Jesse: I have a weird relationship with a former grad school professor, in that I can't figure out what to call her! Definitely first name, but then I'm not sure if I'm OKed to use her nickname or not. And she signs emails with just the first letter. In practice, I don't call her anything.
Nilly: I call these people "excuse me".
In Bitches...
AmyLiz: I know nothing of violet candies. What does violet taste like?
Plei: Mary Sue.
Toddson: oooh .... do-it-yourself porn?
brenda m: Isn't that called sex?
In Boxed Set:
AmyLiz: Is it sad that I've been become addicted to pretty-boy soft porn?
Ailleann: Whenever I have thoughts like this, I think, "Well, at least I'm not addicted to heroin."
paperdol visits Grace, in Natter:
I spent some time with wee Grace, tonight, who was REALLY MAD. She de-intubated herself today, because she's all "ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT" and then they stuck it back in. She was kicking and punching and REALLY MAD.
I think it was because the nurse kept calling her "he" while giving her a bath. She was all, "BITCH, YOU ARE WASHING MY VAGINA RIGHT NOW, DID YOU NOT TAKE A BASIC ANATOMY CLASS AT YOUR BOZO NURSING SCHOOL?"
And my favorite part:
But no one really understood all that but me, because I speak KickingPunchingish.
askye: What's the word on Painkiller Jane? Is it getting good ratings, do people like it?
Matt: They need to be freer with the painkillers if they want me to watch again.
Hil: Argh. I really HATE the new kind of voicemail system with speech recognition. Just called the postal service to get a package redelivered, and I had to spell out my last name four times before the computer could understand me. And even then, I think they might have gotten the Z as a V (I can't hear that difference too well, especially over the phone.) Then the word "parcel" took three tries. Whatever happened to just pushing buttons? Or, even, talking to an actual person who can understand "Z as in Zebra"? (Well, most of the time. There seem to be several people out there under the impression that "Pebra" is a word.)
Cass: Do not Google snacks on a resentful tummy. Cheeto Googling should only be done with a tummy of iron.
sarameg: The elder nephew seems to be fond of his baby brother, though the wee one isn't too interactive yet. No toy stealing. However, he is practicing for siblinghood. He opined, just once in over two weeks, that T maybe should go back in mommy's tummy and tape be used to keep him there.
