And (because it merits a separate and much nicer post of its own), welcome, Shir! Any friend of Nilly's is welcome, with delight!
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Speaking of Nilly- My sister says she just finished Vampire People and she loved it (of course). She says she cried over Random Acts of Paypal.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thanks for the citation help, peeps!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's no way that the decoration back there could please everyone, but there's no need for the guy to be a pisser about it.
Hell, I saw what it looked like before you guys did anything to it, and however "inelegant" what you ended up with, it was sure better than what you had before.
Wait--so if you don't get Colin's place, are you still moving? I hope you do get it, and it's not nice of the landperson to discover a friend from her back pocket (but such is the risk with these connection of a connection things, I guess).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Welcome, Shir.
Sorry for the badness, Allyson and ita.
And I can't rewach Blink. Empty child scared me, but the weeping angels just creeps me out - completely.

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'm going to keep looking for a place and hope the friend doesn't want it, ita.
The whole backyard thing made me feel like an idiot. I mean, six peopel contribute to the decor and care of the garden, so it's more in line with my sense of funky contemporary. He wants it to be more elegant and Martha Stewart. Which is fine, but when I asked where my red ceramic bowl (I kept extra votives in it) was, it was stacked up on the side of the house with the "junk."
It just seemed purposefully mean.

Hello, Shir! Welcome to non-lurkdom!
I must share this beautiful shot of Chicago by night from 36,000 feet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WTF, Allyson. Did you let this person throw away stuff you had bought? That's not right.
Is the term "social" common knowledge?
Yes. Like they all said. Of couse I always want to make it "soc" like from The Outsiders.
Hi Shir!

No, I didn't realize my lights had been tossed until they were in the trash, under heaps of dead leaves and dirt.
He did ask if I wanted my tablecloths back.

Allyson, I'm sorry your neighbor is such a shitheel.
