My journal's publishing a paper with an author whose first name is Hellmuth. Naturally I'm reading it as "Hellmouth" every time. The source of all evil is publishing environmental health materials! (And neo-cons the world over nod knowingly.)
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
You're inside the bubble. The world is outside it. The bubble's not big.
Oh, that's what happened. I was thinking thick-big, and didn't even notice your use of "little". I wasn't intentionally contradicting. Again, sorry about that. I was riffing on Spike's "It's a big rock," is all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I temped out of the Cambridge office of Kelly Girl
Hey, Hec. I was a Kelly Girl myself.
I was, too. For the first 9 months out of college.
And in a confluence of topics, I was just bitching to my co-workers about people who misuse commas and how I must kick their asses. Chatty!co-worker suggested that I hire myself out as a grammar dominatrix. And the beauty of it is -- I wouldn't even have to fake being nice, like I do in this office! Keen!

Because books.
I haven't finished college yet. But when I left college, I was already married. Took a job at a local newspaper, as staff writer, and then had a baby not long after.
Somehow I ended up working in publishing thereafter, with two more babies coming, and now I'm writing. And, you know, being a mom. If I had it to over again, DH and I would have had some more time for ourselves before becoming parents, ideally with travel involved. But I like my life very much, even if I still want to finish school someday.

It's fate!

I'm getting the pig!
Dude! Who wouldn't hire Tep as their personal grammar dominatrix?!?
Which reminds me, I should buy a lottery ticket...

Chatty!co-worker suggested that I hire myself out as a grammar dominatrix.
That would be the best job ever. "That's a restrictive clause, bitch." Thwak! "See that comma?" Thwak! "What do you do with that comma?" Thwak! "Remove it, bitch."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hee. I was just running back to Bitches to do exactly what Tommy did. Damn my slow brain.

Now tagless for your comfort.
General poll: what did you do after you graduated college?
I worked for several months in a factory to save up enough money for a car. Lived with my folks, driving down to visit DH (who was then my fiancee) on weekends. Took a series of soul-sucking, menial jobs and then got married. We lived on nothing but love and macaroni and cheese until DH finished college a year later.
I'd encourage people getting out of school to travel and do some fun stuff before deciding on anything.
