The nuns I've met? Not silent. Downright chatty, actually.
Then again, they tended to call where they lived monasteries. I wonder whether there's an order-based distinction there.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The nuns I lived among were very chatty, and it was definitely convent not monastery. Vows of silence not so prevalent. Even Trappists never actually required it.

OK, back on hold with Dell...seriously, could someone please smite them for me?
But wait, then I suppose then it would take them even longer to pick up my call...crap. Someone ready the smiter, and I'll let ya know when to let fly...K?

Smiter in the box, practicing its swing.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
t readying the smiter
(I've been a bit free with the smiting lately. A little extra towards the Dell people is not out of my way.)

Thrive to spite them
I'll smite them!!! I'm still pissed over how HP treated me.
I swear, next computer I get will be an Apple.

Thank you all. Sniff
I've never been so infuriated at crap treatment before in my life! The kicker, of course, is that all of the pain and suffering is for my mother's new computer (which I will no doubt use, but still, not for me). I just took care of the ordering for her to be nice (while she appreciates the power of the internet, she still treats it with a bit too much fear and awe to ever get anything done in a timely fashion online).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Steph's not invisible. She sucks (a lot) but she isn't invisible.
I've been feeling on edge a lot too lately. Maybe it's the move, and not really knowing anyone up here except my invisible internet friends , but lately I've felt off balance on this whole interacting with other humans thing.

Dell's service is famously awful (as are their products) but if you yell at them loud enough, hard enough and long enough, they will fix their screwups and give you random upgrades. My sister has become adept enough at this that she continues to acquire Dell machines because by the time they have finished trying to make things up to her, she actually has value for money.

Over 32 minutes on hold listening to crappily recorded classical music and being told repeatedly that "we appreciate your patience" ...someone, please, just end it...
