his boss and I arranged for a dinner at a tapas restaurant, with only the colleagues that are special to him and his family, only one small speech. Lots of cards and gifts.

2:07 am

sprite

2:07 am

sprite

night Kam

2:11 am

sprite

lol... the last half year, he had a very very frustrating superior who didn''t know her ass from her face and he got so worked up about it. And I kept repeating: NOT your monkey, NOT your circus. As a mantra. Yesterday, one of his colleagues gave him a monkey doll that makes music, and when you hit it on the head, it screams at you. Rob laughed so hard!

2:30 am

grannyrose

2:32 am

sprite

I'll app you a vid

2:35 am

grannyrose

2:35 am

i begged my parents to buy a piano so i could learn. they said if we buy it you have to promise to stick with it for 2 years. i was sick of it after 2 weeks. they made me keep going for the whole 2 years. i think they thought i would change my mind, but i didn't. when i quit my mom said, "you'll regret not being able to play when you're an adult". and i said, "no i won't, i'll just remember how much i hated practicing."
