Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh my, that seating system is too cool. I think that's about to replace DH's dream of beanbag room.

Upon further exploration of the web site, I'm all infatuated with the company, though I find their lack of pricing disturbing.

I like the idea of calling up my bathtub and telling it to fill up and be ready by the time I get home.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This just in: Coke Zero is pretty damn good.

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

I want to know what Coke would taste like if they just took all the sugar out.

How does it compare to Diet Coke with Splenda (which is just... yuck)?

Why do I get to post with you only when I have to run out from the computer in five minutes?

Which is true for me, too! Must run away to go help with a test, which will unhappily run over my lunch break.

Diet Coke with Splenda is some nasty-ass shit. Coke Zero is closer to regular Diet Coke, but more...zingy. There's more fake cinnamon in it or something.

How many kinds of Diet Coke are there?

Oh THAT was a fun meeting.

So there's a very good chance I find out whether or not I get laid off next week.

Guess what also happens next week.

NO MORE ALUMNI NEWLETTERS I CAN'T TAKE IT.

I'm feeling oddly breakable, which I hate. Alone, not one single of these things would distress me too much. All together? I swear, if I spill my drink, I might burst into tears.

Including the flavored ones? Hmm...

Diet Coke
Diet Coke w/Lime
Diet Coke w/Lemon
Diet Coke w/Splenda
Coke Zero

Oh, and C2, which has half the calories of a regular Coke, and also tastes like ass.

And Diet Cherry Coke. Yum.
And Diet, Caffeine Free Coke, which is my usual.
