8:38 Sunday Evening   Glass Hazard I got to smash a souvenir glass from a party I worked at last night. The company who we were catering to had these glasses with their logo and motto printed on them for the folks at their dinner to take home. But the folks at their dinner didn't want the chipped ones (they were quite cheap, obviously), and just left them there. When we cleaned up, we collected them and set them on the outcatering counter in the kitchen for anyone who wanted one to take one. It was most excellent--Tomas and I had previously discussed the need for destruction that pops up every now and again...particularly (he says) at finals week and (I say) after one of those parties. (we were understaffed and running slow. we were late.) So Tomas took one and threw it in the trash. It made the nicest tinkling noise. When i thought no one was looking i took mine and i threw it as hard as i could throw into the trash. It was the most satisfying smash, tinkle, TSHHHHHh I have heard recently. But Ruth was looking and she asked me if I was okay. Anyway i smell kind of like garbage. YAY I LOVE MY JOB BECAUSE IT MAKES ME SMELL SO GOOD YAY WOO HOO AWESOME RAHRAHPANTSPOOMBAH! The sound of breaking glass is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. Except when it's something breaking that really really wasn't supposed to break. Then it is a scary noise that stresses one out even more... but man when I'm rich, I'm going to have a room designated specifically to smashing glass things. This is the diagram I've just come up with, including the fancy sign i'll put on the door. The safety room is the one that would come out into the hall. It would have like, protective eyewear, and a fullbody suit or something to avoid being cut with the shattering glass, and so that when you're coming out of the glass shattering room, you can be sure you've gotten rid of all the shards before tracking them into my hallway. it might also have a crate of cheap glass items you can carry into the room to throw against the walls. it will be wonderful. the floor will be lenoleum or something really smooth and plastic for easy clean up. should one really want to clean up. But anyway, yeah. I love that I'm feeling so calm while talking/fantasizing about throwing glassware against the wall as hard as i can. ----------------- 9:59 p.m. So when i get married, i'm gonna have 3 bridesmaids i think. Mandy, Kaitlin (cos I've known them since i was three), and Chelsea (because she's my sister and I've known her since I was 5). Only three because as they are my oldest friends and sibling, they can't complain about the hideous dresses I give them to wear. I mean...they can but they wouldn't refuse just because i want them to wear burlap sacks. so i'm home free.
