Steph, that makes perfect sense. I just figured I should point out that if you had your heart set on signed cards, you can just send them to him.

(Heh. I should make him sign the Vampire card of me, because that would be funny.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

When I was in high-school I had a car with a PA speaker under the hood. My friends and I said lots of silly and random things to strangers, but never insults. I can't quite comprehend why someone would do that. Of course I also don't understand why anyone would think wolf-whistles and shouts of "Hey, baby" from the window of a pick-up would be a turn-on.

Punishingly Intricate

I think mostly they don't think it is a turn-on. They think it is a way to easily humiliate their target. That's why I like to disarm with a friendly reply!

Hey, did anyone else dream that the world was ending last night? I had an incredibly vivid and scary dream to that effect and just found out a friend of mine did too. Worried I should start preparing for the, you know, apocalypse!

Rural girls showing off for the college boys. Not appreciated by everyone, but definitely preferable to insults.

Wow. That's... special. This former rural girl showed off for the college boys by drinking them under the table and then going home alone without exposing herself to anyone!

Shrift, your whitefont has convinced me. I'm buying the ep off iTunes tonight!

I'm totally biased, but the opinion I saw on LJ after it aired was, "If you don't understand why we love Frank Iero after watching this, you have NO SOUL." So yes.

So...does that mean I'm really Pete?

I had to stop and figure out whether you meant Jilli's Pete or Pete Wentz.

I... need sleep.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, I've managed to do a real number on the little toe on my right foot. I smacked it into the corner of the dresser last night. Now it's puffy and turning interesting shades of purple. Also, it hurts to move it. Feh...

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

I once stopped traffic....because the car stopped to apologise to me for the rudeness of the jerks in the car in front. I was gobsmacked by the apology more than whatever the jerks had yelled, and I'm not sure I even thanked them.

There are just people not wired right. They don't have a delay between the formation of words in their brain and their expulsion from their mouths.

I used to get yelled at a lot. Nothing as cruel as some of what's been said here, but do you really need to slow down and stick your head out the window to shriek "Dennis Rodman!!" or "Grace Jones!!!" at me? Really?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That's ... the funniest notion I've seen all day.

The funniest part, for me, is that that's not the first time I've seen this confusion.

Did you know that Pete Wentz was the one who unveiled the Halo 3 figure at the Vegas Madame Tussaud's? We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Can Tom Cruise get any wackier?

Tom Cruise was left furious after a crew member on his latest film set passed wind during a minute's silence.

The Hollywood actor - who is currently shooting World War II drama Valkyrie in Berlin - had paused filming to honour the anti-Nazi heroes portrayed in the movie when one employee decided to use the tribute to break wind.

Fellow star Christian Berkel - who plays anti-Hitler plotter Albrecht Mertz von Quirbheim - said, "The film's director Bryan Singer, the screenplay writer Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise asked us all to observe a moment's silence shortly before we started filming."

A source on the set told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "Fortunately the mystery gassy man didn't completely ruin the touching gesture.

"Quite rightly, Tom is furious. We were filming at the Bendler Block in Germany where the anti-Nazis were executed."

The source said Cruise decided to ask for the minute's silence to show respect for the deceased and appease the German government, who only allowed the movie to be filmed if post-war Germany was shown in a positive light.

The source added, "So for somebody to pass wind in a situation like that is unforgivable."

The silence was filmed and now Cruise and the producers will go through the footage to identify the culprit, who is likely to be fired.
