I want to know why Neiman Marcus hasn't called me yet to pick up my stuff. I'm leaving tomorrow, people.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am getting Indian food for lunch, but now I am wondering why it's not sushi.

"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
Tim Henman’s grin showed he was “genuine, coy and flirtatious”, he said, while David Beckham’s smile and jutting chin indicated he was “determined to win at any cost”. The smirking grin of Chris Tarrant, host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, suggested a man who “felt he was getting away with something”.
The above makes me rather skeptical about the rigorous scientific methods employed by the smile researcher.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Neiman Marcus wants to know who stole his phone.

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

I never got the impression that this was part of the research. More showing off of what he'd learnt.

Just the fact that he's drawing all these personality traits from people and pairing them up with the way a certain smile looks makes me think he's a candidate for practicing the kind of science that people have been fighting to put in Kansas schools.

He's an emotion researcher. It's in the job description.

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
Today is the work xmas party at a nice restaurant. So I wore nice clothes and a sparkly flower in my hair.
And I can't tell if the scientists are making fun of me when they keep saying, "oh! nice flower."
