Happy birthday, Perkins!
And, aww, Kathy! That's great. You are someone personable who makes people at ease! You'd be great at that job.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Gee, thanks!
Roxanna (the co-worker) will hand off phone calls to me to make because she gets uncomfortable sometimes, but I just love chatting with city and state workers while tracking down info. Not only does it brighten up their day to have someone not bitching at them, but I occasionally make contacts that come back to reward me (with info that hasn't made it to their websites but they're willing to e-mail me as soon as they get it).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The match.com people suggested this for my headline:
Headline: Uproarious, creative, warm writer seeks an uproarious and real guy
SERIOUSLY?
Help.

Uproarious?? Twice? That's...kind of frightening. Also, whenever someone says they are looking for someone "real" i always think they are bitter. Not that I have anything against people who are bitter and cynical when they are my friends, but you should come off that way *intentionally*, if that's your plan...

I guess you and your non-robotic partner will a really uproarious couple.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Snarky but warmhearted and creative writer seeks smart guy who likes the above.

That's perfect for Allyson, Scrappy!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
If I were going for a single word for you, it'd have to be some portmanteau like snarkalicious. Or maybe ferociousnarkwitted.
But very decidedly not uproarious.

snarky + loyal = snoyal!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oops:
Did the internet just cause Sarah Palin to destroy evidence? The potential Veep is in a bit of trouble for conducting state business using her personal, unarchived email address (gov.sarah@yahoo.com) instead of her official account (which is, of course, subject to laws requiring the retention of government records). Emails from that Yahoo account are already being sought in connection with the Troopergate investigation. Now comes word that Anonymous, the fun-loving Internet trouble-makers based loosely around the message board 4Chan, gained access to another Palin email account: gov.palin@yahoo.com. It looks legit! The offending posts, screenshots, heretofore unseen family photos, and emails have all been deleted from Imageshack and 4Chan. But we have them. You want to read Sarah Palin's email?
Ok, sad thing first: a good Samaritan reset the password and tried to alert Sarah. But he also posted the new password, causing multiple people to try to log in at once, freezing the account for 24 hours. And now, the account has been deleted! Which is, as we said, maybe destruction of evidence? So for now this is, we think, all we'll get to see from this email account (if anyone finds evidence of saved emails, let us know.)
