Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Now tagless for your comfort.

sumi, do you have some tape or a safety pin to secure the ace bandage? Have you taken any painkillers of the anti-inflammatory variety?

Ouch, Sumi.

My new TV comes today! Whoot!

Maybe I should think about cleaning around here. Oh, and crap - do I have to tip? I don't have any cash, I don't think. Well, I won't have them set it up or anything.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've never diagrammed a sentence, though I'm vaguely aware of how it's done.

And yet I make a living as an editor. Revel in the irony.

The return of grammar:

I'm earwormed with "SexyBack," only now it's "I'm bringing grammar back...."

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

Sumi, can you use safety pins on the bandage? I find stick to itself Ace bandages disappointing even when new.

My moose looks like this, except he also has a striped T-shirt on underneath the overalls. He's named Tooth.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I (born 1972) have never diagrammed a sentence. I know what it is from reading Laura Ingalls Wilder, though.

flea is almost me. I was born in 1973, and was so fascinated by the sentance diagramming in Laura Ingalls Wilder that I actually got a turn of the century textbook and diagrammed on my own time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I never diagrammed a sentence, either, and I did learn some grammar in Spanish class that had never been covered in English. The really funny thing in the more advanced Spanish classes was the kids who were native speakers (or, at least, had learned it at home) with bad grammar arguing with the teacher. It was the equivalent of a kid arguing that "me and her went to the store" must be right, because that's how they've always said it.

ION, I don't feel good! I came to work because I don't think I'm actually sick, but I feel yucky in my tummy and have a headache. Bah.

At home.

I am at work. I guess, it'll be more cold packs for me tonight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I frelling *love* diagramming sentences. Yes, you may all mock me now. But seriously, it's fun! You get to take them apart and go "oooh, that's how they work!" It's like the mathy part of English.

I'll see if anyone has any safety pins. (Do I own a safety pin? I don't believe I've ever bought one in my life.)
