A great (if, as many of them tend to be, incredibly depressing) villanelle: Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art."
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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?
It is FREAKING COLD here. Dear dog. I left at 8:15 this morning for a job fair and it was 10 degrees. I left the job fair at 3:00 (and only interviewed with 7 school districts...dear me there were a LOT of people there) and it was 5 degrees. It is now -3. I'm home and do not intend on leaving until Monday morning, but my, I thought my ears would freeze off just walking to my car this afternoon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's so weird how winters here are so much milder than where I grew up (about 220 miles north of here). It doesn't seem like a real winter to me until it gets below zero.
I was gonna pull the carb out of my Mercury today, but previous experience has shown that car repair when it's below zero is not fun.

tommy, I don't know how you did it growing up because today is cold enough, thankyouverymuch. I can't imagine winter being like this for weeks/months. One week will be plenty.

I was just thinking the other day about how when I was a kid, getting cold to the point of losing feeling in my fingers and toes was quite common (sometimes every day). I can't remember the last time that's happened.
Yeah, not only was it colder when I was growing up, but I was expected to work every day in that cold. Huh - now that seems weird to me....

Polgara and I just played a drinking game with 2 eps from S4 Buffy. There was beer (bad!), and wine (mine), and Parker, and Veruca, and not nearly enough Giles.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just had a yummy flash of memory of walking back from the skating pond still in my skates with frozen tozen and Mom having a warm bath with Epsom salts waiting for me.

Lee, did you make up the drinking game?

Yep. We change the rules for every ep too.
