It sounds abstracty! And completely in line with the kind of stuff I'm used to seeing in journals*. Go you!
* although this part may be less true for people who don't spend their time reading about collaborative writing technologies.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Omnis in my dream I was late for work and you offered to give me a ride and I kept getting mad at you because I was late. It was really unfair since you didn't have to offer me a ride in the first place.
edit: Anyway that's what I get for going back to sleep in the morning. The late-for-work-can't-get-to-work theme is almost invariably the one I explore if I wake up early and go back to sleep before an opening shift. Being chased by Voldemort was new and not surprising considering I woke up, read a few pages of Deathly Hallows and then went back to sleep.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Did I mention my copyeditor loved it? Actual words used: "brilliant" and "most satisfying thing I've read lately (work or otherwise)."
Your copyeditor is a master of understatement.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Not at all shitbaggy. Which is a word i fully intend to use starting... now.
We also use it as a noun. "Look at Mariah Carey swanning down the aisle. What a shitbag!"

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.
Stephanie, I hope Ellie gets to feeling better soon. It sounds like you have a good plan.
Emmett makes me smile.
At work today, I caught part of a Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom called "Heart of a Lioness" [link] in which a solitary lioness adopted an oryx calf who had been separated from its mother. Wow. Also, perhaps predictably, not a happy ending.

"Shitbag" gets better and better. Please tell me it's a verb too? (e.g. "shitbagging down that aisle")

Yes, it is also used as a verb ("she's shitbagging it up over there").

This use of "shitbag" was born in 1999, when GF pronounced someone as such out of the blue (see Mariah Carey quote above, American Music Awards). There was discussion of starting a Web site (shitbag.com) on which would be featured "Shitbag of the day," "Queen Shitbag," "King Shitbag," "Little Miss Shitbag," "Little Lord Shitbag," etc. There was also to be a feature in which users could send online cards featuring a shitbag of their choice (uploaded from their computers).

Hey. New board.
I will invest in that site.

not your mom's socks.
Is this too shitbaggy for an academic publication:
Gloomcookie - it sounds right in tune, actually. Check out the latest from boxes and arrows. [link]
much feeling better for Ellie, Stephanie.
