Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Guess who just experienced a rain of cans and sprayed her cat and her entire kitchen with sugar free ginger ale?

Ayep.

The cat will recover eventually. And I now know diet ginger ale makes a good cleaning liquid.

Going to try again at making dinner.

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

Now visions of ita looking like Elaine dancing while sleeping

It's probably like that, if I extrapolate from the noises I make when I hit stuff, and the friend I had who jerked a lot too (he was all martial arts all the time, which made me wonder lightly if increasing my training had a relevance)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just posted my first item on craigslist. I feel...different somehow.

Craiglist gave me feelings of abandonment. I don't <3 them anymore, despite having gotten my current apartment off them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If anyone can find me an apartment in a decent neighborhood for $800, I'll be foreveh grateful.

My ceiling is leaking again, and I just cant take it anymore.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Are you willing to move to Chicago? If so, I can find you a place.

Unsnarkily, your landlord should be hung by his toenails and be forced to watch Punky Brewster episodes.

Sure, I'd move to Chicago, but then I'd need a job as well. Too hard.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't know LA neighborhoods, but: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shrift did it! Does she have a job? I think so.

I was really impressed with my thriftiness at Trader Joe's just now, but I double-checked my receipt, and only paid for six of my eight items. Oops.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If you wanted to switch nerd preserves and nanny actuaries, I could find you a nice apartment here in town for that amount and Ruby could have her own room.

But I suspect some talented LAista with some wicked real estate skillz will find you something on craigslist. You definitely need a new place and your landlord needs to get the oranges-in-the-sock treatment.
