Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I took English and Calculus in my fifth periods, both subjects I dug, with cool teachers.
The fifth period is not cursed.
Also? Why are Buffistas not on Surface like white on rice?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is scary and sad:
Dr Chris Moulin first encountered chronic déjà vu sufferers at a memory clinic. "We had a peculiar referral from a man who said there was no point visiting the clinic because he'd already been there, although this would have been impossible." The patient not only genuinely believed he had met Dr Moulin before, he gave specific details about the times and places of these 'remembered' meetings.
Déjà vu has developed to such an extent that he had stopped watching TV - even the news - because it seemed to be a repeat, and even believed he could hear the same bird singing the same song in the same tree every time he went out. Chronic déjà vu sufferers are not only overwhelmed by a sense of familiarity for new experiences, they can provide plausible and complex justifications to support this. "When this particular patient's wife asked what was going to happen next on a TV programme he'd claimed to have already seen, he said 'how should I know? I have a memory problem!'" Dr Moulin said...
"The exciting thing about these people is that they can 'recall' specific details about an event or meeting that never actually occurred. It suggests that the sensations associated with remembering are separate to the contents of memory, that there are two different systems in the brain at work." Dr Moulin believes a circuit in our temporal lobe fires up when we recall the past, creating the experience of remembering but also a 'recollective experience' – the sense of the self in the past. In a person with chronic déjà vu this circuit is either overactive or permanently switched on, creating memories where none exist. When novel events are processed, they are accompanied by a strong feeling of remembering.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Gawd, I can be a massive jackhole.
Ah, sweet Gussykins. Many are jackholes, few have the grace to cop to it and apologize.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I don't even like GA that much. I started watching it again, because so many people here seem to love it, and it broke me too.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Speaking of cutiehead boys, I do not know what got into me, but there was an oh so cute little Irish boy walking out of the subway station as I was walking in and I said out loud - "What a cutey He is." OUT LOUD! So not me.
But if he heard you, you undoubtedly made his day. Making the day of a stranger gives you many karma points.
