You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Seriously, I felt like Dana in Sports Night talking to the Quo Vadimus guy, "You invented something that makes big things small."

Trust my rage

I think bluetooth headsets are cool, but they just looks a little too borg-ish for me to get one. Joe has a bluetooth thing that just clips to the visor in his car. I like that one a lot.

Especially with the baby, I only answer the phone when I want to talk to the person who's calling. Whenever people apologize for calling too early/late/whatever, I always tell them I wouldn't have answered if I didn't want to talk to them.

move out and draw fire

One thing about cell phones that makes people less confusing - every. single. time. I've been on the Metro here, someone has answered their phone and said, in Greek, "Hello? Yeah, I'm on the Metro. Bye."

People = pretty much the same everywhere.

I'm getting the pig!

Oh, Nicole! That first picture is just priceless!

The dog in a kilt? So cute. Sean Connery? Still sexy as all hell.

My shoulder is frelled again.

Well, crap. You only had, what, a week of no pain? Not enough.

Sometimes I like the phone and sometimes I don't. And I usually don't know what my mood will be until it rings.

What is even happening?

They can "science" it up all they want, Aimée. We know the truth. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's going to burn itself on a pyre of sweet smelling wood, and rise from the ashes, any minute, now.

So, according to today's mail, I am a 1945 graduate of Newton North High School.

That's news to me! I look pretty damn good for graduating from high school in '45!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In other news, I think I may have helped create a baby Bitch. A conversation with a friend about her three-year-old niece (who has a teeny-tiny princess fixation):

Me: You know what she needs?
Her: No, what?
Me: She needs A TIARA.
Her: ooooh. You're right!

So if you see a little girl in a Disney princess dress and a tiara, that's her!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

vw, I knew you were an old-soul, but dang.

DH had his 25 year reunion over the weekend. Now he is pining for his high school days. I don't get this. AT ALL. I mean, while there are some folks I miss from those days, I would not want to return to that time in my life, even with the current shitstorm of recent days (months).

I know, Suzi! That's like before my parents were even born!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Why do people answer the phone only to say "I can't talk right now I'm driving/in a meeting/in a movie theatre/being chased by hungry lions." Why?

I do that all the time. When it's someone who I do need/want to talk to, or a call I'm expecting, but I can't actually talk right now. But I can't imagine trying to make someone feel guilty about it.
