“Not dead yet!”

Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke", best song ever Y/Y?

It's a damned fine chart-- but I think for me, it's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The thing about the Acorn non-scandal is mainstream news seems to be buying a lot of it - which means a lot people don't know it ISN'T a scandal.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

AUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why must people be SO STUPID?!?

I ask myself this every day.

This state seems to have more than it's fair share of stupid people too, Barb. I would start a campaign to rid Florida of stupid people; however, I fear how few would remain once we were through.

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

I am so burnt out. I sincerely need a comp day. I'm just FRIED.

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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I don't know anyone who rents an apartment, so I'm venting and querying here. I got a notice today from the site manager about me breaking my lease with "heavy footsteps". Which of course means my downstair neighbor who already informed me that she could hear me waking up at 5:30 in the morning and I told her I would try to be more quiet. And I told her that I could hear her slamming the doors closed, and she said she'd try to be more quiet.

Things were peachy for a while and then the doors began slamming again, and in my ears, maliciously so, but I let it got, because it was during daylight hours, and the air conditioners were off, which makes everthing louder.

My mother visited, she left, I got the notice that I was walking too heavily. The previous tenants never complained about me walking around in my apartment on the second floor. They said I was wonderfully quiet. Since the first conversation with my neighbor, I tried to be more quiet getting out of bed, but it's hard to remember "Be quiet or the Narmene monster will get you" when I am just regaining conciousness. Even so, I tip toe in the morning, and all the doors are shut ever so quietly when I head out.

And she slams the doors. Two doors, she manages to slam them four times. I've ignored this, figuring it was the lack of a/c white noise and it was daytime, whatever.

Then I get the notice.

I told her that if there was ever any problem, to talk to me. So, now, do I call up my site manager and explain that there's no way I can walk any quieter without not actually living there (the floors are really creaky, even for me) and that she's a noisy bitch as well, or should I first go to my neighbor and try and work things out.

I mean, I want to work things out with here because, hell, we're neighbors, I want where I live to be pleasant. But if she sicked a lease violation on my ass, I also want to sick one back at her. My 250 lb mother visited for the weekend and I couldn't here her opening and closing the downstairs door or my own apartment door. So my waif-like neighbors door-habits seem even more malicious than before. Overly paranoid and cynical? Gah! This upset me so much when I got the notice. I'm afraid to get up from the computer and walk to the bathroom for fear she might find it too noisy!

Mostly, I want to do violence upon her for being such a fucking light sleeper (this is the same woman who called the maintenance guy to dispose of the decapitated mouse on the stoop, instead of tossing it into the bushes and washing her hands. This is also the same woman who is allergic to catsw and is living in a "Cat Friendly Community").
