Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

3) suggests you consider marrying someone who is the person you most want to spend time with but the thought of embracing 'sends a cold shudder down your spine' (this just makes no sense - how can you be literally disgusted by someone you really like?)

Um... a close blood relative?

She 1) claims that all unmarried women over 30 want to be married and have children (I can name several Buffistas who: neither)

That was the part at which I stopped reading. Which, happily, was pretty freaking early on in that piece.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, she goes on to mention that if the marriage fails and you end up being a single mother, at least someone's on the hook for alimony and taking the kid off your hands from time to time. What a warm and loving woman she is.

Take note, if you get Nutty in a Secret Santa drawing.

Tonight's dinner will be popcorn again, and I'm obsessing over the idea of getting melted cream cheese over the whole thing. Fixated, I tell you. I cannot imagine how I went this long without a popper. And, really, even though I want cream cheese over everything, they're still plenty delicious naked.

Embracing? Well, I hug pretty much all my friends. So no, no chill spine. But usually if someone is a good friend, the thought of sleeping with them probably does send a chill down my spine. Ew. Like sleeping with my sister or something. Just wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, we need a stompy for thread creation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn you, ita -- I still haven't bought kernels for popping!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

In a related note, I'm bereft that the Baby Loves Disco event is already sold out for this month. No clubhopping for us.
Have you been? I went to one up here and was ... unimpressed? Particularly because J is mobile and the layout was awful. Two adults to wrangle one pretty well-behaved child and we only managed about ten minutes before we left.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Okay, I hit the link to read that article and then continued to read Natter. So so glad I did. I think the snippets I got from y'all is quite enough, thank you.

Why, in all earnestness, do some people prefer being married to someone they don't love rather than being single? I really really don't get it. Are people that afraid of themselves/hate themselves so much that they can spend time alone? If that's the case, I feel very sorry for them.

I'm single, but I'm not unhappy about that. Would I like to find a great guy? Most days (honestly some days I'm not sure. I like my independence too much), but I'm not pining over what I don't have simply because I like what I do have too much. Frankly, I'm pretty good company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dear FedEx,

I hate you.

What? Where are your damn shoes?
