Sumi, you're waiting for the Serenity trailer, aren't you?
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am waiting for a reply to an e-mail which will either quell or incite frustration.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Still waiting.

I don't think we made a distinction. And we could get pretty filthy. There was a gutter overflow ditch behind our house (a big oval) that we used to dig ginormous holes in. Once you got past the light clay on top, you got to sand and after about 2 feet of that, you got to the greasiest, densist clay glop ever. It was lovely.
You know what? I don't think I ever saw that ditch fill from overflow. Sure, it'd collect water after storms, but just like everything else did. The source wasn't the big drainpipes on the end. Weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally fucked up a pair of new suede school shoes by playing in the dirt in them the week before school started, but that was because I didn't really like them in the first place. I was a very passive aggressive child.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Heh. A friend and neighbor said she could always tell...DH's car was in the driveway at lunch...and the kids were out on the deck with popsicles.

You are causing me to remember all sorts of little details. We didn't have the normal popsicles. Sometimes mom would freeze oj or apple juice, but mostly she used yogurt. I remember the yummy of the chunks of frozen fruit in the peach yogurt ones.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm kinda mad at Lush. I ordered a gift for a friend last week. They assigned it a tracking number on Thursday, with a not that all items were in stock. Come Monday, they hadn't even moved their lazy asses near the door. So I called. They assigned it a shipping number, sure, but hadn't actually shipped it.
It's Tuesday, and still, nothing. And I ordered my mom's and sil's gifts through them early this morning with priority shipping (which was a fortune, as much as the gift. I'm feeling stupid. I should just cancel, go to friggin LUSH and ship it myself.
I just wasn't thinking. It was convenient to order, but now I'm mad.
Me= DUMBASS.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
After being called, by a cow-orker, to look up something in our internal databases, that she has access to, I had to order this. I will wear it to work as soon as I get it.

What is even happening?
I know people are dying for another time-waster.
Guess the GoogleDana, you're completely evil. Evil. Evil. Evil. With a capital First, The.
Here's the [link] in case people missed it the first time. Right now, I'm having trouble loading the page, so maybe everyone is already there.
Did I mention that Dana is evil?
