I'm banged up, but mostly I'm suffering bruised ego.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

We can say we knew you when.

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.

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.
