a hazard to myself

Oh, professional envy, you're freaking hilarious.

Someone I've known since at least the 7th grade, the guy who sat next to me in senior English, has been nominated for an Emmy for writing.

I had that whole "THAT'S AMAZING, I'm so happy for--Oh my god, what am I doing with my life?" reaction one expects to have.

Well, at least, that's what I expect to have.

I started to laugh my rear off at myself almost right away, though.

Good thing. :)
