It's been a freaking day.

[stoney321]

I've been called stupid [LITERALLY. THEY CALLED ME STUPID AND I ALMOST MURDERED SOMEONE], I've been flat out lied to, and I've had to make a thousand phone calls (slight exaggeration) and I haaaaaaate making phone calls.

Here are the friends seeing me through the night. They're awesome friends. (Erm, Inspiri was my friend last night, too. I'm a two glass at a time purist. EXCEPT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS TODAY.)

HEY DON'T JUDGE ME IS BACK ONLINE. (Clear your cache if you're not seeing it.) Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drink more wine and read filthy porn. /coping mechanism

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO CALLED YOU STUPID? WHERE ARE THEY SO THAT I CAN INFLICT BODILY AND/OR MENTAL HARM UPON THEM???

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

WHO DO YOU THINK?

And I fully support you doing that! Like, 100%!

....after I'm finished with him. :)

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

It's morning, so I'll use my quiet voice, but I am utterly enraged on your behalf.

But also I love you! <3 <3 <3

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaand that person is spending the entire day elsewhere. After sleeping elsewhere. One of those I was in charge of.

EMAILING!

Nice, you got wine from my neck of the woods. Sonoma County, did you know it's ranked number two in the world for wine? Even as a person who doesn't drink wine, I was pretty proud of my county for that.

Oh and Napa did good too, they ranked third. (BUT WE STILL BEAT THEM! WHAT NOW BITCHES!)

I'm sorry you had a crap day! But you can pretend I'm drinking with you entertaining you with my drunken antics!

That's because Napa is for auto parts. SONOMA IS WHERE THE GOOD WINE LIVES.

Damn straight! Ugh, I had this professor at Sonoma State that lived in Napa and would not stop about how Napa had the better wine, and I was like, "Dude, a)this is economics, not wine business, b) YOU'RE IN SONOMA COUNTY! STFU!" (granted I said that in my head, but still...)

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Where are you in Sonoma? We lived in Petaluma. I miss it every damn day.

[maplelump.livejournal.com]

No fucking way! I live in Petaluma!! Been here my whole life!

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

STFU!



We moved there 11-12 years ago, and stayed for just over 6 years. But then my husband became disabled and we couldn't afford it anymore. I mean, we could have. If we lived in a box. Heh.

We lived on Keokuk St. at the top of the hill. OMG I MISS downtown SO MUCH. The FOOD. The wine. THE FOOD. SIGH. So much.

I miss San Fran a lot too. It's my city. It's home.

We live in Co. now and I love it here, but it's not the same.

Dude! I live on Park Ave (next to Oak Hill Park), just a couple blocks from Keokuk!

I hear you on the costs of living, I'm very lucky my parents paid off their house years ago (they've been here for almost 40 years), and mom lets me stay rent free while I earn enough money to get out on my own. Like, without her, I doubt I could afford to live in SC. Ridiculous.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

SHUT UP.

Can't believe we never met, actually. I met a few fandom people when I lived there. Did you not know Stoney then?

I miss the breakfast restaurants. The Tea Room. Della Fratoria (sp?). SIGHHHHHHH.

[maplelump.livejournal.com]

No! Growing up, all I did was ride. I had no time for anything else.

I only really discovered fandom in college. That totally bums me out that I could have met you awesome peeps back then.

The Tea Room

Now I'm hungry, and they're closed for the day. :(

[maplelump.livejournal.com]

Am I the zebra or the lion in this analogy?

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

*headtilt*

... I am uncertain. It's kind of hard to tell who is even winning.

Everything here is making me happy.

IT'S LIKE THE GOOD Ol' DAYS OF FANDOM AGAIN!!

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

[maplelump.livejournal.com]

YAY!! I was worried we would be annoying you with all these alerts you're getting because of the gif battle.

Mmmmm, do I enjoy Sonoma wine! Napa is okay, but I tend to look for Alexander Valley in particular. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

<3 <3 <3

*hugs you back*

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

SONOMA WIIIIIIINE. I miss you, man. *weeps and grabs your wine bottle when you're not looking*

Also, point me at the person who called you stupid. I will punch them in the kidney. I haven't had a good kidney punch lately, and I feel a need coming on. Interestingly enough, when I say that at work, they feed me chocolate. I MIGHT HAVE A BIT OF A REPUTATION FOR KIDENY PUNCHING IS WHAT I AM SAYING.

*cough*

Also I might have had some fruity drink thing with dinner. HEY. DON'T JUDGE ME, YO.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

SEE THE REPLY TO FM.

Hey! So the CEO of the company who fucked me over (Cloudflare, sorry, not done being angry) has been tweeting me, which is nice of HIM but that doesn't change who his employees are, you know?

(Ugh, I have three emails in my inbox from him/Cloudflare and I don't even want to LOOK at them.)

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

In that case, may I recommend:

[cindergal.livejournal.com]

I endorse and support this coping mechanism.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I am high fiving you and sliding over the cheese board. :D

[shadowkat67.livejournal.com]

Hee. Had the same bad week and drank three glasses of wine - mine were
Leitz Resiling (http://www.amazon.com/Josef-Leitz-Riesling-Dragonstone-2012/dp/B007KX66A8) a smart dry fruity wine, no heartburn, and Vin Gris De Cigare (http://www.amazon.com/2012-Bonny-Doon-Vineyard-Cigare/dp/B00BLBKBKQ").

And oh - this was posted by Janis Ian on FACE Book and I posted it my journal here:

I LIKE BOTH OF THOSE POSITIVE BITS OF AWESOME, THANK YOU!! :D

Wine is the nectar of the gods. Wine is your friend. Wine will soothe the jagged edges of your soul. Wesley says, "Have another glass of wine."

(I've got a bottle of my own tonight. DUDE. WHAT A WEEK.)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

RIGHT?!?!???!? Hahahha. I'm saying that in my 16 year old daughter's voice. (Except now it's "TRUE!" or "SAME!" which doesn't work grammatically, but who ever thinks of slang as being grammatically correct?)

I AM CLINKING MY GLASS TO YOURS. Here's to this week ENDING. *snugs against you*

[lynnenne]

Seriously, Sonoma County reds are THE BEST OF FRIENDS.

Anybody who would call you stupid needs a brain transplant.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS, INDEED! (That Inspiri is a club purchase as they only make 20 barrels, and I GOT HALF A CASE, HA HA! MINE IS A TRIUMPHANT LAUGH!)

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

Yay, back online!

And hey, I bought plane tix for my trip to Austin, so I hope we'll have a chance to meet up while I'm in your neck of the woods. October 22-28. Wooooot!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

SO HAPPY ABOUT IT, OMG. (And it only took a mini twitter war with their freaking CEO and tech support lead! I'M STILL IN SHOCK.)

Very cool! If there's a way I can be down there, I'd enjoy a margarita or nine!

[ladycyndra.livejournal.com]

Drink a glass for me!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Heck, I'm so generous, I'll drink two! ;)

[rocketlaunching.livejournal.com]

I lost my shit once at a guy in a bar because he called me a bimbo. Call me a bitch, slut, whore etc. just do not call me stupid. Because I'm not. You showed amazing restraint and class and I am proud of you.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Jeezum crow, am I too late to assemble a posse? Because that is not on.

Your wine choices however, are! *scribbles them down as recs*

Filthy porn! It is a dirtywrong haven in an uncaring world! <3

[teh-dirty-robot.livejournal.com]

heeeeeey so I saw that HDJM is down (this is not news to you) and I was wondering if there was anything I can do to help?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Thank you for wanting to help, that's very generous of you! But we've been back online for a few days now. You might try clearing your cache? (The problem was Cloudflare deleting our DNS records on accident.)
