Holy hand grenade! I've been very busy.

So, re: The State of Me. I've started an externship with a local general practice law office and while it's only supposed to be 20 hrs a week I feel like it's taking up all of my time, probably because it is. My boss is all "here, take these files home and read them in your spare time" and in my head I'm all "Excuse me?" and yet I end up reading them in my spare time. For example, last weekend during a hiyacynth-and-family visit. I just, you guys, I don't know what's wrong with me.

BUT, in other news, today, while I was driving home from the library (I have to do all of my research there, it's annoying) I witnessed a hit-and-run traffic accident. I was stopped at a red light when this car came up from behind and flew past me (in the oncoming lane), almost hit another car in the intersection and succeeded in hitting a stopped car. It pealed past and then stopped a couple yards up and waited there while my light turned green. Instead of going back and doing the right thing it blithely continued on its way. However, I came up behind it, took down the license plate number, and turned around and gave it to they guy who'd been hit. I got an actual round of applause from another person who'd stopped to let the guy use her cellphone to call the police.

So that was exciting. I feel all good-citizen-y and stuff. And now if I can only find some good fanfic my day will be complete.

Cheers for you!

And good luck on the fic. I haven't seen much written in a while -- maybe everyone is too keyed up over the new SPN season starting to be able to focus on anything else? But I know you read other fandoms, too, so I wish you success in your search!

You rock! That driver (the one who was hit) will never forget your good-citizenishness. *beams*

Responsible citizens for the win! You rock.

And, p.s., what's up with you and your externship and you actually reading the cases in your spare time--I think you kinda like some parts of lawyerdom. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's because you're all brainsome.

xoxoxo

Hit and run?

Holy cow!
This must be the week for crazy sh**, I mean stuff. Took Ray to dinner for his birthday, and just after we crossed the street we heard a loud thunk behind us. A minivan was trying to, well, we're not sure what it was trying to do. But it succeeded in crashing into a giant pole on the street corner, and nearly missed a pedestrian. Makes me want to think twice about ever leaving the house again. It's just dangerous!

Have I told you lately that you're my hero? (now I feel the need to sing). Have I told you that you are an action movie star? Like a lawyer superhero. OMG, you're Birdgirl!! You will fight crime - in and out of the courtroom! With your trusty bird/secretary Avenger - and your boss Harvey Birdman! And Peanut, if he ever comes back from Vegas where he went with the Mob and Potamus.

You need some Harvey Birdman icons for when you are talking about lawyer-hood stuffs.
