Heh -- depending on how I'm feeling, the "what do you do?" question can be answered by "I'm in publishing" or "I work for [Major Publishing Company]" or "I'm a Software Applications Architect" or "I program Notes databases for sales and marketing" or "I write fantasy and horror."
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to be able to tote lots of crap, but I also need to fit into downtown parking.
I've heard good things about the ugly¹ Scion on those counts.
¹I know you love yours, Betsy, but I gotta be true to my ew.
I want a Prius next, or one of whatever hybrids are on the market in '06.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have now sampled Cricket Cola. It is microbrewed and made with cane sugar, kola nut and green tea. Pretty tasty. The cane sugar really makes a difference. And you can really taste the tea, yet it still tastes like cola.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh. I was lured upstairs by the promise of free food, but the free food turned out to be really crappy, and now I wish I hadn't eaten any. At least I have some free soda to wash it down with.

Trust my rage
I have now figured out why I don't fit so well where I live. My neighborhood is made up of:
Mayberry-ville
Shotguns & Pickups
Traditional Times

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
When I tell people(outside of conventions and similar places) where I work and what I do there, I get blank looks a lot.('Cuz, y'know, science is =hard=)
