That's better than when he got peed on. He jumped on the toilet while I was using it.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My first year of university we had one phone for all fourteen of us on that floor of residence. Didn't call home much, rarely got called.
I was the perfect distance away--a bit over 2 hours away. No surprise visits, but I could come home for the odd weekend of good food.
Never ever for laundry though. I think even when I was home on vacation they wouldn't let our maid do mine. Well, their maid, was the point.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Free university and living at home meant that I didn't need my parents to sub me much in college. I'd work all summer, pay my exorbitant registration fees out of that, then usually run out of savings by Christmas. I'd just spend no money after that and occasionally borrow the bus fare in off my parents.
My post-grad, on the other hand, I worked for a year before I started, saved a bunch of money, then got a loan for a bunch of money, and still ran out of money three months before I handed in my diss. My parents had to pay my rent for those three months, for which I am eternally grateful.
And I can honestly say that I've called my mom maybe five times since I've moved out. She calls my mobile at least six times a week, so I've never had to call her. And I'm way too polite to tell her that she needs to call less. Also, I don't think my mom even knew what I did in university, let alone who she'd call and talk to on my behalf.

Question for the Hivemind:
I'm getting my hair colored at a salon this morning (I don't usually do this; I'm excited, but nervous). Should I wash my hair before I go, or not?

Nope. They'll definitely wash it anyway, and your hair will be hella dry afterwards if it's been washed twice in one day. Also, good morning!

Morning, Jars!
That's how I was leaning, but I wanted to make sure that was best.

Also, it's been so fun seeing you around more!

Well that's what happens when people put me in a room with internet access and no supervision. Yay!
Also, we just got proper internet access at home yesterday, so now all I need to do is get my laptop fixed and I'm laughing.
How's school?

Good morning, vw! Good morning Jars!
