I just got back from gym shoe shopping--Famous Footwear is having a sale, so the two pairs I bought were already marked down to $50 each, and then it was buy 1, get the 2nd half-off, so I got a pair of Reeboks and a pair of Nikes for $81 after tax. Combine those with the bookstore shoes and suede flats for my sister's wedding I got in the mail this morning, I've bought four pair of shoes this week! In the whole of 2006, I bought two pair, and none since then. I still have to get some boots for winter, but I'll be set after that.
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

I was holding a baby. Now I smell like baby. Not really in a good way.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Straight-up pantyhose or other nylons will wipe off deodorant marks.

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

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

Of course I'm chilling bare-legged today, because the universe has more fun that way.
For some reason the Container Store sells those de-deodorants.
I am so totally having a beef quesadilla for lunch. Of course, the time when I insisted I was having pizza I ended up with chicken quesadilla, the truth will have to wait until the end to be outed.

I could use a couple trophy friends, come to think of it.
I had a delicious lunch courtesy of the Whole Foods salad bar, which was Southwestern tangy chicken salad and some old-fashioned macaroni salad, with four small strawberries sprinkled with sugar afterwards. Yum! And I brought back the frozen-ready-to-bake apple pie to eat during Eureka tonight!

Will you be my trophy friend? Heh
The thing that weirds me out about Facebook is not people linking me like that, (I've only had a few so far...and they do weird me out) but it's the mix of all my world's real and online. I like them very separate, thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Of all the sites, the majority - 90 per cent - of close friends have been met face to face. "Face to face contact is a requirement for intimate friendships."
Don't those two sentences conflict? Unless there's a subtle difference between close and intimate or, purely to annoy me, requirement doesn't actually mean requirement.
Of course, I disagree with the statement anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm having chicken walnut salad for lunch.
Thinking about it makes my mouth water.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I started to laugh at the "only five intimate friends" comment, and then realized that my first tier of "friends I met through the internet" has five people.
But yeah, it all depends how you define things. The list of "people I've met through the internet who'd be allowed to sleep in my house" is much bigger.
