It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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

Non-driving exclamatory xpost!

I almost made one too! Go go team don't-need-cars-at-all!

Okay, it's lunchtime. Good thing I have an umbrella stashed in my desk.

I can't even.

I may have a 30 second commute to work, but I do actually leave the downtown occasionally for the burbs (and even beyond). Plus, I commuted for years, so I feel that pain (still).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh dear, tommy, I'm so sorry. I hope there's not much loss, maybe just a soft glow to everything so stuff looks prettier.

And now I'm imagining tommyrot getting an ocular implant that lets him fiddle with his left eye for Photoshop-like effects. It's all sepia! Watercolor effect! Photonegative! Neon tones! Blue wash!

Though, really, I'm just vibing hard for minimal vision loss, because I still remember the great tommyrot pictures of the first F2F, and all the great ocean-liner cars you have yet to drive, and all the good things that Brownie has no right to take from you, no right at all.

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.

Eh. I'm also not good with having so many people around. Crowds can make me feel claustrophobic. I guess I'm more expressing my thanks that I don't have to drive in the city that often, since even without that drawback, I wouldn't want to live there.

Coding and Sleeping

Though, I guess that depends on the city and what you're doing in it.

Kansas City is not one of those cities.

Anybody want to do geometry to take some of the pressure off my aching brain?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have a ten minute commute. And being a teacher helps, since traffic is lighter when I leave the house.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Does anyone know what they're dressing up as for Halloween (if they are)?

Full-on 1950s retro Donna Reed. I need to buy an apron. And white gloves. And cat-eye glasses with sparkly things in the frames would be cool, too.

Though I'm inept at trying to do my hair in a 1950s style.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a 20 minute commute, mostly on the outskirts of downtown. I don't even actually get on a highway, I just take the ramp to skip the lights.

Enid from Ghost World probably. I meant to last year and then got sidetracked by being lazy.
