What is even happening?

But can he hold a candle (or an AK47) to Martin Blank?

I don't know, because I don't know who Martin Blank is.

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

If you haven't seen Grosse Pointe Blank you need to recuse yourself. Because he just wins. He's Lloyd Dobler, all grown up, and with a gun. Or seven.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And a pen.

I kinda saw part of the casino night thing last night or whenever. those people make me hurt. I want to yell at them all and tell them to be normal.

I DEMAND sympathy for my ripped dress.

Or at least distract me while I get back on with Dell support, who gave me a bogus e-mail address yesterday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita, I am sorry you are apparently the Hulk. Some of us just rip out of clothes due to cookies.

Oh, I did see that. I just forgot the character's name. No. Jim's better. Wait. Martin's better for you. Jim's better for me. We both win.

Jim is also Lloyd all grown up, who, as an adult, realized he has to sell something, buy something, or process something as a career.

HULK ita. CRASH! BOOM! you wouldn't like me when I'm.....oh look at that pretty dress.

Might take it to a tailor, as they might be able to repair it.

Your Dell conversations make me cry for user support. Explains why some of my users are so pathetically grateful over really mundane stuff (dude, someone wrote the Director complimenting me because I stepped him through using a rudimentary web search as soon as he called. Um? Lowered expectations much?) I really ought to look into a career managing customer support. It's about the only one of my skills I give a damned about.

It's not a pretty dress! It's rags. And the Dell Customer Support rep is acting a mixture of coy and goddamned stupid. I can't think of many more ways to ask "So how much notice will UPS give me of when they plan to come pick up the computer?"

Then she has the gall to ask if I'm satisfied with the level of service I've received. Honey, I ain't got none yet. Unless you count negative infinity as a valid level.
