Surprising, huh?
They should hook up with the mother of a friend who hyphenated her husband's surname of Cumming with hers of Moyston.
It was my first time.
How'd that work out for you?

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

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
The bouquet toss skeeves me.

I have a catalogue, some notes, and a healthy fear.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I have a catalogue, some notes, and a healthy fear.Yeah, that's the way it usually goes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
God, I love Ikea.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Mmm, Ikea. I love shopping there and I love those crazy-ass meatballs and lingonberries with an embarassing fervor.
{sitting in my all-Ikea office and looking around happily}

I never got past the healthy fear stage. Also, last time I was there, I ended up buying the ugliest "stool" ever.

The wife takes the husband's name, which, hello! Why can't the *husband* take the *wife's* name? (Although, really, the wife's name is actually her father's name, so it's all one big patriarchal gang-bang of nomenclature.)
Couples from my Scandinavian-American college sometimes disassemble their family names and reassemble them into a new but equally ordinary name. So if a Holmgaard marries a Bjornquist they call themselves Holmquist. Some look back a generation or two until they find a name that is present in both family histories and use that one. It helps that most Scandinavian-American family names were assigned at Ellis Island, and therefore don’t have much history attached to them. I like the idea that the new family has it's own name, connected to but distinct from the parental families.

Crazy Americans with no space on forms for the first last name and the second last name.
Emmett got an extra middle name.
I don't like chocolate in oatmeal cookies for the reason Tom elucidates. I do, however, like buttscotch chips in oatmeal cookies, but that makes them a Scotchie, not an oatmeal cookie proper. I can go either way with raisins in an oatmeal cookie, but since JZ hates raisins the way Theo hates Julia Roberts I don't make them that way at home.
There are things I need to do before I get fired on Friday but I'm really having a hard time getting motivated. Also my nice boss has called in sick the last two days. So it's especially unsupervised around here.
In fact, today I'm kind of the boss of my new coworker and the temp who's going to replace me. Hmmm, too bad I don't have a stable that needs to be cleaned out.
