I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, is it possible on AIM to have sent somebody a message/friended somebody without being aware that you were doing it?

The latest version of AOL added a "feature" to AIM that automatically adds anyone who sends you a message to your "Recent Buddies" list. This includes folks who send you pornographic IM spam, just so you won't forget who they were. Ta ever so...

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Jilli, I would just leave that blank.

I don't think that's an option, sadly.

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

Lest they hire you for free.

What is even happening?

I'm sure it sounds affected, but since I really am using it completely unconsciously, I can't help it.

Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".

Same here. I can't remember not saying "bugger."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Jilli, can you ask your manager what you should put in that slot?

Were you edit or test when you were blue before?

I use bugger and bloody, but I picked them up from my potty mouth mother. Also, a long, hissed form of shit, which appears to be how all the females in my family say it, per my BiL.

I've mentioned that my mother doesn't get that some people do consider "hell" to be cursing, right? And that she thinks they're just being silly or coy, and what the hell is wrong with them, it's a perfectly fine word, and for that matter, so is (insert cuss here).

Art Crawl!!!

DX - that must be what happened. What a nasty feature.

My family was shocked *shocked* to realize some people consider frigging a curse.

You, err, didn't fill them in on the meaning, did you?

What a pointless feature. Sorry you got harassed, sumi.

I was looking at the latest Nike Women's promo. I'm not entirely sure what the "hips" portion has to do with anything, but the "legs" one did make me tear up. I've read criticism of that and the Dove ads ("they're not fat!" which makes me wonder what TV stations/magazines/movies the complainer is exposed to...) but I find them refreshing. Sure, they're exploiting insecurities, because they're ads, but still. New body shapes.

Some people should never live in Ireland.
