Has anyone else noticed that the world seems to have conflated "wary" and "leery" and is using "weary" when they mean wary and/or leery??
I've noticed. It's been making me batshit crazy(er).
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

THANK YOU, JZ. I figured it wasn't just me. What has happened to the English language?? I grow weary.
And young girls, they do get wooly...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah it's getting bad out there, before you know it people will start using the wrong words for things like "Jumper" instead of "Sweater", or "Chips" instead of "French Fries", and mispronouncing words like "schedule".

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I blame Otis Redding.
Ok, I was aware of this one.

Today is really not the fucking day to pull shit on me. I'm so very close to snapping.
And the locksmith calling freaked me out because he sounds exactly like my mechanic and I couldn't figure out why he'd be calling me.
