now, this is getting a little ridiculous.

jesus, mary and joseph, someone up there in the scheduling department is clearly having a huge laugh at my expense. we're now up to four random people from my past making an appearance.
this time, it's the lovely L (henceforth referred to as "scully," to be explained later in the post) that has resurfaced, at long last. one of my nearest and dearest in high school, i've barely heard from her since the fated day we assumed the mantles of mulder and scully to host the talent show. naturally, i'm thrilled. and unsurprisingly, i'm in a panic over how in the hell i'm going to clear the decks to see her before she leaves on saturday. at the moment, the most promising option appears to be flaking on Boy tomorrow night; we were supposed to go see a screening of some  french film. while he's given me his blessing, i confess that there's the tiny twinge of guilt. so not really promising. but as i've said so frequently, something's got to give.
and you know, if something is giving, there's not much better reason than to do it for an old friend.

but seriously. four people in two weeks. the scheduling department is entirely too entertained by me right now.
