Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.  

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Low-waisted trousers (on any gender) have a limit.

How about on monkeys?

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

I've seen tattoos that certainly seem to invite one to think of the bearer's ass crack, much like a really high-riding whale tail connotes raunch without showing any extra flesh.

Today the tops of my boots are closer to my knees than the hem of my skirt. In opposite directions. The woman who has worn a suit 9 out of every 10 days (a dress on the tenth) looked me over very slowly this morning. The woman in the cube over from me is wearing a wool knit cap. Others are wearing flip flops. We so definitely don't have a dress code, and if we did it would be unlikely to explicitly prohibit *my* outfit.

So, uhh, there.

I must be living on tape-delay or something.

"Dear boss, Once I dreamed I was a butterfly. But perhaps I am a butterfly dreaming I am a person, and everything (you included) are just part of my dream. So I am not coming in to work today, just in case I should suddenly find myself naked."

I once had a roommate who did that several times with class and rehearsal. It was more, "Well I dreamt that I was at class so I thought I had gone."

Last night I dreamt that I went to work, stayed until lunch, then blacked out and found myself at home (but my home was a dorm) at 4:15 with no memory of what I had done that afternoon. I woke up very confused until I realized that I hadn't been to work yet.

WTF boogaloo is nice and succinct and expressive.

I just fell to the compulsion to drink a can of Coke. Well, more to the compulsion to buy one since I don't think I can drink the whole thing.

I have no idea where that compulsion comes from, although it occurs more often when I have a cold.

I hate that, because it feels like you're doing it twice.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Today the tops of my boots are closer to my knees than the hem of my skirt. In opposite directions.

Calf boots with long skirt? From context I'm thinking not. Thigh high boots with miniskirt? Or am I misinterpreting?

I could really use a diagram.

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

Miniskirt and calf boots. The boots come to 1" below the knee, the skirt ends 3 or 4" above the knee.

Yeah, the opposite direction thing confused me too. I know there's a way to say it, but I haf no brain. Monday ate it.
