I just ended a conversation where I said all the wrong responses to the usual rote lines. When she said "have a good weekend," I think I said, "talk to you later," but then I said "you, too" in response to the wrong thing! Doy.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How long do the to-go bottles last?
You'll hate diving anywhere locally, though, what with your heat-miser needs.
Oh, hell yeah. My plan is closed dive here, plus coursework, and to do the open dives somewhere like Belize.
I'm wearing burgundy pants today. I feel very sassy. Also like I'm going to faint, but it will be sassily.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That happens to me a lot.
Often I have rote greetings like this:
other person: "Hi, how are you?"
me: "Hi."
And then I wonder if they'll think I'm on drugs....

As far as rote goes, I feel weird because I'm never the first one to say "How's it going?" and I wonder if it stands out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh god, sometimes I'm the first AND the third to say "how's it going," and I still never answer! Eh.
So, it's a good thing my coworker and I were talking about the profit-sharing disbursement we just got at work, because I'm pretty sure she got totally screwed, and it's got to be a mistake. Or not. She just came in with the explanation, which shockingly makes sense.

Current favorite peeve--whispy voiced females doing covers of Pride in the Name of Love and Sweet Child of Mine. I don't know who thought that Whoever That Woman Is has a voice with enough oomph to make Pride sound anything other than wimpy, but it wasn't a good idea.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
OMG cute baby pictures! And Noah's crazy eyes when he's getting his bath are HILARIOUS. "DUDE. What is this shit? What are you doing to me? DUDE!!"
Yay for ita's forward progress (hopefully) on migrane treatment and SCUBA! Sweet! Do you still surf, ita? Do you want to?
For Friday the 13th, my 15-pound, snaggletoothed, black cat decided to have his midnight freakout on the hour, every hour, using me as an obstacle course. He's very lucky he didn't get tossed out the window at 3.

Does anyone have interesting Friday the 13th stories?
I was born on Friday the 13th. But, aside from the fact that my parents got a flat tire on the way to the hospital, I got nothing.
