Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I spend an INORDINATE amount of time making that precise symbol on kid's papers.

Try editing a pharmaceutical article written by people whose first (and possibly second) language is NOT English. Some days, as long as they remembered to put a verb in most of the sentences, I don't mind chopping their papers up into paragraphs. But some days, it's like Faulkner -- if his primary languages were Russian and Japanese -- wrote a pharmaceutical article in english.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Or, well, maybe just me. I can't claim to be representative of any group, including editors.

Actually, I think the beautiful majestic semicolon is editor porn. See:

Oh yeah, baby. That's the stuff. Partially separate and partially link my phrases. Oh, yeah.

t edit No, I *don't* actually wonder why I never get laid. Believe me, I *know.* Semicolons and Batman and Macs, oh my!

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

I have, however, dropped "graf" (for "paragraph") in favor of the paragraph symbol itself. It's sleek.

DH uses "graf" in everyday speech. But as long as I say "co-pro" (for "co-production") I'm not allowed to mock him for it.

Oooh -- does he say "nut graf," too?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This weekend? I asked a girl out, and she said yes.

SCOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAA!! Yay for good news.

It almost makes up for all the stabbiness at work today.

Also, I now have the following jingle in my head: "KYW! Newsradio! Ten SixTEEEEEEEE!" The odd part is that it's an East Coast station that starts with K.

As long as you don't go thinking you can come between me and my semicolon....

No, but I just asked him what it meant just now, and he's still explaining.

Ya buncha NERDS.
