That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

PS: It is also essential that you give her more money.

In fact, while you're at it, you can give the rest of us more money too.

Maria is even more wrongheaded.

But, but....it's Italy. How can that be wrong? I promise I won't stop her from going back to SF if she wants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, Allyson!

I just learned that I could fly home for less money than taking the train this weekend. Buying the plane ticket from the airline, four days in advance. That's craziness. They're both 5x the cost of the bus, so I'm doing that, but still.

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

I asked a cute boy out to dinner and now I am going to have a nervous breakdown waiting for a reply.

Go you!

I just filmed my testimonial. Maybe I won't make a career of it after all. I mean, they don't like glitter.

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

That sounds like a lot of fun, Dana.

Go Allyson with the asking cute boys out!

This is a plan I could get behind, in front of, and on top of. But I want Fernet and lambic too. I am a greedy wench.

edited to tell Allyson that she will knock cute boy's socks off. It's pre-ordained.

Typo Boy -- Have you read Sheckley?

Yeah. one of those writers I loved for a long long time - then suddenly didn't. I think I overdosed. Ever done that - read a writer, loved them, then read one too many things by them and went "meh"?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That sounds like a lot of fun, Dana.

There are going to be lasers. And smoke machines. I expect many long-suffering looks from the orchestra.

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

Proof that the system works: Woman Accused of Witchcraft in 1706 Cleared

July 10,2006 | VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia -- It took 300 years, but Virginia's only convicted witch has finally been pardoned.

State Gov. Timothy M. Kaine was asked to exonerate Grace Sherwood, who was tried by water and accused of using her powers to cause a woman to miscarry. On Monday, the 300th anniversary of Sherwood's "ducking" trial, Kaine obliged.

"I am pleased to officially restore the good name of Grace Sherwood," Kaine said in a letter that was read aloud by Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera Oberndorf before a local re-enactment of the ducking.

"With 300 years of hindsight, we all certainly can agree that trial by water is an injustice," Kaine wrote.

On July 10, 1706, Sherwood's thumbs were tied to her toes and she was dropped into a river. She floated, proof that she was guilty because the pure water cast out her evil spirit, according to the belief system of the time.
