why would you buy meth if you weren't going to use it?

I know! He thinks that by admitting to the meth and some "innocent' contact with the prostitute, he can deny the rest of the allegations. He's going to go into rehab soon, mark my words.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That means I don't have to do any more work today, right?

Yes it does.

We just came across someone in the files who spells her first name with a lower case letter. My coworkers were like, "WHY?!?" I confessed to knowing someone else who spells her name that way, but not the exact "why" of it. I said she just likes it. Right, ita?

slight water phobias

I dunno, I do too a bit, and it doesn't seem to bug me until we go out into the open ocean. Then I'm mostly worried about the kids puking, so I don't get much time to worry about it (but everyone - including the DH and the cats - has to have their life jacket on while we are under way.) On the dock, you don't even feel that you're on the water until you look outside at something stationery, and see that you're gently moving.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The Colin ad kicked ass.

He thinks that by admitting to the meth and some "innocent' contact with the prostitute, he can deny the rest of the allegations.

Totally. He probably is saying he bought it and threw it away to save some poor drug addict.

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

Jesse, that's pretty much it by now.

we had a professor who spelled her entire name with lowercase letters. I asked her about it, and she told me several times, but I can't ever remember. Something about the politics of identity, as I recall.

Thrive to spite them

He claims that he never used the meth, that the threw it away.

Right about the time I graduated from high school a minister here was arrested for soliciting sex from a male police officer. He was caught in a sting at a park that was known for male prositution and hook ups. The minister claimed that it was all a mistake and the police officer had it wrong (or was lying), he wasn't there trying to get sex he was there in a pastoral duty to try and save the lost.

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

It reminds me of the "but I didn't inhale" excuse.

When he was on Oprah, Clinton said that story was taken the wrong way -- that he "didn't inhale" not because "I'm so pure and wonderful and would never do such a thing," but because "I started coughing really badly and couldn't get the smoke down and it was so embarrassing I never tried it again." (Which I think is actually kind of adorable, even if it is a major after-the-fact retcon.)
