Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

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.

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

I never called it a rule. It's also a bad poem. So what?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My personal ethics are in adopting the rules of the store/community/country when I cross over into it.

Why wouldn't this be a rule, though? If it's a principle that only works sometimes, I feel like it's not a good principle.

This is making my head hurt. You should tell me to stop if it makes yours hurt, too. I feel bad for arguing with you on the day of your MRI.

Edited to fix quote.

Ew for the roach. Too tired to read the ethics discussion.

Just skipping to say, did anyone else post about getting all 7 seasons of Buffy on an iPod?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I don't want them preloaded though. I want to buy them and load them myself. Though Mr. Jane thinks he has a way to do this, so perhaps I don't care, but Buffy! while I'm working late!

I don't think counting cards is a big deal, and I can't wrap my head around not illegal, not assholeish, but still wrong.

I also hate dress codes. I am the anti-ita (though most certainly not anti-ita).

Also, I'm thinking of sending a care package to my sister. I want to FTD her a small tree and send some presents in the mail or with our other sister so she won't be so lonely. This is the first Christmas since our little brother died that she won't be there with us. I may have mentioned, because I'm so fucking proud, that she's the first woman to play the Elf in the Santaland Diaries- so good for her, but bad timing. Are there any suggestions for cheapish, small presents for a tomboyish, snarky, tall, lanky, comedic actress?

hmm... tough one. an iPod? I kind of want to get an iPod for everyone this year.

BTW, Grey's Anatomy folks: am I the only one that thinks a perfect pairing (granted of dysfunction & misery) would be Alex/Meredith? It would cause such angst...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Boxing nun?

You're a nice sister.

I love boxing nun! I also love iPod, but not of the cheap.

I'm not that nice. She'll be missed, and I don't know if I could deal if I couldn't make it home. It's going to be strange because usually we're all there by the 22nd or so, which was our little brother's birthday. We have a party for him, and then we do Christmas Eve. I won't be there for the 22nd, and I'm sick about it. I can't imagine how she feels not being able to be there for either, but still doing this really awesome thing for her.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am in love with bon bon right now for her use of Kantian ethics to justify card counting.

I am also wicked tired and I think I'll be going to bed right after I get the matress cover out of the dryer.

Yeah, that must be so hard for all of you. At least she has the awesome thing, too.

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

Kat, I think that GA thing would be cool.
