People are stupid. Worse, I'm stupid. It's been...a day.
D'oh. Those kind of days suck the big hoo-ha.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Those cats are seriously cute--I especially like the one where the tuxedo cat is nuzzling the other one's ear.

I have never been anywhere. In fact, am barely sure I'm here right now. Much less with an ex...though I did travel with one. That Holiday inn was very nice.(I'm kidding...we saw a little more than that!) Happy-making this week:Good edit, and somebody told me I was amazing this week without meaning it in a poster-child way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm all for people being pleasantly logical and straightforward when it comes to serious relationships.
I'm also single, so there you go.
But it does make me laugh when a guy (it's usually this way round) does something that triggers his girlfriend's irrationality (so NOT talking about the Zmayhems here, rather a conversation I had yesterday) that leaves all the bystanders shaking their heads and wondering how he managed to survive, while all the time he's going "But! I was trying to do the right thing!"
Basically, if I can tell you're going to trigger the issues of someone I barely know, what were you thinking?
I'm sure they'll be made up in no time, but we're really trying to get him to run his actions past an approval committee before he goes too far.

What is even happening?
Good anecdote, ita. I'm sure it would have garnered more response, if everyone wasn't off choosing what to wear to Hec's funeral.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How Not To Name Your Sith Apprentice
I am tired. So tired, in fact, that I think that "Darth Broccoli" would be a good Sith name.
Sadly, Googling "Darth Broccoli" (with quotes) does come up with some matches....

He wasn't? Or maybe love made him blind? Or the "Oh, shit," moment came after he got the story out of his mouth halfway and he rather mindlessly continued to talk anyway?(I do this, sometimes...It can be like my brain has a pre-selected tape in it.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My BF came up with a similar thing.
