Finally, I have friends that are halfway reliable to hang out with!

And who, you might ask?

None other than the lovely, wonderful, and talented Mantis and her boyfriend! (Hey. I sang your collective praises. Pierce something for me. Of course I don't mean free.)

After they got their first two carloads of furniture up, I had them over for sandwiches and a few songs in Rock Band before they decided they had to had to HAD TO get back to Houston that night (and, unless I missed my mark, that put them back here at 5 in the morning!). The next, I went over to have Jim utterly hand me my ass on a Hefty plate, with some chicken for us and tofu for her. I ate the damn tofu too, and that shit used to scare me. She might convert me yet. And have more chance to do it, now that they're literally on the next hill over.

But they're all safe. I went to see her at the shop between a Government exam and work, and she was just beginning to settle into her booth. Funny enough, she's having to go backwards through papers to correct the mistakes of her predecessors, same as me. (Of course, sometimes it's guys who come and go in the space of two months, leaving a trail of devastation, but who's counting?)

Other than that, the 3/4 mark of the semester passed with three exams and two seminars, with another coming Tuesday. I think I'll actually make it through on my own volition for a change. Which is nice.

I'm starving. Peace.
