I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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

Yesterday I locked myself out of my office with no keys, no money, and no phone.

So I tried to break in. I scaled a wall, jumped a fence, fell on my ass, beaned my head on a planter, tried to pick a lock with a hairpin, and then I interrupted my boss' pool party to be rescued.

I am my own episode of I Love Lucy.

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

It's a term for a kind of compulsion or tendency that a person has to repeat the same patterns in their lives, like seeking out the same relationships or whatnot, usually with a negative connotation.

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

Hmm. Now I feel I should learn to pick locks.

You okay, paperdol?

I'm banged up, but mostly I'm suffering bruised ego.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The best I have to far is probably pathological compulsion.

I think that probably is the best term. The behavior wasn't really described as obsessive, but I think pathological could have a case made for it.

Hmm. Corsets. Mad computer skillz. Friends all over the world. Krav. Pole-dancing. Lock-picking.

Does anyone else feel like perhaps ita is working on an "Alias"-based reality show or something?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Jilli!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hey, paperdol, you haven't yet been Wiki'd, but you have been some-kind-of-pedia'd. Coolness!

Jesse - Aug 06, 2007 8:49:33 am PDT #2742 of 10001

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sweet, Jilli!

OMG, I just got the actual confirmation of Very Good News Indeed at work. I've been 90% sure about it for a week or so, but still scared it would fall through somehow. Nope. I don't know if I can do any more work today.
