Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
29000 sex offenders have MySpace profiles. Big number.

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

See, if you read my book, you'd know that MySpace is the armpit of the internet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Kat, I am way late on this, but I am so sorry about Grace and Noah. I hope things ease up a little soon.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cate Blanchett fans should watch her new Elizabeth movie.
Is it going to be...you know, historically accurate? If not, no.

She is going to be naked, though.
Paperdol, my armpit has no sex offenders.
Since last I wrote I have had approx. 1 million comments on the corset. Only one risqué, so that's a blessing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is why I don't wear my lace dress that often. It's not inappropriate, but it's a little much.

I swear, I've worn it before and no one said anything. The big difference is that then I was wearing pouffy multi-layered skirts and pretty blouses. Today it's a pretty shapeless tank dress, so it's all about the corset.
But if a guy took a look at me today and complimented me on my shoes (black mary janes with red chinese dragons) I'd do him there and then.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In baseball, one of the potential issues which hasn't happened yet is elective surgery.
There's a corrective surgery known commonly as Tommy John surgery (after the pitcher who first received it) where you use ligaments from the leg to repair ligaments in the elbow. Because they're stronger ligaments you can actually come out throwing harder than you did before. Roger Clemens had that surgery early in his career.
So far nobody has done it electively, but it's a possibility. At some point, somebody will.
Tour de France is now officially more fucked up than Barry Bonds home run record.
I think there will be a time when people just have to create an Unlimited Doping Category for sports. Because the lines are so porous. One of the big advantages in baseball for steroids doesn't have to do with strength but with quicker recovery from strain and injury. It feels harder to argue against that element.

I am feeling quite pathetic and useless at the moment. How am I going to pack all this? And once it's packed, how am I going to get it downstairs? Feeling very sorry for myself and so so missing having an organizing supergenius like, say, vw.
