I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

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

Is gmail being annoying for anyone else? It won't let me send anything.

The second place I use it is, very lightly, at the inner corner of my eye, which makes my eyes look bigger and more alert.

Yes, that is EXACTLY what everyone needs white highlighter shimmer for. Some days, that trick is the only reason I look awake.

I just sent you mail, so it isn't being weird for me. Though a few days ago it was being really really annoying.

I got your mail, but now it won't let me reply to it. Sigh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Tep, did you send me mail? Or, rather, did you get mail from me, or did my work servers eat it, as is their occasional wont?

I got your e-mail, and I've been dragging my feet in replying, because I am a lazy git. Will reply imminently.

No, no, don't rush. I'm just always paranoid that my outgoing stuff has disappeared. Because it sometimes in fact has. Though not this time, huzzah.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Perhaps this has already been linked in the LotR or Fanfic threads, but I don't care -- the Colbert Nation now has Stephen Colbert LotR fic:

"Minion of evil!" shouted Stephen. "You have heard of Gandalf the Gray, and Saruman the White, though you may fear them not! Now, tremble in your ethereal shoes, for I am Colbert the Pinstriped! Look upon me and despair!" The Ringwraith-who-was-not-yet-Nazgul shrank back from Stephen's gimlet gaze.

So, there I was, attempting to work on my homework like a good doobie, even trying the part of my math homework where it says, "Write a paragraph," which I, hypocritically, hate to do, and suddenly -- flash of rage! And now I must take a break.

(Mostly just because he asked us to make sure to write about the role the graph of complex numbers plays in multiplying them, particularly in polar form, and I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, because graph form! How the fuck does that help calculate the product? So, rage. Which makes me think maybe I'm a little tired.)

Our wings are not tired.

I'm kinda impressed. Last week I filled out the FEMA application on line. Thursday a fella called and said he would come by at 11:30 Friday. He arrived exactly at the appointed time. Today $226.80 was deposted into my account for chain saw reimbursement. I don't know if anything will happen with the roof and van damage.

This was the first time in my 51 years I have never requested assistance. This time I decided to give it a shot. Huh. It wasn't even unpleasant. The FEMA dude was personable. DH was joking around with him. Again with the Huh.

ION, I'm watching Much Ado About Nothing and have driven everyone out of the living room. What a cool discovery. Who knew all I had to do was turn on Shakespeare to have some peace?
