Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's actually being off the power grid, and then there's all this other stuff, which I like to call "off the grid" but is actually something else...
Until they make DVDs and Internet access available off the grid, I'm so not interested.
I can totally get both of those things without showing ID.

Who's to say they haven't?
I hear the off the grid people have their own bearaucracy, professional sports, and refer to us on-gridders as "Guggles".

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

Exactly. I mean, really, you just don't have to be Jesse. Being "Jesse" would be enough.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm already one meeting into the day. Perkins slacks.
Well, yeah.
AIMEE! Glad you're back.
IMemeN, My house sitting arrangements for thanksgiving seem to have gotten frelled, and now I have no idea if I will be able to find someone else to sit.

Oh, please. Spare me from product trainers who not only tell us how marvellous the product is, but how marvellous they are.
Show, dear. Don't tell.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I was gonna say "under the radar" but "off the rocker" sounds kookier.

It's funny, how many things we take for granted. Or, at least I do.
Also, I never stop learning things here on b.org.

I read this at first as "Muggles".
Aimée, thanks for asking. It's been the usual crazy beginning-of-the-semester here. Oh, and a new roommate. The usual.

"Off the rocker" makes me laugh, although yeah, "under the radar" would probably be better-accepted by the people doing it.

I don't have to be anyone in particular to use a computer at the library or buy a DVD on the subway.
