That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

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

I've worn all SORTS of things out.

There's the thing--then you don't need that kind of help.

I would love to do the show because I want that kind of shove.

Quester--glad to see you back. I vote fruitcake.

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

Me too, ita. I seriously want someone to WDD me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

If I got invovled with WDD, I would end up telling everyone - even people who didn't need to know - all the details of what I was wearing, why I was wearing it, how I felt about what I was wearing , and my new ideas of appearence vs. reality. And then I would never speak to the strangers again. and 10 days later, I would be reviseing my new appearance vs. reality philosphy - and I would tell everyone again. Including my boss.

and Matt would get the joy of hearing it between 2 and 3 am.

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

I've seen those in the MCA gift shop. They're adorable.

Checking the tracking page for a package I find this:

Shipment Date: Jan 31, 2006 Estimated Arrival: Jan 10, 2006

Do I have to pay extra for that?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Shipment Date: Jan 31, 2006 Estimated Arrival: Jan 10, 2006 Do I have to pay extra for that?

I wouldn't think so.

I am at work. This is very early.

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

Do I have to pay extra for that?

The extra shipping cost is cancelled out by the greater risk of wormhole-damage.

Cory Doctorow: On a forum for student doctors working in emergency rooms, a thread for "lessons learned from my patients," oscillating between the sobering to the uproarious:

One thing I've learned from 3 EM rotations is: Stay away from people named "Some Guy" or "This One Dude", because they for whatever reason, just punch someone in the face or hit them with a crowbar and run off. If I see them on the street, I cross the street to get away from them...

Never, ever leave flashlights, shampoo bottles, beer bottles or any long, circular object on the floor because someday you will fall on it and it will somehow, work its way up your rectum.
