I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Still looking for the right nutcase.

Yep. The one who brings over the good scotch, and then rubs my shoulders while we watch Cowboy Bebop episodes. Which I wouldn't have considered weird per se, but it does seem to be damn rare.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ugh. All things considered, after hearing the bad side I'm curiously bouyed by the thought that no one has ever been that into me. And thankfully my aforementioned new penpal was thrilled that I managed to track him down after 5 years, and remembers me fondly rather than regarding me as an unwelcome stalker.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You can't post a link to a picture of Ian McShane and not work in a "cocksucker!" or two.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No one has ever sent me a love letter, ever.

If anyone would like to, my email is Allyson000 at aol dot desperate.

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

Do you want me to forward you that naked cameraphone picture I was sent by a random stranger? You could pretend...

I would have, but I work with a bunch of hoopleheads who don't knock when they come into my office and hover behind my desk chair.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did we notice this [link] from the People site?

I still have letters from a guy that I lived with for a couple of years. Those letters (written while I was working out of state for the summer) were entirely welcome. We also had a habit of randomly leaving little notes for each other, but I don't think I kept any of those.

A couple of other guys wrote me letters that were flattering, but because I wasn't really into them just seemed kind of odd. The most random (this was when I was 26-27) was from a guy I hadn't seen since I was 16.
