thoughts and surprises

Well, there's a thief in our midst. About an hour ago, I reached into my flip-cabinet for my bottle of Love Spell lotion and discovered that it was gone. After searching to make sure I hadn't misplaced it, I went to alert my co-workers. The Case of the Missing Lotion has now taken over the department. Also, one of my bosses, who keeps a sweater in her cube, keeps finding the sweater in a different place from where she left it. We called security and told them about it, just so they'll have their eyes open if something bigger happens. I'm sad. How lame is it to steal someone's lotion? Out of their cabinet? I really liked that lotion. And it was a present from my mom. :(

Did anyone see Without A Trace last night? I like that show- it's without a doubt the twistiest show on TV. I like having no clue what's going to happen. If you only saw the beginning and end of any episode, you wouldn't even know it was the same story. Last night, I recognized the girl from Ernest Saves Christmas, playing a bit part. I always wondered what happened to that girl.

Lawson showed up unannounced at my door at 10:00 last night, with his Spock costume on. Since I'm still kind of jumpy and wasn't expecting anyone, his knock on the door scared me to death. His costume didn't help. :) It was elaborate and well-done, but scary. Lawson, you need to wear that next Halloween. Seriously.

I've been reading a lot this week- I've plowed through about five books since Saturday. I feel sort of dumb because I usually prefer young adult and children's fiction to anything else. It's not that I can't understand adult-oriented books- I just don't enjoy them as much. But I had a huge revelation about this yesterday. When I wrote my story for creative-writing class, which some of you have read, the complaint from my classmates and teacher was that the two main characters weren't sleeping together. I'm not kidding. They said it was completely unrealistic. They also assumed, based on this, that the characters were high-school age (even though I had written them as college students). When I stopped to think about it, I realized that almost all the adult books I've read (except for Christian ones like Janette Oke's) have sexual content...unless the writer is trying to show how confused and repressed the character is by having him/her stay abstinent. This is annoying. I can't relate to that stuff, and I don't want to read it. So I generally stick to the younger books. I guess this makes me, and my writing, perpetually immature. Watch and see how much I care. :P

Hooray for Friday!
