I never liked grapefruit until I learned to peel the bitter membrane and just eat the lovely pulp.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
They get paid by the companies,
Yay! 'Cause I have, basically, negative bucks at the moment.
so they were desperate to shoehorn me into a job that was all wrong for me, and it was verbal judo to stay out of it and keep them looking.
Not so yay. Oh, well. If I say "no" to something and the recruiter never speaks to me again it'll leave me pretty much where I am now. And it's not like I'm gonna stop looking on my own.

I have a problem with grapefruit and oranges where I can never get quite enough of the membrane off. I was told that it comes right off if you boil the orane, but then, you have a boiled orange, which sounds less appetizing to me. i guess I should stick to apples and pears.

You should try tangerines and tangelos - they peel more readily and have less membrane.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to eat grapefruit by slicing it in half and using a grapefruit spoon. No membrane that way.

I can't even.
People should talk about their weekends
On Saturday, I was a combatant in Ealdormere's 16th Crown Tournament. I had fun fighting. I have a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my right bicep. No pictures yet. On Sunday, I helped a friend set up a new tv/dvd/vcr (but can't make my own work the way I want them too) and had dinner. I also threw out/bundled for Goodwill (depending on suitability) about 3 big rubbermaid tubs worth of clothes I had in storage, and found my edition of Beowulf in the Old English (Klaeber, 3rd edition) that I thought was lost.
Today is much with the gronkly.

Love grapefruit. And for somebody who likes sweets as much as I do, also love sour things. I like to put salt on grapefruit. My weekend: Nothing much. Finished a book on amnesia, wrote...Watched "Lorenzo's Oil" again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Okay, I know it's a callback to discussion a whole handful of posts earlier. But these two, at the top of a page of posts?

Love grapefruit.
One of the kinkier x-posts ever.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did it make you all sniffly?
I totally cried. And then called my mom.
