I know lots of people already told you it's working fine ita, but I thought I'd check for you anyway. And it does seem to be fine. I'll just keep checking for a while anyway. Y'know, to make sure.

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

Man, Buffistas are the best Quality Assurance team EVER.

Depends on the product, of course.

I can't even.

I love how the interviewer says "It's your first wedding." She's just assuming this won't last and Katie's not even correcting her.

My uncle Phil always introduces my aunt May (no, really) as his ::first:: wife, to keep her on her toes. Of course, they have been married like 25 years and she just rolls her eyes 4evah.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

My asshole high school biology teacher used to refer to his wife that way. It made me want to claw out his eyes (of course, so did just about everything else that came out of his mouth).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My dad does it, too. But he's not an asshole.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Naan and Beyond, on the corner of 17th and L.

WHAT? That wasnt' there when I worked at 20th and M for all those years, damnit. And I was just grousing to my minion about the lack of close, cheap Indian at current workplace. Feh.

Damn. Now I want fresh yogurt from the Greek Deli at 19th and L.

It wasn't till I came here that I was exposed regularly, casually, and socially to "my future ex-husband/wife" as a way to describe someone you're not dating yet.

I quite like it.

To the point of using the term "your future ex-brother-in-law."

It's oh-so-So-Cal.

Jesse, I'm glad your dad's not an asshole. My HS bio teacher, on the other hand, was a grade-A jerk, and I had an even lower tolerance for that kind of humor then than I do now.

Ditto what Jesse said. Of course, he refers to himself as her first husband. Whenever my mom refers to me as "your daughter" (usually dryly, for when I'm exhibiting characteristics that are so very him) he does the "I have a daughter?!?!" thing in his exaggeration voice. It's not meanspirited at all. He's a big goofball
