We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I hate today. I'm very sleepy, even though I slept just about all weekend (all that stuff I was going to clean in my apartment over the weekend? Nada!), have a nagging sinus headache and accompanying stuffed up nose, the Diet Coke I just drank has not kicked in and woken me up yet, and my boss is on vacation and I therefore can't claim wooziheadedness and take a half day off.
Damn.
Four more hours, and I can't concentrate worth a damn.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
No serial, it's often redundant to "and."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My former boss used to fastidiously remove my Oxford commas because they were wrong, telling me she could see how I'd make that mistake, having been educated in England.
Which meant I even more fastidiously put them in.

But, it's so much prettier.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like serial commas. Sometimes I leave them out, to prove that I can change, but then I have to grit my teeth and go back and obsessively put them in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay, serial commas!!
My organization's tagline does not have one, which makes me sad and/or cranky.
