This week has been a week of other people falling down on the job and leaving me to clean up their bullshit. I've decided I'm not prioritizing that right now. LJ it is! Normally, Friday is my scramble-to-get-everything-wrapped-up day at the office, since I usually put off the more time-consuming tasks until the end of the week, but since I'm working Monday and Tuesday next week, I feel no such pressure.

I am going to have a fantastic fucking weekend. Actually, probably no fucking. I'm hosting my cousin for the weekend, after all. Virginia =/= West Virginia.

Do people from states that aren't Virginia (or directly bordering WV) make WV jokes? I feel like it's one of the more nationwide prejudices, but my viewpoint is admittedly biased. It's funny how WV ended up with the rap for being the backwoods hicks, when the only reason they became a separate state in the first place was that they were way more progressive than Virginia. Hell, they're still at the cutting edge of 1860's politics.

I had the weirdest fucking dreams last night, and I'm sad that I can only vaguely remember one of them, because when I first stirred from it, I was like "OMG I HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT THIS LOLOLOL." What I do remember is that people around me were trying to write erotic fanfic based on something completely not erotic. Like a textbook or something. I wish I could remember because I know it was hilarious. At least it felt hilarious. You know how you have dreams and it's a great idea or just really amusing and then you start to tell the story out loud and realize it makes no sense or is totally weak? I guess that could be the case here. Anyway.

My other dream, which I do remember, is that this guy was trying to impress me with things that he knows. He gave me a written list of these things, the first of which was that he was one of the only people in the world who knew how to correctly graph a parabola. But the graph didn't make sense. I spent part of the dream trying to make sense of it, and then another part of the dream logicking him about why he was wrong. I did a fucking math proof in my sleep. Not a real one, but still.

I think West Virginia jokes are an east coast thing. I don't remember hearing a single one while I was in Arizona, and it was grand.

One of my old college friends is a stand up comedian and had a similar dream experience last night. She thought she was coming up with all these brilliant jokes in her sleep so she woke in the middle of the night to jot them down and in the morning most were so-so (although a couple had good potential)
