I like sarameg's definition the best.
But do you understand it?
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Huh. Turns out that migraine meds and insomnia meds do not play badly together though I was fairly, um, relaxed right before I fell asleep. And I woke up early early with no Ambien hangover feeling and no rebound headache. Praise the pharms.
This is wonderful. Can I tag?Absolutely.
For all values of "missed" that include having a lengthty AIM discussion on?You know, Lee, now that you mention it... Yeah, there was enticing.
but the blue-painted clansman who lives at the bottom of my brain won't let me forget it.Memory of an elephant, that guy. I've got a relative of his in my brain...
Google is actually my main spellcheck for posting here (when I only want to check a single word).Mine too actually.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you have more than one adjective modifying the same noun, do they get a comma? As in "a large, above ground vault".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A large, toasty hamburger.
Yeah, I think so....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Half my job is taking messages. It's always so funny to say "Would you like to leave a message?" and have the caller say yes and then wait for a beep.
Oh, lord, yes, -t. I thought I was the only one! There's always the long, long silence, and the bewildered question about the voice mail, to which the increasingly weary answer is "I am the voice mail." You'd think that leaving a message with an actual human would be a novelty, but the caller is almost invariably bewildered and mournful at the prospect.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I intended that to be a sympathetic bitter-fest, but perhaps I was too terse. Was not mocking. Was wishing that I could have a day free of obligation right along with you.
Sorry about that. Pre-interview hysteria.
The nice lady would like a writing sample, so I think I made it to the next round. This is going to take forever.
Of course, meteorologists have upgraded the storm to 12 inches, so I may get that day tomorrow...
I swear to god, I would never leave my house during winter. I would huddle in a fetal position in front of a fire for four months.
As in "a large, above ground vault".
Yes, and you need a hyphen between above and ground.

It's like you're right here, answering my phone! Except when they say "Is there voice mail?" I say "there's just me".
Leaving the comma in.

You know, if it weren't for the whole stupid need-to-get-paid deal, I would.

Yes, and you need a hyphen between above and ground.Dana = wise.
I just had an appointment moved an hour. I was about to leave for it. Think I will leave anyway and stop by the zoo for the time. Because I can hike for 40 minutes and not stress that I am not going to the gym because my yoga pants are filthy rantybrain. And there are naked mole rats.
