You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

She'd pull a knife and fork out of her back pocket. And possible some spices.

I'm trying to be better organized at work, rather than keeping it all in my head. It's a good thing too, because OMGSOMUCH is going on that even staring at my lists and instructions I'm all wait, what were we talking about again?! Oof.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I finally ate at Applebee's! And it was delicious. And there looked like a lot of other good things on the menu. So there. The only annoyance was that the check was fourteen-something, so I asked for change from my $20, because I was going to leave a $3 tip. Perfectly respectable. But she came back with a $5 bill for me. I over-tipped out of annoyance. Who does that?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude. "Can I get change" means "can I get the change broken down into smaller units". Not "can I get back the difference between this and the total on the bill". That part comes by default unless otherwise stated!

I should only go on crime sprees with Teppy.

Good plan! And remember -- we SAY NOTHING TO THE COPS!!!

You would think that it would not be horribly difficult to find a pair of uncropped, reasonably priced cargo pants. And yet.

Well, at least I found the Threadless store all right.

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

And remember -- we SAY NOTHING TO THE COPS!!!

We haven't even knocked over any major financial institutions, but already we have a Code of Honour.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I over-tipped out of annoyance.

You're just reinforcing. That is maddening, the not getting small bills back.

God, I know, right? But then I started talking to myself about how she needs the $2 more than I do, BUT STILL. It's not like I got a lot of service.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

that's very sweet of you. not getting the change I asked for is a pet peeve of mine that often results in the server getting a much crummier tip than I had originally intended. Yours was lucky to have you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Harrumph. What did you eat? And where was this supposedly good chain restaurant in the city? I went to a TGI Fridays once in Manhattan. And it was the sketchiest, most depressing place I have ever been to in New York. When we got there, the police had already shown up.
