Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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

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.

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

There are a lot of things that I think look stylish on skinny people but trampy on people with curves

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

You people are completely nuts. That's all the way trampy. Things cut from the top of your body to the bottom ARE AUTOMATICALLY TRASHY.

I think it had the potential to be cool. I'm not saying 100%, just potential.

Nope! Not that I have the energy to find an exception, because work is killing me. You can run something up the side and be subtle.

There's potential.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am saddened to report that I heard ita's gross joke when I was in Jr. High.

As did I.

Frankly, I'm way way too prone to the under the matress form of savings.

Me too. I get somewhat antsy if my savings drop below a certain point, and get really paranoid about everything I'm buying if I ever can't cover a credit card bill.
