Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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

They're having the "We're different in LA. We're used to celebrities. They're just like normal people. Here are the ones we've met:" conversation in the cube next to me.

Way to go to belie your point, bucko.

Also, this leads me to picture Jamia turning to him and saying "I love you. You are driving me crazy. FIND A HOBBY".

He can start by walking all their fat little dogs!

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

Thanks for clarifying ita, and sorry I got all huffy. I had a weirdly irrational reaction to being accused of baby-injury even though it was only metaphorical. I think I'm a bit of a freak today.

I just got back from a quick grocery run (just for dairy, other basics, and the makings for an Amatriciana sauce) and I am SOOO TIRED. eek! What if I am coming down with something? How will I survive the weekend?

I love how wee kids don't give a shit about what people think of their clothes. Their own opinion is the only one that matters in the world. At what age do we lose that?

I love how their clothing choices are often guided as much by some imaginary component as anything else. Not just the obvious like the fairy wings and the bunny ears, but things like wearing red pants because Mickey Mouse wears them, or overalls to be like Uniqua, etc.

Excuse me, but does anyone have a crowbar they could loan me so I can pry my lazy ass up and get some work done? A cattle prod might also work.

How annoying!

I always feel idiotically lame and starstruck around anyone I've met of any fame or note whatsoever. Actor, writer, musician, artist, it doesn't matter, I'm an equal opportunity goober.

I seem to have lost my motivation to clean the shower. If you can find it, it's all yours.

The problem with having to account for my time in 15 minute increments is that even when I am NOT bullshitting my time away on the internet, it's STILL hard to figure out what I've been doing and what codes to use to account for my time!

I think your motivation to clean the shower and my motivation to grade essays have run away to Aruba.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, thank goodness I can finally leave now.
