You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

eep. Those are pretty cute.

I know! And Torrid has purple ruffly knickers with bats on them. BATS! If they were pink, I'd be stocking up.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Also, whenever someone says they are looking for someone "real" i always think they are bitter.

I think "down to earth" or "level-headed" convey a search for the same sort of qualities without the added connotation of "unlike all those bastards that did me wrong!"

Hey I just got some spam in Swedish. I've never had Swedish spam before.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If it's in Swedish, how do you know that it's spam? Maybe you really have won the international lottery.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Or maybe it's a moose trying to apologize for biting your sister as part of a 12-step Biter Anonymous program.

From what I can make out they are wanting me to put my resume on their job search site.

Maybe, all moose speak Swedish after all.

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

Ah, so Swedish spam != Swedish fish. Good to know.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That explains all the moose vs. car accidents in Canada and the northern states--the horn doesn't beep in Swedish.

You know that job I mentioned upthread? Turns out that they want me to start this Sunday! Easiest job "interview" ever:

"Hi, is this Richard? This is Kathy--I work with your wife, and she suggested I call you about the office job for Sundays?"
"Hi! Here's the address and directions, the first appointment is at 11, so if you could show up a few minutes early for paperwork, that's be great."
"Um, don't you want to meet me first?"
"No, that's fine--we'll see you on Sunday!"

I don't even know what they're going to pay me, but it's only for three hours on Sunday afternoons and it's not too far a drive. Even if it'll only net me $100 a month, that's fine!
