When I was that age, my friend's teenage brothers used to drive us (in their trucks with tires & shocks so tall you almost needed a ladder to get in) to the Circle-K and buy us big gulps and whatever junk food we wanted, and rent us movies. I'm pretty sure it was so we'd stay out of their hair while they were making out with their girlfriends elsewhere in the house.

Of course, then her mom would come home at 3 am(she worked some awful shift) and find us wired and probably completely freaked out over some dumb horror flick we'd watched.

Also? MOUSE. And Devi kept dropping it front of Mister Kitty so it could wobble drunkenly around and intrigue him. Sweet of her, no? Closest I've seen them to collaboration.

Aww. So very sweet.

Haven't seen the big dumb mousie that Maceo had. He was playing with it on multiple occassions - at least it was unhurt and stupid enough that I assumed it was the same mousie.

Does anybody know offhand how often you're allowed to take Actifed? I've got one hell of a nose-running eye-tearing cold going full blast here, and another dose may be due.

lori!

Theo, sorry, I have no idea. But lots of health-vibes for you.

Hi Nilly! I've been catching up in here before my meeting, but now I have to run. Good to see you!

What is even happening?

Robin, your tales of shopping from upthread reminded me that I bought these AWESOME fancy high-heeled black satiny maryjane-ish shoes this weekend that I am in LOVE with. I'm trying to decide if I can justify bringing them with me to Germany. They're not good for walking long distances, and I'm going to be doing a lot of exploring, is the thing. But they're so pretty! AND they were only $25 at a sweet little vintage store in town that I'd never been into before. I love them so.

Justify? I'd like to see you justify not bringing them, Kate. You're young, gorgeous, and going to be in Europe, and you're considering leaving your AWESOME fancy high-heeled black satiny maryjane-ish shoes behind? How does this demonstrate preparedness?

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

Let me validate that, Kate. Good shoes are a necessity in Europe.

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

Wait -- maybe she shouldn't take the shoes, so she's forced into buying new good shoes.
