Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

One of my roommates keep saying how she only wants to end up with a man who is smarter than her. But she actually means "books smart", as far as I can tell. She has great intuition when it comes to people and she 'reads' them very accurately (undertanding their emotions even when hidden, the motives behind what they were doing, stuff like that). In my eyes, that's awefully smart (but then she disagrees). I guess what I'm trying to say is that in whatever one person is better than the other, it's highly likely that the other person is better than the first one in something else.

[Edit: which is exactly what ita said, only much longer, clumsier and includes my roommate.]

Then again, I don't think I should post about these matters. The last guy I blind-dated (who saw the world very differently than me. So differently that at more than one time I was wondering why on earth does he still want to continue seeing me) confessed, when we talked and decided that this is not working, that the only reason he continued this not-really-a-relationship was because he thought I was smart. And the only reason he thought that was because once, when the conversation turned to some CS coding algorithm (for whatever reason that I cannot possibly imagine now), I understood what he described, while his students rarely did. Which meant not that I was smart, but that I had a couple of CS courses under my belt. So maybe I don't know what these things mean anymore.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No bluetooth, but I do have a matching pink headset.

It all coordinates with my pink iPod mini.

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

She said I need somebody smarter than me
I need to exercise my vocabulary
I’ll shut up and learn from

Oh lord, Fiona, I'm dying of the cute. Especially that bath picture. And when did Benno get so big? I swear, these buffista kids operating on some sort of accelerated timeline.

Oh, Fiona! I don't think I have the vocabulary for how cute the "big brother with baby sister" pictures are. She's adorable, and he looks so much like a kid! Like he left all his babyhood behind, completely.

Oh, Fiona, such darling pictures!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, those are great pictures. What a great looking family!

So, so adorable!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

My new phone is a kind of royal blue, which I quite like. iBob is approximately Bondi blue, which doesn't match, alas.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Timelies,

Gronk. The "why oh why can't I sleep?" trend continues. Though my writing was directly to blame last night. There was a scene in the most recent chapter that I was really unhappy with, but couldn't figure out how to fix, and the right scene started playing out in my head while I was trying to fall asleep, so I had to get up, turn the computer back on and write it down before it all faded away. I still lost part of it, but what made it on to the page was much better than what was there originally.
