Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, here's where I want to live: [link] (has animation)

I love that they have two brand-new names for studio apartments! Although they are pretty big.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Well, if he was just drunk then he didn't do anything illegal.

At least, not after he reached the legal drinking age.

doing bad things in his "youth" when he was like 40, that make me mad.

Henry Hyde described a five-year extramarital affair that began when he was 41 as "a youthful indiscretion." By that standard, even I have at least a couple more months.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Don't remember if I used cocaine = not stupid enough to admit it out loud, but too attached to my image of myself and my playboy "youth" to outright deny.

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

Happy birthday, Sean!

Though I must stand up for the people I know who've stated they've seen ghosts and/or the boogeyman--I wouldn't characterise them as having "a primitive and superstitious understanding of the world" or being "bug fuck crazy" and I don't think you'd peg them like that right off the bat either.

ER visit ran way too late, and as a result I'm in no shape to get to the office this morning. But I'm logged in and working.

Congratulations on your weight loss, Allyson.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did you notice that in the "gallery" apartments, there's a curving partition that you can close off the bed with? (Leaving an oval-shaped bedroom.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That building is lovely but you could not pay me enough to live there. Doesn't it look like a hotel from Dubai?

Thank you for saying that, ita.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It does look very Dubai-esque.

Yeah you note that when I posted it I was bemused by the "monster in the closet thing" not the ghost part. Thinking the monster in the closet was real after you are grown strikes me as a little odd. And I'm wondering if people misunderstanding the question (did you see a monster in the closet as a kid vs. do you still believe it is real) or were screwing with the pollsters.

Compassionately intolerant

Gracious, if I discounted everyone who has had paranormal experiences or ideas, I'd have no practice at all. And, for the record, only 2 out of 8 years worth of clients were actually bug-fuck crazy.
