Kat in Natter:
The precursor:
Brave. Very, very brave.
The gods' honest truth:
Or very very stupid. If you squint your eyes, they often look like the same thing.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Can't believe no one's posted this. In Natter:
Cashmere: What's a mouse?
Polter-Cow: It's like a touchpad you can throw at the wall.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In the Gaming thread, the latest BSG game has reached the trash-talking stage:
chrismg: You have now expended both your Super Crises, and done less damage to our resources than Apollo did with his Emergencies.
-t: I have to say "We can punch ourselves in the face harder than you just hit us" is a pretty funny taunt.

The inimitable ita!
Do you have any idea how many people I just killed with my bare hands (that wasn't the bad part of the dream)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Toddson. Bitches.
Someone once asked me what you could use tofu for. My response? "I hear it makes pretty good insulation." (YTofuMV)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Toddson. Natter.
Give me the internet and a board to post on and I can move the world.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I decided this really did need context:
Erin in Bitches:
Yep, the Tooth Fairy. Wearing scrubs and a pair of wings, and teaching dental hygiene to elementary-school kids.
Pros -- Dude, I'm a melodramatic fool when it comes to teaching. And I could get paid to wear glitter and wings to work!
Cons -- Some days, I could easily see myself as that cynical type of cigarette-smoking, flask-sipping anti-fairy: "Bitches, brush your motherfucking teeth. It ain't hard. Up down, all around. Now bring momma a bucket of fries and a martini."
Dear god, why am I up so early?
Laga:
You have to get the teeth while the kids are still asleep.

And Erin follows that up with:
Barb, if I have to take a job as the Tooth Fairy to make ends meet while writing, you are taking up a collection to fly me to the next RWA meeting to accompany you as the Motherfuckin' Muse Fairy.
I'll be on a panel, and I'll thwap people with a Nook: "Here, your fucking writer's block is gone. Now you have a concussion. Getcha ass in the chair anyway, and write some shit. That scene needed a little hot blood anyway. Now, get the Muse some potato skins and a gimlet before I condemn you to a life of Mary Sues."

I'm catching up in Natter today:
Sophia Brooks: I have had multiple people ask me why I worked, since I claim to lean toward socialism. I think they think if you believe in socialism, it means that you want "something for nothing" and are lazy and just want to lay around and have everything given to you.
Jessica: To be fair, I do want this. But as a lifestyle, not a political system.
