Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My mom and step-dad were ok with it, my dad...probably still thinks we don't sleep in the same bed. (This is the man who got us a room with twin beds for our honeymoon)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. That would have been a big N.O. at our house. In fact, when the SO & I were courting, I stayed at a whole 'nother house when visiting him. Of course, that led to a lovely relationship with the elderly and gracious lady who was my host, so I don't begrudge it.

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

I love this spoiler classification scale:

It should also be said at this point that there is at least one major twist in the story that I’m not going to blow because I deem it an Empire spoiler. For those out there that don’t get my reference, imagine it’s 1979, the internet exists and you’re reading rumors about the new Star Wars sequel called The Empire Strikes Back. There’s some new guy called Lando, there’s a big battle on a snow planet, Luke meets up with another Jedi and Darth Vader says something to Luke near the end of the picture. Sure, those are all spoilers but if I came out and said what Vader told Luke? That’s an “Empire”. What’s in the box that Brad Pitt holds in the final ten minutes of Seven is an Empire. Kevin Spacey’s change of footwork at the end of The Usual Suspects is another Empire. Got it? Good.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Mac!!!

You shared a bed with your BF at home, Cash? I so don't come from that accepting a family.

I don't either, ita. My parents wouldn't even let my sis and her fiancee share a bed. He had to sleep on the sofa bed in the un-heated basement.

Whenever my brother brought a girlfriend home (or on vacation with us,) they shared a bed . Of course, I think my parents are less uptight about this sort of thing than their kids.... Ok, than me.

I shiver at the idea of having sex in the same city as my parents (and, in all honesty, I think it only happened once)--we have a big old no-go zone where nookie is involved.

You know, I have had a couple migraine twinges today, but nothing over a 2 that didn't respond to low-impact meds and steadied breathing.

Oh! Heck, I think I can go home now!

I'd like to share with you all what a puzzler it is to try and construct a test to be given four weeks from now, when not only do I not quite know what I'll be teaching, I haven't yet learned the stuff. Right now it says, "Draw this:" with a big blank space, because I need to design something that will assess what they, and therefore I, will learn to do... in the next four weeks.

This is due tomorrow.

These could be useful, and not only in a mean way.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh! Heck, I think I can go home now!

Yay!
