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

My hair used to get these great red streaks from the sun in the summer. I wish it still did that -- I loved that red color.

Mine too. I have no idea if it'd do it still. I guess not, but I hardly spend the same amount of time outside.

Okay, I got on top of a task that's been dragging and pretty much force-fed it to the next team down the stream, and still my big task is nowhere to be seen.

And y'all are slow as molasses.

Yeah, what's up with that? When I'm on the board's night shift, it makes sense. But what's the excuse now?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My excuse is I've been discussing dinner with my parents. I think we've settled on takeout from the pan-Asian place. I think I'm getting Thai curry.

You had to have a good excuse? Oh, well.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have two first cousins, on my mom's side. (None on my dad's)

My mom's the only brown-eyed, freckly redhead in her family (she takes after her grandmother)--the rest are all Black Irish (dark hair, skin that tans, eyes of varying hues not brown). My niece got the red hair (from both Mom and my SIL's mother, who was northern Italian from the Alpine region, so she had red hair instead of the stereotypical black) as well.

I've also been whining about my sunburn while my extremely pale mother tells me that it's not a real sunburn, it's just that my skin is slightly pink. Whatever it is, it's itchy. And also asymmetrical, which possibly bothers me more -- I only got burned on my right shoulder and the right side of my neck.

Oh, I hate asymmetrical burns!! The only good thing about a burn like that is that you have the option of sleeping on the unburned side.

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

Free criminal searches on anyone! Do you really know who people are?

Well, I guess it's public info. I did find my brother in there.....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My computer at work totally died today! I've never been so happy about a failure of technology -- this means I get a new one, or maybe get to keep my current loaner, which used to be my boss's. It's very exciting!!
