I was holding a baby. Now I smell like baby. Not really in a good way.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

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.

I actually declined to friend someone who was probably a first cousin once removed, but I totally couldn't place them. I mean seriously, I have 42 first cousins and they've probably bred three times that number. I certainly haven't met them, so do I have to friend them because they're a blood relation? (I'm not even that close with any of my first cousins.)
