I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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

I could be signed by Victor Garber. I really could.

Still working...still on the first project plan. And the business unit is going to be SO happy when they see it. Which is why we're still trying to shave time off it.

Stylish. And only slightly trampy.

Okay, a lot.

t disowned I'm one of those people who had no issue with credit. t /disowned

I come from a family whose g'parents kept their savings in the chickenhouse and whose parents first loan was for a $20 matress, in pursuit of a credit rating so they could get a mortgage on a $20K house (which sold for $45K 15 years later) so I come by it honestly. Frankly, I'm way way too prone to the under the matress form of savings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like so many things, it's her body that makes it so trampy. On someone with no boobs, it might be more cool and less slutty looking.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

A lot trampy. And not in the Liz Hurley kind of way.

*Now* you understand...

Signed by Victor Garber... Mmmm, signed by Victor Garber...

Ah, yes, it's the faux boobs that increase the trampy. Jesse is right.

There are a lot of things that I think look stylish on skinny people but trampy on people with curves, which is a huge bummer. I guess it's the sex thing -- tight on straight up and down doesn't look sexy, just tight. You know what I mean?

I suspect this is the mission statement on Alias.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

From the A380 link:

Earlier this year, a wing ruptured during ground tests. The company said the wings might need refinements at certain points....

Ya think?

It's my understanding that wings are normally load-tested to destruction anyway, but this implies it didn't meet design goals. Well, that's why you test....

I'm tempted to go back to my theory v. practice tag, just for this.

It's totally not fair. Except there are things that look better with my boobs underneath (okay, please leave that straight line alone, thanks) than they would look on someone flatter chested.

Just..sometimes I want the freedom to just wear my sports bra, or my underarmour top, you know?

It's totally The Man.

Working on second project plan. Found stale Special K, soy milk, and dried cranberry secret stash.

Christ. How can I link events in one project plan to tasks in another? I might be here forever.

Oh, for sure. I just think people with curvy figures have to be more careful, if they don't want to look sexy. If they do want to look sexy, of course it's way easier.

I've totally been subjugated by the patriarchy.
