What is even happening?

I'd beg lori to keep Noah awake while she had him, go visit Grace, and hope to nap with Noah when I got back.

paperdol, Lori is going to see Grace after shift change, so if you can't go, no worries. I am exhaust-a-malated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Look, ma, I'm Generation Y!. Actually, by that measure my parents are Gen X. Hell of an accomplishment for people with a 40 year old kid. Well, no. Not having living parents puts them out of the running for a couple questions and drops them into this Gen Jones crap.

I feel a compulsion to go through everything that woman's written and disagree with her. I'm not sure why she set me off so.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

oh whew. I dont like to think of her as lonely. I'll be there for her this weekend, quite a bit.

I saw onesies/matching bibs with cupcakes printed on them and "Little Sweetie" stitched across.

I was all, "too big for gracie."

And then kicked myself because she'll fit in about 6 months.

Oh god. Um. Well, okay, since Pete's already mocked me for my love of GWay's tightpants, I might as well link to the picspam:

I suspect all magic has left my heart, because I Don't Get It. Though I totally should because, you know, attractive boys in eyeliner. I'm really quite confused by my own not-getting-it-ness.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The post you linked to was just stupid. I guess her answer to her own demand of "let's categorize generation via 'media engagement'" was "why not?" Because it's stupid and doesn't say anything meaningful about generations? Because the fact that there's a partner here I had to teach how to search outlook and another partner next door who is an iPhone early adopter and they're the same age is meaningless?

I'm just barely Generation X, by that definition.

Ailleann, I'm there with you. And it makes me sad. Except, hey, Ailleann's here!

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

I just programmed a local sushi place's phone number into my cell, and it's not the only one in there.

Not that I have a sushi problem, or anything. I can stop anytime I want.

Does it suck?

It just kind of lies there bubbling drool. It's totally phoned in. Go look in Astounishing for whitefonted stuff. Whitefonted, not so much for plot spoilers, as much as just spoiling the disappointment for others.

Well, okay, since Pete's already mocked me for my love of GWay's tightpants

Happy to help. Actually, I nearly wrote " to be of service to you" but considering the current MCR pic o' the week, that phrase seemed ill-advised.

Dude, best welcome I got all week!

I just watched the episode of Good Eats where Alton shows what happens when you accidentally set your turkey fryer on fire. I love that man.
