Which reminds me, Trudy. I believe there was a possum who wanted to wish you a happy birthday...
Hee! I fear that was far more traumatic to the little people I climbed over on my way to the top.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think the Enquirer is actually really reliable now. At least, they protect themselves against lawsuits really well. So if the thing says, "IS MSBELLE A SPACE ALIEN???" the answer could be no, but if it says, "MSBELLE: FROM SPACE!!!" they probably have multiple sources.
Is my understanding, anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am not saying that it the Enquirer is wrong, I am sure that it is right, but just that "media" in the sense I think most people here use the term are NOT the ones reporting on Track's oxycotin use and vandalism.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just got evaluated by a recruiter. I'm going to need makeup for any employer interviews. Not for the wounds--he thinks I look 18, and with my hair its natural colour I do think I look younger. So I'm going to need some warpaint for authority. They need to believe 18 years of experience.

That's interesting. I definitely think I should wear more makeup and jewelry to seem older, but it's hard! I could do it for interviews, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. I'm more amused than I should be at Dana's mouse exploits. Would now be a good time to retell the story about how I was bit on the toe by a mouse? Because I was. Bit. By a mouse. Please insert comments about your sister here.
Pets can get into the snap traps, too. The Biscuit got his paw caught in one I thought I had out of his reach behind the fridge, back in the Pink House of Rodents. Mmm, peanut butter, he thought.
And I didn't like the covered ones because once I half caught a mouse in one of those and it was really nasty. And live traps so don't work past the first time because those mice are smart I tell you what. I have extensive experience in mouse traps.
I do not have extensive experience in interview makeup, though.

We tried some new kind of mouse trap that looked like a big pincher clip, and, swear to god, the mice were running across the trigger bit without a care. The thing went off--slowly--maybe 10% of the time. So back to the quick snap wire trap.

I've decided I have the nose of a six year old. That's the crux of my age problem.

That whole "steal your nose" thing is just supposed to be a game, ita.
