane troll or an extremely trollish human" made me giggle. I can't be giggling. I have a reputation for spreading strife. Besides fun is not allowed at my job.

3.) You rock! Truly. :-)

[badbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Abeline, dearest of forgetful queenly sisters, I wish I had better words for you; heck I wish I had a better world for you. get out of the job, hon, don't let it keep doing this to you. I have an apartment in a beautiful VA valley, with a fireplace. Come visit.

Also many happy birthdays, happiest of birthdays and then some! Do something you love, and try not to think about the people you loved who hurt you, but the people you loved who still love you back. Also, did you get my e-mail asking for your address? I have a card and present with your name on it (well the card does, the present kind of goes with), just waiting to be sent. Let me know!

Emoting love at you. You'll never be forgotten, you vibrant woman.

[sednakate.livejournal.com]

Hi Sweetie,

Sorry life has been exessively chaotic as of late. We should do lunch sometime... since if I recall we're working in similar neighborhoods or something. You do still believe in lunch right? I miss you much!

Keep your chin up and I'm always here for you.

I want to just grab you and run, very fast, to an island where mostly (or entirely) naked boys cater to our every whim. And have sex with each other. *sigh* I'm very dismayed. Like, a lot. Because I want you to be happy.
To that end!!! I will be be a mostly dressed woman who will cater to your every whim when I arrive in NYC on Thursday. Just tell me what you want. And I'll do everything in my power to secure those HP tickets for you. But if I can't, we'll just have to go drinking with Maya. And drown our woes in cider. And kaluah based drinks. Preferably shakes.
*loves you lots*

[psychick.livejournal.com]

*purrrr*

Dude. I am kharmatically paying for those tickets in advance. Or something.

Perhaps we can have those drinks in a place where naked or nearly-naked boys who like boys will dance for us. I have friends who know places. ;-)

[thursdaystgiles.livejournal.com]

Oooh, talk dirty to me!
At the very least I will have mostly naked Philip dressing in drag for you to see. And then you can get all guilty, and stuff.
Anyway, I demand that you pick a broadway show, just in case HP doesn't happen. And then we can get all dolled up and all boozed up, and then be amused by dancing, singing people. Because really, it is absurd.

[thran.livejournal.com]

Did the thing with the security deposit work out, or are they not going to let you apply my money to your lease? I'm not sure if I can help, but let me know anyway.

[psychick.livejournal.com]

No, not without a notorized letter from you. Which they neglected to tell me until today. *DEEEEEAAATH!* Things're...working out though. Should be ok. And! You get a big check when I tell them where to mail it! :D

[thran.livejournal.com]

Um, is this meeting tomorrow? Because I could go to it, which might be even better. I'm not working until 4.

[thran.livejournal.com]

(Call me with at least 90 minutes notice tomorrow and I'll be there, that is. I'm sorry I haven't been taking care of this myself. I suck.)

Abby,

I am most sorry to hear about your troubles. You do not deserve any of them. *Many hugs* You certainly deserve much happiness. You are adored and missed by many--myself included. As well you should be :-) I pity those who do not know you, as they are missing out on so much. To heck with life, I say. It's not really needed anyhow. Be strong. As you are. And Happy Birthday!

Wendell

"Boy-howdy"

I love you for many many many reasons, but one of them is definitely that you also use 'heck' and 'boy-howdy' in earnest.

Its wierd, an ex is an ex for a reason, but still when you see them get with someone else, or engaged in this case, do you ever get that knot in your stomach or that bunched in the chest feeling? I am sorry you are shocked. and man, 3000 bucks!? OY......gevalt.
Well, what doesn't kill us.....will hopefully kill someone else deserving of it. You are not one of those people.
