OK, so there's this guy at one of the universities here billed as a civility expert. Whenever I hear him talk, or even hear him mentioned, my first response is "Oh can it, you sanctimonious prick."
And I'm a really polite person!
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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?
Ah! Just got off the phone with Kathy and that is why she called. I'm on the email list, so I don't know why I haven't been getting the emails.
I may or may not be able to make it. I've got stuff to do in the city all day tomorrow and don't know if I'll be up for staying out late.
My first week has gone well, except for the whole having to get up early thing. My body still wants to stay up till 2-ish, so I've only been getting 3-5 hours of sleep per night. I need more than that to be happy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You know, I'm looking at JetBlue fares, and it looks damn tempting...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If you do want to joins us and you have time to kill between your stuff and dinner, you are welcome to hang out and chill here.
er... at my apt, not b.org although the two obviously aren't mutually exclusive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, Jet Blue flies to the SF area too...

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 feel like I'm sinking in congealing gravy. Someone say something nice. Or clap your hands so that I don't die. Or something.
two. more. hours.

You have awesome hair and I really hope that when you do a book tour, you come here. Does that help?
