I'm banged up, but mostly I'm suffering bruised ego.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

"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. Now I feel I should learn to pick locks.
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!

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yay Jesse!
Can anyone-- or multiple anyones do me a favor and check out this site, which has been designed to help people find nursing continueing education courses on our web-site. I did not design it, and I am looking for some feedback on user-friendliness that I can take to the designer.
You can respond to me at nadine (underscore) taylor (at)urmc.rochester.edu or just a quick note on the board. I am interested in knowing if anyone's first reaction is the same as mine!

I think I'm going to freak out about the Yahoo thing, just a tiny bit. I mean, I knew it was eventually going to get posted, but still! Yahoo Profile! Eeeek!
(I'm freaking out a smidge also because I am still feeling intimidated by the changes I need to make to my book proposal.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I congratulated flea. I certainly meant to--congrats!
Jesse, your news is cool too.
I'm poking through stuff and found this comic which might be the sweetest and saddest thing I've read in a long time. I need to work out how to share it without any possible subtext.
