shrift, continuing the laundry theme:
I have triumphed over my voicemail. I have nearly triumped over my e-mail. I should get home before 9 o'clock tonight.
And now it occurs to me that I should take advantage of the unholy asskicking I have given this work day by doing laundry.
Erin: I'm SUCh the trendsetter...
Cashmere in Natter:
Rock, Paper Scissors saved my marriage.

Some days I forget how much Buffista-speak makes it into my everyday life. So many of my real life friends are Buffistas too, that it's just how I talk now. I called my mom yesterday afternoon to bitch about the fact that Macy's was closed for inventory purposes (I have a gift certificate to spend there, and yesterday was supposed to be my fun gift certificate shopping day).
I said to her, "Mom, my diamond shoes are too tight."
Her: "What shoes, honey?"
Me: "My diamond shoes. It's a saying, mom. When one has a first-world problem, they complain about how their diamond shoes are too tight."
Her: "A first-world problem?"
Me: "You know, instead of a third-world problem, a first-world problem...one that's not really a complainable problem, but you're going to complain about it anyway. Nevermind. I really just called to whine because Macy's is closed for inventory, and I can't spend my gift certificate."
Her: "Oh, that's too bad. Why didn't you just say that to begin with?"
Libkitty in Bitches, on going to the University of Alaska:
It was fun, though, and for the rest of my life, I can brag on living through the coldest month in Fairbanks history, which is the only good thing about living through the coldest month in Fairbanks history.

I want to either be the one fixing the woes or making them, depending on how much listening to the woes of the world I've been doing of late.
Cindy: I missed this find your spot thing. Where is it?
Betsy HP: You need a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves and a mirror.
Cashmere, In Bitches:
I've wrestled in jello before, so I'm not too sure about the idea of bathing in it.
Polter-Cow:
blinks
Steph L:
Pardon???
Deena:
I gotta say, "I've wrestled in Jello" is a good mantra for blanking the mind.
Strega: I blame the whole world for "Happy Anniversary." But it, and S4 of Buffy, and Firefly, convinced me that it while Whedon might love sci-fi (as opposed to pure fantasy), it was a bad, unhealthy love, and sci-fi should consider getting a restraining order.
Erin, in Bitches, and I refuse to provide context:
All my English history is bizarrely tied up to my leg and foot pain.
Emily in Fanfic
I recently read a story with very strange syntax. I'd say it was someone imposing the syntax of their native language on their imperfect English, except that I learned from my Human Development teacher that only one group uses Verb-Object-Subject, and that group consists entirely of Yoda.
