Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Semicolons are hot.

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

My head still hurts, and I am wearing new shoes that are very clackity.

Oddly, I blame shrift for this, since she was the one that originally predicted that yesterday/Monday was never going to end.

"Hey! You got another black eye!"
"It wasn't krav."
"Really? You have to leave him."
"I can't! I tried but...I wish I knew how to quit him."

Comedy gold people, comedy gold.

Now the same co-worker is IMing me and calling me liar, and that I must have gotten into a relationship and won't admit it.

eta: Now he's calling me Cristina Yang. I should have stayed home.

Oh, sure, blame the messenger!

Note to self: stop making valid observations, for it only leads to ill will.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think you're overlooking a potentially profitable situation here, shrift. There could be quite the market for t-shirts, mugs, wristbands, etc that say "blame shrift."

How about this?

To do list:

1) Go spend too much money to Best Buy.
2) Charge iPod.
3) Stay away from all televisions during SotU to avoid severe property damage.
4) Develop persecution complex.

Let me sum up the SotU so you don't have to watch it.

Economy is great
Gotta have that post-9/11 mindset
We've won in Iraq, freedom is marching right now, it's just hard to tell
We're gonna fix healthcare by tweaking the existing system just a little
It would be cool to not be dependent on oil, but we're not really serious about it
