And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

To make sure people are getting it, I'd recommend more cupping and less patting, in the area of "touching them all the time." Just so it's clear.

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

Lean in to an unsuspecting person going about his or her business and whisper "You're wearing black. That's very sexy." And curl your lip like Billy Idol.

That's what the janitor did to me once and it creeped me right the fuck out.

Our wings are not tired.

You could give everyone explicit nicknames.

Go aggressively kiss the pretty ones and grab...stuff.

I'll call a friend with a horse and a pony and see if we can visit her stable, I think he'd love to pet the horses.

Dude, you are so winning the best auntie race, damnit. How old is your nephew? I haven't seen mine in a YEAR and he's 4 days shy of 3. I expect about 5 minute of shy/disinterest (auntie so loses to PLANES! right now) and then I'm going to give him whatever goodies I can get southwest to give me and going to be cool. If it weren't for goddamned security afraid of a three year old, I'd totally beat you by getting him a cockpit tour. Damnit.

I'm sorry for the family crap.

Also? I'm a big dork because I'm watching a NOVA on UAVs simply because my brother flew them in the army and in Kosovo. And I'm getting all indignant over the lack of mention of the Hunter (which, to be fair, is Army, without guns, and the AF version is the Predator, which really is a step up, but Army doesn't have it yet.)

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

Groin kicks are *so* covered. I know more about the texture of testicles at speed than I ever thought possible.

Cupping and joking and boasting - check.

I'm so lame in this regard.

Today's been a good headache day. So I'm going to pretend I'm going to class Saturday.

There's always insinuating that people will get fired if they don't sleep with you.

You missed kissing.

Also, I feel gross just slough off already, goddamnit. Sorry. Blame it on chemistry.

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

It just took me 2 1/2 hours to get home.

About half of that was in Chinatown, the 4-5 blocks in-between the FDR drive and the Manhattan Bridge entrance ramp.

Tomorrow, my boss wants to leave at 3. Guess who's not complaining?

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

car services are not taking reservations and super shuttle is full, so I can't guarantee a way to the airport Friday morning.

Penn Station is closed because of overcrowding. I heard the line for the LIRR (?) was 22 blocks long. I don't know what to believe. But I hope it's not closed when going to Newark.

The PATH was incredibly easy to use and relatively uncrowded-- I don't understand why everyone who lives downtown wasn't using it.

I'm watching NY1's public affairs show and I get the impression that all the MTA has to do is take the pension age issue off the table, considering the union can't fully contract to it without Albany anyway. If it is that simple, I start to wonder whether MTA intends this as an end to the strike but is hoping to bust the union first.

Ugh. I didn't see any encouraging news on the strike front either. Although you would have more detailed news I'm sure.
