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.

The status is NOT quo.

Or at least convincing yourself to just lie down and stop faking being awake does.

I'm so glad that I decided to go to sleep after one lone "pithy" post.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For fear of crazy posting or wandering around, I take ambien ONLY when I am about to get in bed and then I stay there, so no hallucinations for me. The DH tells me I talkto him sometimes when he comes to bed late, and I can't remember doing it, but apparently I never say anything that interesting.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What is the advantage to this? Why is it seen as an improvement over starting your car with a traditional key? I like the key, and don't see why this is better, but maybe it is.

At a guess, you can copy a key.

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

I have *no* idea what the hell I was trying to say now.

Roughly, " dude I'm so stoned."

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

With the particular way I get my ER drugs now, it seems I turn into a pedant. I've been told that what I say often makes sense, or seems like it would if you could untangle the strands since I'm perfectly happy having two or three conversations at once.

I suspect it requires patience from those around me.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Shrift, what do I want? What does fandom *need*?

I'll probably change my mind in five minutes, but I've got two "so rare it moos" fandoms, one "pretty rare and it HAS NO PORN, WAY TO LET ME DOWN" fandom, and one Canadian fun fandom.

Pushing Daisies did make the list. Of course, the true Herculean task now is to figure out what I'm going to offer.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

At a guess, you can copy a key.

But people will figure out how to copy the wand/stick before too long, if they haven't already.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For yuletide, I have a "canon let me down" fandom, two "past yuletides have whetted my appetite for this" fandoms, and a "pretend I'm not asking for this because the actor posts on this board" fandom.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, it would be a benefit for me, because my key was copied, and poorly, so you have to stick the key in, then pull it out a little, to start the car by turning it. Actually, in practice, you do those two steps about fourteen times, with added jiggling, and increasing profanity. The SO refuses to ever use my key.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Our car (Nissan Versa) has a crazy thing where you just need the... fob, I guess, it has the computer chip in it... on your person and you can unlock the door just by pressing a button on the door handle, if the fob thing is in your pocket. The ignition turns like a regular ignition, but there's nothing you need to insert.

It's cool not to have to fumble for your keys though. All about the proximity!
