I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

You need two forms of ID to get into the fricking Pentagon.

That is understandable. But I don't have two forms of ID. My passport is expired, and I'm not a student.

Well, it's a free show. If they don't let me in with just my driver's license, I'll laugh, buy some alcohol at a corner store, and then go home.

Trust my rage

As a military family, I always laugh when my parents ask me, "Do we need to bring ID?" because for us, the answer is always "YES - the more the better."

The status is NOT quo.

WOOT Allyson! CONGRATS!

Urgent care for me is on Fair Oaks in Pasadena.
We share Urgent Care. I've been pretty happy with them overall; they shot me up with something when I was in similar back agony, and it helped a lot.

ETA: Kat, holy crap! I heard about that on NPR this morning. How creepy! Did you ever get a weird vibe off of him?

That song is so weird because I have loved it, and it has made me cry, and now it has been used in so many montages that it actually makes me laugh out loud when I hear/see it juxtaposed with "heart-rending images.

I may have mentioned that I actually had to snorfle a laugh-out-loud when I heard this at my friend's actual funeral. For a real dead guy, actually tragic young death. And yet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My work ID is a picture ID, which I've used to get into other workplaces, just because it's faster to pull out than my license.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks bon-bon-- That is it!

I think I would have too-- it might have even started a giggle loop (tm Coupling). But then I think maybe it is just that I a) watch a LOT of TV and b) hang out on-line and in person with people who watch A LOT of TV that I even notice the Hallelujah thing. I mean my mother has probably only seen it in West Wing (maybe), and Criminal Minds. Where I have seen it in 14 of the instances listed. And I swear it was on Ugly Betty, too!

ETA- wikipedia lists 3 more instances where I would have heard it- Cold Case, Roswell and Ugly Betty.

That is understandable. But I don't have two forms of ID. My passport is expired, and I'm not a student.

An expired passport can usually be used as a second form of ID, depending on how long ago it expired.

But then I think maybe it is just that I a) watch a LOT of TV and b) hang out on-line and in person with people who watch A LOT of TV that I even notice the Hallelujah thing.

The two instances that have stuck with me (in a good way) are West Wing and Without a Trace.

I didn't get a weird vibe off him, Kristin. He was well-liked by kids. And he was known as a hard-ass disciplinarian; he became a Dean that handled all of the kids being referred out by teachers. Hence the gun thing NOT surprising me.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Also, I'm not intending to defend him but:

Lizarraga said the victim, who enrolled at Markham in December, attended Saturday English classes on the campus at East 104th Street.

The girl, who does not speak English, was near a restaurant in the neighborhood when Rooney approached her and "forced her into the car," Lizarraga said, adding that he knew of no relationship between the two.

Faye Banton, an L.A. Unified director of school services said that on Monday the parents of the alleged victim went to the principal's office to ask where their daughter had been Saturday.

It's sort of a clusterfuck of stupidity (and would make a good novel). The girl WASN'T where she was supposed to be and he allegedly picked her up and sexually assaulted her. And she doesn't admit that it happened until AFTER her parents go to the school to figure out where she was when she was supposed to be at school.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

My mother and I were walking in Woods Hole, MA a year ago, and went into the aquarium, which because it is on federal property requires ID to enter. She didn't have her wallet with her, so I got to be her "custodian" while we looked at the fish. Womanfully, she restrained herself from any illegal shenanigans while in my custody.
