My mother never knows how old I am either -- she was shocked to learn that it's my Jesus year coming up. (WOO HOO JESUS YEAR!!)
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm wicked funny! And Jewish. And hefty. So I don't count, I guess. WhatEv!!!

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
I wonder if my chances would be better with women, now that I think of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother's funnier than my father. Don't tell him I said that. Or her, really. But she's so damned random. She has that absent-minded professor thing mixed with some vintage bubbly blonde, and is yet perfectly capable of a wide mix of things.
Early one birthday morning she sent me a rambly email about how she was having insomnia and was thinking of me and wasn't quite sure why but maybe it's because 30-odd years ago to the minute she was in terrible terrible pain and it was because of me.
This is how I know she never forgets.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I hope none of our Chi'istas work in the Citibank building downtown, or travel thru the Ogilvie metra station. The whole place is in lockdown.

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?

Yikes. I know brenda doesn't work there and neither do I. I wonder where Narrator is.

howcome, aurelia?
My afternoon classes gave my subs hell yesterday. Today, they are silent and as well-behaved a group as one could hope for. It helps that I went all medieval on their asses and am torturing them with copying out of a book. Which we might do every day until the end of the year, because they are quiet this way. And when they are quiet, I don't feel so vomitty.
I'm allergic to my 5th and 6th period classes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just got an email from a friend. Guess I'll be taking the CTA home....

One or more people have been shot in the building - a Metra train station is in the building so they're shut down.
