Indigo is the shade of the aura! They couldn't very well go calling it Hot Pink if indeed it is indigo.
You know, it's an awful lot to ask someone as ADD Indigo as me to remember to dye my aura Hot Pink. I can barely remember to color my hair!
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know how we thought yesterday was the longest day ever? I think we were wrong. It's actually today. Unless Wednesday never ended last night and cunningly has assumed a Thursday skin.

I've been asked for ID on occasion. Also, is it just me, or is that signature strip getting more and more hostile to actual signing? It got all slippery, and then they printed things all over it, and then they put indentations in it -- I just got a new credit card that I literally cannot sign. It's too slippery.
no, I agree with you here. I started signing cards with a Sharpie.

My card has my signature printed on the front. It's about 11 years old. My last name has lost a few letter in signage over the years, but it is pretty close. Now the picture....god, I really need to send them a new one to use on the next card.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Way back in the days of yore, I asked every. single. person who came to my register for ID. Having been the victim of a stolen credit card, I tried to make sure it didn't happen to other people. I also got shirty with people who returned shit they obviously wore.
"I didn't wear these, I promise! I never even took them out of the bag!"
"Well, that must have made it hard to iron this crease into these pants."

Huh. I mostly get annoyed when I'm asked for ID. Which happens a lot because of the sig wearing off thing. I mean, if I was buying a big screen and 7 playstations, sure. But I'm sure if I'm using a stolen credit card I'm going to be buying something other than a couple of shirts off the clearance rack or some cough syrup and toilet paper. It'd be a pain if someone stole my card, for sure. But the liability issue has gotten so much more pro-consumer in past years anyway that I'd as soon take my chances.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hate this pain management guy. Sure he's cute & charming, but I still hate him.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The only thing that annoyed me lately was all the paperwork involved in buying cold medicine. I know it's the law and Walgreens has to do it, but really. Can I make meth with one bottle of cough syrup and 1 box of dayquil? And yet, I had to show ID, and give my name and address which they had to record in a book. I'm standing there with a huge box of Kleenex and cough drops. I think I'm using the medicine because I'm sick.

re: Indigo Children
Ms. Jackson compared people who do not recognize indigos to Muggles, the name used by J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter books to describe ordinary people who have no connection with magic. "I would say 90 percent of the world is like the Muggles," she said. "You don't talk about this stuff with them because it's going to scare them."
"Enormous eye-roll" is a fear response?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I know the P.O. won't take "See ID" as a signature. I'm rarely asked for mine. Though the one time I was asked recently, I didn't have it, which sucked.
You know there are some days when I love my job so very much. Like today, when there is a live blues band in the office. I hope they're not done yet.
