Annabel's pirate costume for tonight is billed as a boy costume. I hated all of the girl ones I found--one or two were appallingly sexy for any prepubescent child, much less a preschooler, but most of them were just...ugly. At least according to my tastes. They reminded me of the cheap costumes from my childhood, except minus the plastic mask. You know, the ones where you were dressed as Wonder Woman, but in a plastic smock with a picture of Wonder Woman on the front. OK, they weren't QUITE as bad as that, but they were pretty cheesy all the same. So Annabel will be a pirate in pants, with a velvet vest and a fetching tricorn hat, and I think she'll be the cutest pirate of either gender EVER.
Willow: You know what they say. The bigger they are... Anya: The faster they stomp you into nothin'.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
In asset management. Nobody would know if you were being serious or lude. It'd be great!

Dear IT Guy,
Take the chair, really. I have zero interest in you leaning over me for the next howevermany minutes.
Assuming I did not break it, I do not care what went wrong with the machine.
You are spend a lot of time talking and I have no idea what you are talking about.
I do not have time for this conversation. Please just fix this and go away.
Alternately, once you tell me "its probably faster if you re-boot" go away and let me do that.
And stop looking down my shirt.
Ta,
Me

Trudy - oh, dear. Does he smell like Quiznos or patchouli?

I'm pretty much both all the time, anyway.

If you need to establish your cred with Playboy, make sure you don't tell them about the boykissing. I'm sure lesbians are okay, though.

I've worked in IT for, what, 9 years and I can safely say pretty much everybody I've worked with has been as described. I'm the only person I've come across who says, quite regularly, "I've no idea why it's broke". Because people in IT rarely know. I get in trouble for it, because managers like bullshitters.

Heh.
I don't even care why its broke. His carefully crafted bs is completely wasted on me. Just make it better. Or work on it somewhere else. Or when I'm gone. I have eight hundred other things to do and you're BABBLING. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
And you can dress as something sexy and have it be a costume.
Ah. You answered a question I had before I asked it.
Black Canary (or Jessica Rabbit for that matter)=costume.
Sexy Snow White=Opportunity to dress slutty.
Right?
I don't mind sexy or slutty costumes, what makes me sad is that you'd need a holiday for it. It's called the weekend ladies!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the Galleria Quality costume even about? Singapore escort?
That site could redeem itself ENTIRELY with one picture--of a boy in one of the skirted costumes.
At work. Today is trepidacious to start.
