Best part of working at home (besides wine with lunch)? Surprise presents!
I was really starting to regret not getting a Christmas tree this year.
But then I got two things delivered today, from two different people, who don't know each other.
One box was a small potted Christmas tree. The other? An ornament.
It's like "The Gift of the Magi" in reverse. And full of awesomeness.

Well, really you just need the one virgin, don't you? So if you can get one unicorn you can get a herd. Unless there's some one unicorn per virgin rule.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hopefully, a virgin used as unicorn bait is still a virgin at the end of the procedure....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had a friend who sent out "I am no longer a friend to unicorns" postcards when she lost her virginity.
That's hilarious...and disturbing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
You totally did not take a bunch of people hostage and demand Coke.
I would have, IJS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's hilarious...and disturbing.
After all the work she went to, she had to commemorate it somehow. She did misjudge, however, the effect of sending cards to a group of people who were all communicating with each other more than they were communicating with her. There was a lot of "Have you checked your mail? Bwuhuh?" going around. At least she didn't send it to me at the family home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tim Curry scared me in Legend; I think it was puberty and they whole sexual dance thing. But that character freaked me the fuck out. (This is way, way before I'd ever even heard of Rocky Horror.)
I saw at least part of Cabaret at a similar age and had (I imagine) a similar reaction to Joel Grey. I still think he must be creepy.
It's like "The Gift of the Magi" in reverse. And full of awesomeness.
That's so sweet!

I know! The ornament was actually sent by the parents of a college friend of mine (lost to ovarian cancer a few years ago). She collected all kinds of ornaments and this used to hang on their tree.
