It's not OK, but much of the fault is mine. But that is why I was asking the question -- I was wondering if you do lose anything. If it's more like you taking my CDs or like you listening to my music.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

I think some of the fault is yours. But the law is squarely on your side. It's a crime, pure and simple.
I think it is simply rude, because taking something of someone's without asking (even if they won't miss it) is rude. Them having left it in arm's reach doesn't make it less so, to me.
Of course, I recently got pissy with someone who kept reaching for my food, tearing off a bit, and then saying "but you didn't want it, did you?" Just ask. Even if I do want it, I might share. If you don't ask, and you haven't established the dynamic, it's rude.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If I leave my stuff on the sidewalk, of course someone's going to pick it up and take it.
What about if you leave your door unlocked? Is it okay for me to come in and take your stuff then?
You would make such a good lawyer. Sigh.

Instead, I use my powers for ... for ... okay, I don't really use them.
Hey! I was quoted on kfmonkey. Who needs powers?
What I do need are pants. I'm not quite sulky enough to flash these undies at the pizza guy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I tend to assume that an unsecured network has been left that way on purpose (since it's hard to set one up without being told by your router that you should protect it), and is therefore being offered up for sharing. Obviously it's not a foolproof assumption, but it's the one I go by.
Still, I'm pretty sure I'm breaking Earthlink's rules by sharing mine, and I'd slap on a password if I ever noticed a major decline in speed.

Quoted but misnamed. Maybe you should just focus your powers on that?
I need to be reading for school. Instead I am looking at cute slightly pudgy Brittany Murphy on Clueless. (Edit: Crap! Not even pudgy. Just not emaciated like she is now. And with some fat in her cheeks.)

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah. She was much better looking then. God, "Clueless", I've watched it a bunch of times and I still watch it.

So, I'm watching Threshold. Were we supposed to understand what Gunnison said as he was choking Our Hero when they played it backwards?
I didn't understand.

It's reliable, anyway. Clueless, I mean.
