"Eyes of Steel and Heart that Burns..."

Your Soujin, ladies and gentleman, did a hundred-percent day. Yes, your Soujin, your very own small-and-squeaky smiley-faced Soujin. A hundred-percent day. This means that she saw every single one of her people at work. Not half, not most, not ninety-nine percent, but all. All the halls, all the people.

^________________________________________________^

And then she drove to Newport, worked out for an hour, checked the Rite Aid to see that it had everything she needed, and came home and cleaned up the kitchen.

It is also worth noting that she is still alive, and has presents to buy for so many people it's ridiculous (Amy at support group, Kathy in HR, Marianne at the library--).

Also. This morning she did not eat, which resulted in her being given a twenty-dollar bill and sent to the Strawberry Square mall-thingy to get herself lunch. So she went out, bravely, feeling wind-blown and wonderful, and got herself a six-inch sub at Subways, and the lady at the Subways gave her a free white-chocolate-chip macadamia nut cookie, which she took home for Waen, because they are Waen's favourite kind.

And then Soujin scoped out the Hallmark at Strawberry Square, which has everything you could possibly imagine except more of it, and she kind of wants to take Zara and Lillie there, since it has musical cards where you open them and they start playing things like Stand By Me and I Will Survive, and are therefore hilarious.

On the way out, she bought chocolate-covered raisins for her mother. She had a whole twenty-dollar bill.

(She almost bought roses from the man selling them on the street--big pink velvety roses with water on their petals--but she remembered it was not her twenty dollars, so she took it back. But she wanted to buy them and take them in to work and give them to everybody.)

Also, Delores- and Gail!visits both went v.v.v. well.

And she managed to avoid her boss almost entirely, so that she did not get shouted at; and she won a smile from Diane and from Betty, who almost never smile; and made Gayle laugh, and Connie said she was awfully glad that Soujin came in.

What a wonderful, wonderful world.

--Oh, and let me edit. More good things. To-morrow Soujin will finally get to sleep in, which will be wonderful, since she's exhausted, and neither she nor her mother nor her sister have anywhere to go or any tasks to complete, so they shall be able to spend the whole lovely day together doing something that hopefully involves air conditioning. eeee!

^__________________^ Your day sounded amazingly nice--and I got back the letter that I sent you, because I put your name in the sender-place and mine in the receiver-place, but it has got a new envelope now with the names in the right places, so now you shall be getting a letter soon. ^____^

It was awfully nice. ^______^ I was hysterical in the beginning, but after I actually ate, the day got wonderful. And oh--I've done that before, but ohhhhhhhhhh, Gil!letter! ^_________________^ I can't wait!

You're adorable. ^____^ And seeing a happy Soujinpost on my flist makes me smile a lot.

[identity profile] gileonnen.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Seconded!

[identity profile] meteorspark.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
<333! I got that "HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY" paper in the mail today, too. I squealed "I love Soujin" at my mother.

^______________^ Oh, good. The post never fails me. ^___^ --Silly. Twice as.

*SQUOOSH*

I approve of happy Soujins.

*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeams* I will be on in a moment. Am a bit behind on e-mails.

[identity profile] josiana.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yay. ^_^ Things have apparently improved.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
They have! I can't even imagine how it happened.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously. ^______^

I'm so glad you had a marvellous day!

And white-chocolat-chip macadamia cookies are absolute love.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
^_^ Me, too.

I actually don't like either white-chocolate chips or macadamia nuts, but Waen adores them, so it was wonderful.

bottle a hundred-percent soujin and sell it -- it sounds far better than, say, a seven-percent solution -- and promise it will smell of white chocolate chips and roses that were almost bought. *hugs, and spins*

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but does a hundred-percent Soujin have one Sir Laurence Olivier as Professor Moriarty?

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No. It has Professor Moriarty as Professor Moriarty!

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that is bound to be disappointing. The Seven Percent Solution also has Nicol Williamson as Sherlock Holmes, so it is like Hamlet v. Hamlet.

...That sounds fabulous. I want to seeeeeeeee.

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Except that Sir Larry is only in it for like a minute, but he is cuuuute.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
He's Sir Larry. Really, what else do you need?

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely nothing, but Campbell Scott would be nice.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Campbell Scott would make the most ridiculous Holmes ever.

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but that's why it would win.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
True. ^__^

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-08-30 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Silly, silly, silly. Will it produce a high and a lot of giggling? *twirls and squees*

[identity profile] little-lady-d.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
better than laughing gas. ^___^

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-09-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Better for recreational use?

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-09-01 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha.
