I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

"Baked" must be different in Canadian slang, since I doubt Megan is totally stoned at work.

Though it would be funny if she were. "Dudes, the meeting was supposed to be, like, an hour ago! Hey, have you got any cheetos?"

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

I'm about to be half of a rustica sandwich from Whole Foods.

I feel spendy but still incomplete.

Punishingly Intricate

Today is kind of ick.

sarameg, have you seen that Ma Petite Shoe is having a sale? ALL of the shoes and bags (except the fancy slippers) are 1/2 off. Just thought that might add a little cheer to your day.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

We had one cat who would fling his considerable form at you whenever you talked on the phone.

What a strange reaction! I love eccentric cats. The slinky-playing cat also likes to dip each piece of her kibble in water and then eat it out of her paw.

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

I had a cat once that was in love with the dial tone on my phone, and was really devious about being able to find ways to knock the phone off the hook so he could hear it. I finally had to move furniture around so that I could close it in a drawer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

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

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. (My understanding is it's an out-of-control radical faction of the union.) Bob was telling me this morning that the union wants to lower the retirement age to 20.

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

Dear Transit Union,

Get Your Shit Together, NOW

Love, NYC

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

did the concussion occur that time you fainted

This. Still no word on why I fainted.

I am about to be fries and duck curry.
