I much prefer the soundtrack for Cry-Baby (the original movie, please.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What little I've seen of Grease has always disturbed me, especially the "I won't be worthy of him until I dress like a slut" thing.

It doesn't ping me, since she may change the way she dresses for him, but he actually changes what he DOES for her (joins a sports team and tries to toe the line) His change is bigger, although hers is, well, sexier.

ETA: and with that I post and run, since my lunchtime is over.

“It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.”

Does anyone know of any good, safe, indoor, non-electric heaters that are cheap?

Hot water bottle?

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

THEN I got the awesome news that I will not be getting electricity back. Period. Apparently until I move into my new apartment in THREE WEEKS AND TWO DAYS.

WTF? Is that legal?

Do you need a place to stay? We have electricity.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

THEN I got the awesome news that I will not be getting electricity back. Period. Apparently until I move into my new apartment in THREE WEEKS AND TWO DAYS. I will start counting down the hours as soon as they get under 500.

Is that even legal? It's not like you were delinquent in paying anyone.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

a down comforter? definately get a wool hat if you don't have one. I made it through a winter in high desert NM without heat in my apartment. It wasn't pretty, but sleeping with a hat on and under heavy blankets, I made out ok.

Alibelle, SERIOUSLY non-electric heaters (especially kerosene) are the #1 cause of house fires. Next up is candles left unattended. Even if you're not using them, are there any other tenants in your apartment house that might be using them?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

His change doesn't stick, though, and she sails off into the sunset with her smoking, slutty-dressing self,

Punishingly Intricate

Alibelle, not just no heat but no electricity at all?! That's crazy!! Is there any way you can move into the new place early? (Yay for getting that at least!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, they are not. Just Friday through Sunday, and I did Monday on my own expecting to have heat again on Tuesday, but my savings account is pretty tapped out now between the hotel and the car. They said they were going to refund me my February rent, but I don't have it in my hands yet.

Holy crap. That's really appalling.
