Ugh, Gloomcookie. I've seen that bumpersticker before, and it always makes me want to rear-end the driver out of sheer rage at the offensive and the aggressively moronic.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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

Happy birthday anyway, Allyson. And it's your birthday. While it's super nice of your neighbors to think of you, you can do whatever the hell you want. You can cancel or defer or go out with somebody else or lie upside down on your couch. It's your birthday and you have less of it than you'd like, so make the most of what you do have.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Thanks, PC. I should have looked at this which is clearer.
Ha, I disagree, as it took me half a minute to figure out what was what.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Allyson!

Heh. Reminds me of a recent business trip where a co-worker urged us to socialize some evening so we could talk about ourselves instead of work. With significant others present. Gee, an opportunity to take turns revealing personal details about ourselves to an entire group, including spouses that we don't know from Adam. Where do I sign up?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
it would seem to me that an online simulator of the electronics kits that seemed so cool when I was a young teen would be pretty simple to put together. I'd love to play with one, and see if I can grasp concepts now I never got then.
Heh. A year ago I was looking for the same thing. I found some that you had to pay for... I don't remember if I ever found any free ones.
Not too long ago I was looking at a simple circuit, and I suddenly comprehended (in a way I didn't in grade school/high school) how/why the voltage at various points would vary. I mean, in high school physics I memorized the formulas, but they didn't make complete intuitive sense to me....

Is it just me, or is posting at b.org very slow today?

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 just texted back to please cancel because I'm so tired.
I don't know why I find this so irritating. I think maybe it was the assumption that I don't have friends.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I tempt fate often enough, I have no desire to become shark bait.
"Ooh-ah-ah!" Sorry. Kneejerk.
Allyson, my birthday wish for you is that you get to do exactly what you want this evening. And that the coming year is filled with getting to do what you want when you want to. Many felicitations!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
not just the assumption that you have no friends, but just that you have no plans.
I often spend the day of my birthday alone. by choice. I go shopping, I go wandering, doing what I feel like. DH once happened to mention to someone that I was spending my birthday alone - luckily when that person called me, they understood that I wanted to be alone.
