Jury Duty: complete! and Twilight-related! Who knew??

OK, so I just found out what many of you may already know: KStew and I had jury duty at the same time. We both served on juries the first part of last week, although her case sounded more interesting and she caused a little controversy by taking a photo with a security guard, which didn't happen to me, but other than that, it's like we're the same person.

I even wore a blue shirt to court! What are the odds!
(Note: this pic is from accesshollywood.com, not her actual jury duty appearance. Darn. ;-)

Seriously, though, I totally get a kick out of this. I've always deferred jury duty before, I even deferred this one when I was originally called (at Christmas-time, as if I was really going to serve then), and delayed it until March 1st. So it was clearly meant to be.

Channeling Pauly Shore

This'll be rather brief, since it can't have any sort of details. I got chosen to be on a jury in a civil case today. Remember my drama with jury duty on Friday night? I was hardly the only one who forgot to return that eligibility form on time, so everything was fine when I went in today, and ultimately I have been empaneled and my service might last through Wednesday (!!) - my boss was none too pleased, but what can you do? So I spent today listening to testimony and arguments and occasionally daydreaming (when no one was talking, of course) about jury-related fanfic (I just started reading Hiding In Plain Sight by limona), but I still don't know if I'll ever get around to writing any. Although now, at least, I'll have some experience!

This is what I'm thinking of wearing tomorrow

I didn't write my television blog last weekend, although I doubt I have a lot of people clamoring for it. I had nothing to say, and I didn't want to just write a lame post. ... Alright, full disclosure, I started to write a lame post and WordPress booted me for no good reason, and I hadn't saved the draft, so I didn't want to rewrite a lame post. You're welcome. In this instance, I really think WP had my best interests at heart.

I know this blog isn't very focused yet, but I'm working on that. I don't want it to just be another Twilight blog, partially because I don't have a whole lot that's original to say on that subject (although, when I do, you'll know), and partially because there are so many good ones out there, I'm a little intimidated. But thanks for reading, and I'll do my best to keep it interesting!

Coming soon: a regular Thirsty Thursday post. Come back for that! Happy Monday, kittens!

Jury Duty

I am a total FAIL at jury duty, and I'm not even called until Monday. I got the day off and arranged everything with my boss, but somehow failed to notice that I was supposed to send in an eligibility form that they needed "no later than a week before your jury duty is scheduled to begin." Read: last Monday they needed it. I still have it. Total fail.

This just sums up my week.

I don't know what will happen - I'm worried they'll make me come back another day and I'll have to explain all this to my boss. Since the whole thing makes me look like an idiot, I just can't wait to have that conversation. I have no idea what happens if you don't return the stupid form, the court website is less than helpful on this front, but I can't be the only person to ever have failed to get them the form on time, right?

Shit.
