Just woke up. Had nightmares. Catching up on sleep from last night, because unlike bella I had to work yesterday. Having a stressful week already, as we unfortunately had to fire someone yesterday and the person who was supposed to cover for them until we get someone new might not be able to which means a lot more work for me. Also, went to meeting yesterday morning and found out that the client has changed their strategy, meaning I have to change my plans, but wasn't planning on telling us because they don't think it's a strategy change. Plus, I have a ton of fandom work to do, which I really really want to do. At least the fact that I have so much due this Friday at work means that I can't do any business travel this week. Plus, my emotional reserves are very close to low. So if you find that I'm a bit short with you in chat, please call me on it. It's nothing to do with you. I'm not angry with any of you. Actually, I probably need you more than ever. Not that I really want to talk too much about any of this. In fact, if you're having difficulties at the moment, bring them on. Anything to get my head out of my own ass.

Okay, that said, and grouchiness admitted to, please excuse me if this sounds petty, BUT. Cassie is definitely fabulous. She has great connections, gets to go to groovy shindigs, the whole nine yards. Not only that, but she and I are at about the same level of starfuckerness:
Clio: "Oh, look, there's Tommy Lee."
Cassie: "Huh. Why was Pamela with him, anyway?"
Clio: "He has a really big dick."
Cassie: "Makes sense."
Clio: "Ooh! Miniburgers!"
You look, you register, you joke, you move on. You don't get all that excited because really who cares, you don't approach them because really what do they have to say to you, but you notice because hey, that's fun. Besides, you're really there for the booze and the food.

So given that she and I behave pretty much the same at parties like that, and given that neither gehenna1 nor ali_wildgoose are up on popular music so they wouldn't have cared much about seeing Kid Rock, Cassie was the natural person to bring with me.

That's right, I said bring with ME. Because nowhere in her post does she say that she brought me--you all just assumed that. But I have a groovy job, and I get invited to groovy parties, and I bring people with me. I just wanted to stake my claim to the very tiny amount of coolness that I DO have.

And now, off to work I go.

*snorts* those of us who know you, know you're cool, dahlink...and there's nothing "tiny" about it :)

You are so much with the coolness. You have a rainbow Koosh in your office. There is no more coolness than that.

And BTW, I double-taked (double-took?) at evil_erato's userpic. I was like..."Hang on...I know that armchair. That's...that's Clio's armchair!"

*glomps and pines for home*

[evil-erato.livejournal.com]

Hee hee :) Now you know my little secret - my only cool comes from knowing Clio ;) Who, as we all know, is the Queen of Cool. We just have to convince her of it!

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Hey, did you give me a muse icon and I'm just a bitch and never used it? Was it before I was comfortable in the Clio shoes? Cause damn, I want one. Pleeeease?

Re:

[evil-erato.livejournal.com]

It's on its way :)

[jlh.livejournal.com]

"Did a double-take" actually. Double-take is a noun.

We pine for you too, baby. Counting the days.

You know, this is why I don’t get super jealous when I read about people seeing or meeting celebrities. I might get a little “aw, that would have been neat!” pang, but otherwise...as you say, what would they have to say to me, and therefore, meh. It’s more fun reading about other people seeing/meeting them, because of your comments and impressions.

Although, I think I could have lived without encountering commentary on Tommy Lee’s schlong size.... ;)

(Hope you feel better!)

You and Cassie are both too cool for words.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time with work and FA overloads right now. Anything I can do?

*hug*

[jlh.livejournal.com]

FA doesn't overload at all. It wasn't FA that I was referring to; it's something else that will reveal itself at week's end. BUT, I really really want to do the work. I just have to get time to do it before Friday.

However, speaking of FA, I sent a question to you on YM.

Thanks! *hugs*

Babe, you have scads and scads of cool. Just thought you should know.

I'm going to go back to being crazy now. *wibbles mindlessley*

[jlh.livejournal.com]

YOU are with the lovely. And just think, in a few days you'll be just fine. *vast hugs of support* muah

Re:

[misscora.livejournal.com]

*accepts hugs greatfully*

Yes, just a few more days... just a few more days... just a few more days...

it's a new mantra!

[titanic-days.livejournal.com]

You too cool for Cassie's ass.

[thegraybook.livejournal.com]

You, you keep my ass our of this.

*makes dude noise at Clio* It didn't occur to me that anyone would think I brought you. I got nothin' going on with the music industry. I am with the movie stuff. Will clear up on my LJ later in suitable "Tribute to Clio" manner.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Dude, it weren't you, as I said. It was other people's assumptions (see aja's LJ) and my vague grouchiness this morning. It weren't you at all. *muah*

Oh, and you left your satchel of glow in my bathroom. Will return when I see you again.

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

Wah, I am guilty, I did not know. Alas, for I am a sorry t00b. Also I just realized I do not know what you do for a living.

But never let be said that you are not much with the coolness. Your coolness reigns supreme over us all.

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

At least you have *some* coolness. Embrace it. I have none and thus must watch your coolness from afar.

[blackholly.livejournal.com]

I must also pay tribute to your coolness. You are too cool for school, missy.
