I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Evil Underwear" is a great category.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Would it be wrong to move puppet Angel to the front of my desk to scare people (and especially the children) away?

Not even a little bit.

Hee. It's making the kids walk a little faster past my door. Glower Puppet Angel! Glower like the wind!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh -- I'd be afraid it would draw them in, looking like a toy as it does.

A friend of mine just asked if I'd babysit for her this weekend. I don't have actual plans, but I don't really feel like schlepping out there, etc. Is it wrong if I say no?

Not wrong. Saying no when someone asks for a favor is okay.

Anyone else need a decision validated?

It looks like a toy, but like a creepy toy that might come to life if you got to close. Like Sid.

This is why I love you people.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

From this morning:

From the article:

Frozen pipes closed one downtown Chicago Starbucks for several hours Monday, and employee Jerry Berry, 24, said some customers stood in disbelief for several moments before moving on to the next shop a few blocks away.

I wondered why they didn't just go to the one across the street.

HA! But also, the one across the street probably had the same water main problem?

That totally happened to me this morning. Up to an including the dumb incomprehension. Both coffee shops on my block had burst pipes.

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

I don't like today, and it refuses to die.

Why?
