We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Here, but ita grew up a lot in England where tights are hose and hose are worn by men in tunics.

Ah, that's what I get for skimming. I thought it was one of those "sneakers or tennis shoes" sorts of questions.

What's the common term in Canada? I used a different one (can't recall if it was nylons or hose) in front of a couple of canadian transplants and they looked at me funny.

God, I have to work, and I so desperately don't want to.

WORD. Also, I'm avoiding trying to come up with the proper wording with which to ask the teacher I assisted whether or not he's written the recommendation I asked for a month ago. Cause, hey, maybe it'll come today! Then wouldn't I feel dumb?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I know the conversation has moved on, but I still feel my craziest freakish death story will be of use to her: A friend of my mother's died after slipping on the stairs at work. Just walking down the stairs, slipped, hit her head, died. So, anything can happen.

That's how my grandmother died, sort of. She did all that and then had a heart attack.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

God, I have to work, and I so desperately don't want to.

Dear God in Heaven, yes. I SO don't want to do anything today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's kind of amazing, the many ways people can die. Amazing in an often-sad way.

Dear God in Heaven, yes. I SO don't want to do anything today.

ME TOO!

And yet. I have a fucking test in an hour, and then stupid homework due. Stupid school.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can up with other vaguely TV-related Broadway trivia!

Victor Garber was not only in the original cast of Sondheim's Assassins, he was the original Anthony in Sweeney Todd.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am wearing tights today. Belatedly, I realized that I was wearing an outfit that made me look like a demure Bennetton teenager. After I left the house.

I do not understand how Bluetooth items do not all come in blue. I am literal that way.

Okay, let's talk about something like the thing with the guys and the bats and the ball.

Cricket!! Basketball at night, outside! Or VW can come up with more math problems that involve sports. Those are always fun.

I asked him to send it to me. Mind you, he never replied, but I think if he'd sent it to the school instead, he would have told me that (also, he wouldn't really have a specific office to send it to).
