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.

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!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got an explanation on the name from my SIL:

Gavin picked her name from about five different choices we gave him. He calls her Neavie. I think he likes it because it sound like Stevie, he knows we call your dad Grampy Stevie sometimes.

That sounds interesting.

I'm beginning to suspect that I'm never going to get DCI Tanner/DI Boyd slash.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
