And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Shit, Anne Rice is writing Bible fanfic and I know mine couldn't possibly be worse than hers.

I think this is an entirely safe statement to make, on just about every level.

But it's so transparently trying to have it both ways. It's absolutely morally wrong until there's a tough consequence to standing by your morals.

"Wrong for thee but not for me" as the saying goes.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ahaha! I do that all the time. Freak out and then find something exactly where it's supposed to be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Freak out and then find something exactly where it's supposed to be.

My favorite example of me doing this was when I was working at Waldenbooks. We had closed the store, gone to the back room and gotten our coats and bags, and were all walking back through the store to leave. I was scrabbling through my purse, trying desperately to find my keys, and told my manager that I might have to return to the back room to find them, when I realized that while I was rooting through the purse with the right hand, I had the keys already in my left hand. Boy, did I feel like an idiot!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Speaking of gifting, I don't know what's appropriate for our apartment building manager in LA. In NY, it was pretty clear what we should tip the super. But here? Do people tip the resident manager?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah! I'm assuming that since I haven't seen or spoken to building management since a maintenance guy gave me my mail key (a week after I moved in!), I don't have to tip anyone. SWEET.

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

A potluck email went out to 52 team members this Monday. When I checked the signup sheet yesterday fewer than 20 people had signed up, including one person who said they hadn't decided what to bring yet. Epic fail.

I am one of those failures, I have no shame in saying. But I don't even know any of the people who have signed up. Who needs new people anyway?

If those people are good cooks or good bakers? Then there is a use for them.

Damn, I hope not. Because I never have, and wouldn't know where to start.

That is a good point. But I'm still coasting on the plantain tarts my sister brought me, and the random brownies that pop up here and there, so I haven't been feeling the craving. And, dammit, I'm a good baker. Just lazy. Maybe this weekend...I wonder if I can get free trade chocolate at Whole Foods. Probably, right?

I had the same question. I feel like people don't do that here in SF, but I actually have a pretty great super and want to give him at least something. I was thinking $50.
