Oh, and while I'm thinking about cowboys -- I swear every time I see a funny movie, there's some bit that makes me laugh embarassingly loud while the rest of the theater is SILENT. In Wedding Crashers, it was when he said they had been to a million weddings and rocked them all.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Reload it. It works then.
sara robe/knife/dog man sounds frightening. I'm askeered for you.
It should have been. I mean, really. But really, it was just too STRANGE.
I was poking around on realtor.com, figuring to be even more depressed given Baltimore's real estate market made the national news on NPR yesterday, but instead I'm finding that the sleepy neighborhood I drive by (between a scruffy industrial/rail area and a historic black neighborhood) is quite...reasonable. So. Need to start this up again, given the layoff axe is gone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A little further down, Jesse, there's a postcard that says:
hug me
i don't fear being touched
i fear being let go.

In Wedding Crashers, it was when he said they had been to a million weddings and rocked them all.
If we'd been there together, I would have been laughing, too. (and probably misquoting lyrics)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom! I was just coming back to find out if that was Jesse's secret!
I love those cards. They're painful and beautiful.

Post Secret just kills me. I mean, the combination of truly horrible and goofy and fun is amazing.
PS: Mine was the COWBOY one, not the hugging one!!!

Yay! At least I wasn't the only one -- there were moments when I wasn't laughing because of the movie, but because of guy behind me completely losing his (metaphorical) shit.

Hands up any chick that would have been swayed by the Owen Wilson character dancing with the flower girl? I have to admit, some of the laughs were at the stupid women who'd fall for that crap, and some were at me, because I'm not quite impervious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
but because of guy behind me completely losing his (metaphorical) shit.
I keep my metaphorical shit in something like a simile box.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OMG, I DID THIS TOO!
I laugh harder at comedy shows when I know I'm the only one who gets it, but then I feel embarrassed for being the only one who laughed so hard.
Bob has this explosive laugh that, when he's the only one who is laughing at something, makes everyone else realize it's really funny and then they laugh too. He creates laughter. It's utterly strange.
Post-Secret is making my prose totally confessional!
ETA: in re-reading the post, it looked like I rocked a million weddings. I meant that I was the only person who laughed at it. I've rocked very few weddings.
