I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Practically?

No kidding. He might as well be a Jaffa.

Always Anti-fascist!

The stalking=new M.O. You may be escalating. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (Of course, most stalkers are weak and ineffectual. Not that that's you.) Nilly, yay! I'm all proud now, like they're mine.(Stupid not being a twenty year old TV prodigy.)

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

You'd think this wouldn't bring to mind a lovely cakey/orange/chocolate treat, yet it does.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Now I know what to do for Thanksgiving. Excellent.

I swear there was something else I wanted. Oh yeah. Shrimp. D'oh.

How the hell could I forget, given the topic in here for the last two days?

My in-laws just finished (on Sunday) the last of the shrimp that my FiL brought back from Texas months ago. I've suffered through about half a year of watching it get consumed in front of me.

And clams. I miss clams.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Nilly, do tomatoes taste metallic to you? I can instantly tell if I accidently get a bite because of the nasty not-food flavor, which is handy since I'm allergic. Yet somehow I can do cooked/processed tomato in sauces and such.

Does anyone know if Kris and Jon were right behind them -- or was there more time?

You can hear the crossing bells and the train in the background while Freddy and Kendra are celebrating, so it would've been closer but it probably didn't make the difference in who won.

I finished watching all my tapes of 24 from last season. Guess which episode I'm missing?

Up with the sun

Why no shrimp, Plei? Is it the same as other seafood, with the mercury?

I don't remember, actually. I'd have to check my books. Mercury and other things, I think. I know that with shellfish, it's various bacteria that can get into them. (Shellfish aren't technically forbidden, but the list of places it comes from that you should avoid is so long that it's easier to just not eat it.)

I basically cut out almost all seafood, with the exception of occasional fish.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Practically?

As opposed to literally.

Swouncing

I'm all proud now, like they're mine

I know what you mean, I think. When my roommate's mom watched "Firefly" at our apartment and was having such a blast, what my roommate was doing was looking at me and mockingme for how proud and overjoyed I was over this.

aurelia, I have no idea how to describe the taste, other than "take this out of my mouth, right now!" sort of flavor (as in, I may seriously throw up if I don't). I can definitely trace the TTOOMMRN taste, even on something that touched a tomato when there's none of the evil things there afterwards (like, I'll cut all the vegetables before the tomatoes - for somebody else's bowl - so that there won't be traces of them left on the knife).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Practically?

As opposed to literally.

Yeah, I get that. I was just amused at the idea of your kink being any less obvious, and so I ran with the image there, and....

Hey, did I mention I got my hair cut? And it wasn't an inch or two, like Julie said. I checked. It's gotta be 3. (If SA would appear and post the pictures she took when she visited me, there'd be some basis of comparison. Er, that is, if I had a picture of my new hair.)
