In TMI news, co-worker is talking on the phone about how long he's been sober. Go team AA, and all, but I don't need to know when he last lapsed. It's too weird, too much.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It is really stupid that I'm offended by not passing the test. I mean, it's not like I prepared or anything. But four hours of bullshit should lead to a chance for a million bucks!
I'm curious about this test. And how it is possible for you to fail?!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My favorite sentence:
In previous incidents, the alligator won or the battle was an apparent draw.

I don't know your religious inclinations if any, but I share hers, and would still be so completely put-off and uncomfortable if a stranger asked me to pray with her on the street.
I was sitting on a bench in the little plaza outside my building, and the fact that she made a beeline for me and sat down right next to me made me wildly uncomfortable. But she was perfectly nice about it, so I didn't want to be rude.
But asking me to pray? It's like touching a strange woman's pregnant belly; other people find it perfectly reasonable behavior, and I find it horribly invasive.

That makes me think of a frog I saw eating a worm roughly its own size out on the stoop of my apartment. The frog kept stuffing more of the worm in its mouth, and the worm kept thrashing around and flinging coils back out again.
Happy Anniversary Nora and Tom!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm curious about this test.
30 multiple choice questions. Ten minutes to take it. There were probably 5-6 I just didn't know, and I must have guessed wrong. Northern-most Great Lake, why Lady Godiva rode naked, what sneaker company was founded by the brother of the founder of Puma, what president has been on the cover of Time most often, one or two others I can't remember.
And how it is possible for you to fail?!
I KNOW!

I was sobbing in a public bathroom one day and these two women came in and prayed INCREDIBLY LOUDLY for God to help me. After oh, 10-15 minutes of my inability to stop crying and their passionate entreaties in the Ladies' I had to come out and didn't know what the fuck to do so I prayed with them to GET THEM TO GO AWAY. That took another 10-15 minutes.
That was a bad day.
