On discovering an ambiguity (if not in the real world, then in my mind): "Hearty or hardy? Or both?" [Answer (as just retrieved from Merriam Webster): both.]
On wanting a pedicure before my vacation: "Is it too cold? And why, dear god, WHY am I living in a climate where the temps actually get too cold to brave the quick dash from the salon to my car in flip-flops?"
On LOST, the ABC drama about a plane crashing on an island (and so much more), "I love you. Why are you coming back to me when I'll be half a world away? Thank god you (and the two episodes I'll miss) will be here for me (at http://www.abc.com/) when I return."
On getting defrauded on ebay: "Really? The $65 you just got from me is worth the ruse of creating an ebay advertisement, seller profile and paypal profile? Huh. Well, good thing I'm covered by paypal."
On knowing I should be trying to watch what I eat, but wanting that rich, creamy, hearty/hardy, cold-banishing soup for lunch, "Fuck it. Soup it is."
On working the week before I go to Thailand, "Work? What work? I'm not supposed to be sitting around thinking of things like SNUBA, kayaking through karst formations and golden buddhas all day?"
On trying to figure out the U.S. dollar to Thai baht conversion, "I'm really terrible at this. Note to self: Bring a calculator."
On trying to figure out the time difference: "If it's 8:00 a.m. here and Thailand's 13 hours ahead, then it must be 7:00 p.m. there. Wait ... (on fingers) 1, 2, 3 ... . I'm really terrible at this, too."
On inquiry as to whether I'm getting nervous, "Fuck no! Excited? Yes. Nervous? No."
On clarification as to whether I'm getting nervous about getting everything at work done, "Oh ... I guess I haven't really thought about work or getting it all done. But I suppose I should be."
