I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

I can't even.

I was talking more about concrete and wood but Your Orgy Of Destruction Happy Place May Vary.

Yeah, this friend is definitely visualizing flesh and bone. She even has smiley face icons of chainsaws ripping up other smiley faces. It's very healthy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't that statement make you want to test it? See all the things you can do to a person, and challenge them to keep being happy.

I knew this hippy guy in college who believed crap like this. He also believed that everything that happens to you happens because on some level you want it to. I would come up with all these extreme examples (e.g. If you get hit by a car, does that mean that deep down inside, you wanted to get hit by a car? Does a 2-year old with cancer have cancer because he wants to?) but he would not back down.

He was very strange.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

but I don't consider what he does drag, exactly quite really. I mean, yes, it's heels and tons of makeup, but the Eddieness of it comes from the fact that he's not going for the kind of performance that drag typically does.

Amych, I think this is a perfect explanation for the difference I see in my head.

Generally, the men I like best in skirts are not playing at something else, but they just are wearing a skirt. "I wear the skirt, it doesn't wear me."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Perkins -- we should go TOGETHER to get big tattoos of our last names! SO HOTT.

And whatever happened to Tommy's

So Jesus doesn't count? Holy ghost and all.

Frank, I felt it was way too telegraphed to be funny. I spent half an hour waiting for the shoe to drop.

Do you mean the specific circumstances, or just that something was up with the guy? I figured the latter, but the specifics took me completely by surprise.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Jesse, it's a plan!

Speaking of plans, JohnSweden, did you get my email about Helmand's?

Not yet, but I don't have access to that account from here (blocked). I'll see it at lunch.

For you, I'm thinking across the back of your shoulders.

JSw, I sent it a couple of days ago, so let me know if it didn't go through.

Jesse, that would run it into my first tattoo, so I think maybe up the side of my calf would be better.

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

This is beautiful.
