Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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

I was there -- it was a possum. Outside the window!

But it looked like it was inside. People always leave that part out...

And the part where I'd had rabies shots the summer before. So I was reasonably jumpy -- albeit maybe not reasonably "scramble over my friends and leave them to die".

The new low calore Gatorade rawks -- and I don't think it has artificial sweetener.

And Coke Zero is the SHIZ NIT.

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

Oh, Alibelle. You definitely deserve a do-over.

Ha ha ha. RTD the atheist is going to have a cow.

Serves RTD the athiest right for featuring floaty Tinkerbell Jesus Doctor in a season finale, I say.

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

Dear god, Alibelle, that's HORRID. And no I'm not pranking you from Michigan (and had I been, I'd have felt like shit for being part of a day like yours has been so far). Just whimpering from West LA. I'm a tentative on any plan, slightly less tentative if I don't have to be fit to drive at the end of it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy moly, Alibelle! That's a horrible morning.

Also: No scratching up the pretty Alibelle's face! C'mon! Not on kitten!

Kat, I hope all goes well with your Da's ticker.

Half-bottles tend to be REALLY overpriced compared to their full-sized brethren.

Also, I find re-corked (with just the regular cork, not any fancy vacuuming) wine generally lasts a few days. It's the odd brand that becomes undrinkable quickly.

Ann, that's a ferret.

((((Kat and family))))

Alibelle, I don't know what to say.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Thank, guys. I feel much better now that I've got the complaining out of my system. I tried calling my mom, but she absolutely hates when I whine about stuff, plus she was at Penn Station trying to get to work, so she was just like, "Just call in to work! Take a personal day! Whatever! Love you! Talk to you later!"

Neat, ita. I can get you. And even if you were pranking me, you shouldn't feel bad because things that are funny make me laugh. Parking tickets, messes, blooded claws, and sleepless nights are NOT funny when they are happening to me. Even when I'm cranky I have no problem differentiating.

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

I have a serving of VitaminWater at my desk and one of Coke.

Coke: 130 calories/serving, 39g of sugar
VitaminWater: 75 calories/serving, 19g of sugar

I don't see how VitaminWater is the worst health drink because it's SO close to Coke.

I know the part about how they don't compare ounce to ounce. But Vitamin Water is sold in the 20 oz bottle everywhere I shop, and IME people don't drink half and put the rest away for later. They drink the whole thing. Which is 125 calories. Which is SO close to the Coke above. It's also similar to a 5 oz glass of wine, or 8 oz of beer, or 2 oz of liquor. Just because the ounce to ounce is different doesn't mean they don't compare in the amounts that would be often consumed in one sitting.

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

But bon, I'm holding a bottle of VitaminWater and typing off its label right here--one serving=12oz=the full contents. Sure, they do sell bigger bottles, but they sell bigger bottles of Coke than the 8oz can also on my desk and those have proportionately more calories. So, no I still don't think they're SO close.

I didn't go out of my way to get these bottles of VitaminWater. I went to CVS. If you start doubling and tripling the volume of a serving and not take into consideration that calories may do the same...well, what can I do?
