It's only impolite if you get caught. (Well, even then I wouldn't say it was impolite, but I'd find it awkward. I always wait to be alone before doing that kind of thing.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The status is NOT quo.
ita, I feel your pain.
In the girls' bathroom at school, there are the usual scrawled messages on the stall walls. "Your a f*cking c*nt bitch" is on one of the doors in dark marker that shows through coats of paint. As a teacher, I should be offended by this profanity. Instead I fight the urge to bring a sharpie in and correct the "your".
This may be an indication that I have issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I should put in an office supplies request for Tippex (White Out?) just so I can clean it up.
Jilli, I'd love to! Except for the evil empire thing (though some people may opine that my current employers are their analogue in a different industry).
Which really reminds me I need to go back to interminable PM-related paperwork. Yuck.

Hey, was that 90 car pile up anywhere near you?
About 50 miles north of me, I think. I haven't heard much about it beyond, "Dude, did you hear about the pile up on 131?"

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
His greeting to me was a huge hug, followed by cupping my face in his hands and telling me my smile was gorgeous.
Though I'd probably try and find a less-intrusive way of telling you this, I find I can't fault the man's powers of observation.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I did basically nothing productive at work today becausethe -80 freezer was off(it needed repairs, and I was told to wait 12 hours after the repairs to turn it back on) and all the stuff I needed was elsewhere.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw, thanks, Karl. It was very sweet, but then I was a theatre major and got no prob with the nuzzle-fest that is the The-ayter.

What is even happening?
I should put in an office supplies request for Tippex (White Out?) just so I can clean it up.
Yes. Tippex/White-Out is much more appropriate to the situation, than a Sharpie, which was the crack I was going to make (only I was going to go Liquid Paper).
Yes here may actually equal probably not, but I'm with you in spirit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to say, my cousin was 19 or so when she married the father of one of her best friends, and they are still married, almost 15 years later. He's something like 10 years older than her father, but it works.
Not that BW and LL were doing anything other than groping, but it's not impossible to find your soul mate in a much different age group.

Is this more of your "different things work for different people" crap, woman?
