I think Mr. Faulkner has needs that haven't been properly attended to.
I bet he eventually settled down and founded that town that Footloose takes place in....
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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

Up for hivemind consideration: is it acceptable to throw one's own birthday party?

In sum: don't buy a laptop from Dell, unless you enjoy replacnig motherboards.
Wow, I hope somebody at Dell got fired over that particular flaw. Not exactly a thriving business plan, irritating your customers. You know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes, as long as it's not a ploy to get presents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my world it's more than acceptable--no one else is going to throw it for me.
How you can distinguish that from a ploy for presents--I'm not sure. I guess you could put something on the invite to not get you anything, but it's kinda weird that if someone else goes to the trouble of having a party for you it may be more acceptable to get gifts than if you'd done it yourself.

What is even happening?
Oh, they never mentioned tools, except to say you'd need a scribe. I am stunned at what they had me doing, and at every step thought of my mother faced with all that.
My mind went where Jesse's did. I'm picturing a guy with a papyrus scroll.

It's a moral distinction in my head.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Emily, I have thrown several for myself, based solely on the logic that I am the only one who knows who I want to have at my birthday party.
I think they went well though.
Of course, if your birthday is while you are out here, I would be happy to help.
DUDE.
Seriously.
ION, I just poked myself with the cat's insulin syringe for the first time. It kind of hurt.

She's being a sweetie and asking on my behalf, because there's just *no* time to throw me a 30th birthday party before she leaves. This next several weeks are gonna be crazy!
