Shit's all sorts of different now.

What does "platform style" mean? Without a boxspring?

Typically, yes.

These are pretty, but I think they violate my food color rules.

It was indeed a Come As You Aren't party, thrown with my roommates. It was awesome! I came butch. :) Joey (for those of you who remember Joey) had most people confused...he came as gay. But they looked at him and went "wait, you mean he's NOT gay?"

And Jesse came as a cowgirl.

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

Can you use a futon base, then? Driving down Sepulveda below Pico there were a bunch of them I used to get my two.

Thank you for re-linking to that letter-- the comments were indeed hysterical, especially the person who misread the writer's name as Bob BARKER!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was indeed a Come As You Aren't party, thrown with my roommates. It was awesome! I came butch. :) Joey (for those of you who remember Joey) had most people confused...he came as gay. But they looked at him and went "wait, you mean he's NOT gay?"

And Jesse came as a cowgirl.

That party was hilarious.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I just finished reading Nora Ephron's book. She has an essay in it about renting an apartment with 5 bedrooms and the end of rent stabilization. And how she had her rent tripled becuase she was making more than $250,000 a year and the subsidies no longer applied to her.

I kept thinking, "hmm... somehow I'm not filled with sympathy for the rich lady, the one whose screenplays get nominated for academy awards, who has to pay more in rent."

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I deal with people in the UK all the time at work. I have to be careful to call "#" a "hash mark".

I remember that people used to refer to it as the “gate” key and I was very confused.

I hear "hash mark" and immediately think "marching band".

My weirdo brain jumps to that song “Hash Pipe” and how I couldn’t really understand what he was saying, and MTV had the title on the video as “****pipe”, so I looked at it and said “Ass Pipe, what the hell is that?” Then I realized that it was 4 letters, not 3, but we still called it the asspipe, and that makes me laugh.

And wasn't it a come as you AREN'T party?

I once wore a floral shirt to a “come as you aren’t party” I was a wallflower.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My weirdo brain jumps to that song “Hash Pipe”

That's where my brain went and then I thought I remembered the marching band from the link I posted playing that as opposed to the Radiohead they were actually playing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
