Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now, there was no big reason for me to have to make phone calls during, say, the no-power moments. But I just liked knowing I could.

I can use my cell phone when the power's out. The only thing that even vaguely concerns me is another 9/11 situation, when all the cell phones were fucked up, but I figure either I'm at work with landlines or I can use my neighbor's phone.

Oh, also

I... just couldn't write it that way. I can't even check my iPod, because I'm pretty sure I changed it during a grammatical hissy fit.

This and Steph's semicolon are why I love us.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

HOLD ON TO THAT FEE-LAY-EE-AY-N!!!!

Heaven's just a funky moose. Although, truthfully, I saw this line and was like, "Fee, lay, ee, ay, en? Filet -- and a bunch of vowels? What does that have to do with robo-calls from politicians??"

Context is for wimps.

grammatical hissy fit

This is exactly the sort of thing I would do. If I had Poison on my not-Pod. Which I do not.

Punishingly Intricate

Is that better or worse than having an amused fondness for early Motley Crue

I used to hate the Crue but now I love the Crue. I had to find the love in order to do this:

I have always loved my 80s rock, and my love remains pure. I even like many pieces of disco.

So there.

Yeah, I tried to figure out what she was trying to spell too.

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

I can use my cell phone when the power's out.

You can, but the internet phone people can't. They can use their phone when your usual tower is out, but you might have difficulty.

sits next to Connie, gives her a copy of "My Secret Shame", the CD with songs from Poison, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, etc. that everyone says they hate, but always asks for a copy of.

SEE!!! Power ballads make the baby Chicago Manual cry.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

You should totally move here! We have a french school and everything. And movies. Two things vital to your career.

This has been contemplated more than once. And every position in the Bay Area remotely connected to what I do gets a hit: Medieval history, Quebecois literature... sure, I can fake that!
