Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WTF is the "no shooting craps" thing supposed to represent?
I guess it's just supposed to be no littering, but why is the litter square? No clue. I swear there used to be ones with a martini glass for "no alcoholic beverages" or whatever, and it always made me laugh that the subway was outlawing martinis and craps!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
This conversation reminds me of a conversation a million years ago when I was talking Oscar picks with a co-worker who declared herself a Movie Nerd and asked if I was one, too. I could only answer "No, just a regular nerd".
