I think what's bothering me most about that is the phrasing "I was the scarlet letter." And I looked up the lyrics, and it's definitely "I was" and not "I wore" or something like that. Full lyrics: [link]
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Loki just discovered tv courtesy of an aquarium ad. He's meerkatting in front of it, fascinated.
I haven't had a cat who noticed tv in decades, since Thimble tried killing the air force channel jets.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, that's really cute! My cats ignore the box, with the exception of the one cat meowing video I watched once an my one cat bottlebrushed and wigged.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think if the singer is the Scarlet letter, it's her mom who must have been the pregnant Puritan.
They didn't have Sherwin Williams' alarming cover the earth (in blood red paint) one. [link]
So does this mean a wild-eyed Sherwin Williams clerk will assume I'm looking for the Color out of Space if I go to buy another can of vibrant violet and start shouting "THE STARS ARE RIGHT!" at me?

Loki's meerkatting in general is fucking cute. That he noticed the tv? hilarious.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, my team lost in the last round of bar trivia, after leading at the beginning. Bah!
Which bar trivia is this? Never mind!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
"You were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet." I keep hearing it on the radio, and have no idea what it's supposed to mean.
I had to run a Google search on those lyrics to discover it's Taylor Swift, and therefore not worth any attempt to parse, personally.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
bon, I was so excited that I was going to be on a winning team! But alas, we only won best team name.

I acquired a temporary cat, which was left inside a locked room at my house last night. Can I find it now? I will have to go on hoping that I haven't lost it for now.
Frank, my aunt found Lupus: The First Year a really really helpful book (and it's by a friend of mine, too, which is another zing in its favor -- I had a real double-take when I saw it lying on the coffee table at my aunt's). While lupus isn't "curable" it's often manageable, and your sister will find that a bunch of things that have been bothering her can be correctly mitigated, now. It IS a better diagnosis than cancer by about 1000% percent!
