The charming billytea, in Bitches:
See, this is why the Internet is going to bring down society. All the freaks can find the one person on earth as freaky as they are, and suddenly they think it's perfectly acceptable. Next thing you know it's cats marrying dogs all over again.
In Natter --
Corwood: Y'know, it just now occurred to me that the Purity Ball is the exact opposite of Motherboy.
More Natter:
ericaj: Who wants to be the oldest girl at the Purity Ball?
In Bitches:
Tep:I got spam yesterday from someone "named" Trouble F. Grumpiness.
Nicole:Now I'm totally dying to know which emotions Trouble chucked and married
JZ: One of the doctors I used to work for just stuck his head in the door and said, "So, I know this is completely insane and improbable because you never take vacation, but last Friday my family and I were stuck in the Las Vegas airport and someone who looked exactly like you walked right past us."
It's a big huge world, except for the part where it's frequently ridiculously tiny.
Kathy A: Reminds me of two similar instances: (1) ex-girlfriend (from his h.s. years) of my brother's calls my mom four years after they graduated from h.s., "Was Kip in Walt Disney World last week?" She saw him standing in a ride line; (2) while in college, a h.s. friend of my sister's was in London with a friend who had won the trip from MTV, and they were lost just outside of the central district, when out of the blue she hears, "Liz? Liz Dillon?!" Turns out a h.s. classmate was in London on a work visa.
ita: A woman walked up to me at work and said "You went to McGill? So did I!" We overlapped by a year--turns out this woman had lived in Ontario (check) and had Jamaican parents. And for some strange reason had moved to California, gotten a job with my company, been seated across the way from me, and had noticed my car's license plate holder. We did a lot of reminiscing that first conversation.
Trudy Booth: A friend of mine was riding an elephant through the jungle to Angor Wat. They passed an elephant coming from Angor Wat and his ex-boyfriend from ten years ago was sitting on it.
Kathy A: I think we have a winner! At least, until interplanetary travel is readily available.
ita, in Natter:
Being pimped by your father is less ooky than doing him, but I feel I'm splitting hairs.
Allyson Natters:
Do you ever feel like we're all supporting each other, sometimes dragging each other, through miserable work days? Like a white collar platoon?
We gotta keep moving! Five O'Clock will never get here if WE DON'T KEEP MOVING
There's a Buffista down!
We gotta KEEP MOVIN'!
We can't leave sarameg behind! She just got nailed by freakishly bad code and a deadline!
Go on without me! But AVENGE ME! AVENGE ME

eta: Well, it was that funny
Aimée sharing her hard-earned wisdom in Bitches:
I think grandkids are like tatoos and chips.
You can't have just one.
Raq in Great Write, on the subject of writing dialogue:
You have to have the skill to trim the viburnum, but not make it into a meatball.
And I love that so much, I may have to tag it, if she'll let me.
