Shit. I may be in trouble.

Dana is me! Then again, we all knew that. She said, charmingly.

The items include glibness and superficial charm, grandiose self-worth, pathological lying, proneness to boredom and emotional vacuity.

Shit. I may be in trouble.

Pfft. You're not that charming.

See, that didn't even feel good. Couldn't someone else set me up for that joke? It's not right to say that to Dana.

Shit. I may be in trouble.

Hee. My reaction to the list was pretty much, "Huh."

msbelle, eat something small because 7 is still hours away. Something like the size of a single portion which, I'm told is the size of your fist and wth your wee fists of rage you won't fill up.

Jessica, how's the new apartment?

Pfft. You're not that charming.

Isn't not that charming actually superficially charming?

That should have had more punctuation.

You're not that charming.

Watch it, or I'll turn my emotional vacuity on you.

I'm a purist--the One True Pizza is deep-dish cheese and sausage, with maybe a few mushrooms spread out, but not too many.

Going back for a minimeara:

brenda, you must have Italian Beef now that you're here in Chicago! Buona Beef is the most consistently good chain, but the individual places can vary in quality (Amato's, just north of North Ave and Harlem, is of the very highest YUM). I remember when a Chicagoan opened up a classic hotdog/beef/burger place near the Marquette campus when I was in college up in Milwaukee--all the Illinois natives bombarded the place for some home cooking!

Oh, and raw tomatoes have a nasty smell and taste, even the "bland" ones that are produced out of season around here--I'm with Nilly on this. Only good tomato is a cooked one, preferably made into a yummy red sauce.

My cat not only greets me at the door when I get home from work, but leads me directly to her food dish (she gets fed in the evening only, a policy I instituted when she tried to move her morning feeding up incrementally every day, until she woke me up at 4:00 in the morning with the loudest "MRROW!" I have ever heard out of her).

I am having salad. I think fries may be in my future though.

not helpful co-worker is making me pissy. how do I end up being the one that gets reprimanded if anything is sloppy? Others seem to get a pass all the time.

I'm being whiny victim person. gak, I hate her.

Isn't not that charming actually superficially charming?

By "charming" I refer to the amount of charming required to satisfy the definition above. So she's "not that charming" -- not charming enough to be evil.

I'll turn my emotional vacuity on you.

That, however, is prodigious, so I am afeared.
