Well "show off" does imply pride and positivity, even as it objectifies. Little things.
Ah-ha! That's why it pings me. Plus the vague sense of ownership implied in "show off".
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

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

I can parse that in a team way, though. If I were to show off the developers in my group, it would be me being chuffed that I work with them.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm outta here, finally. Off to buy one last gift, throw a bunch of shit in a bag, throw bags in the car, and drive all of 35 min.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ew.
Sorry.
At least I didn't suggest a mechanical bull?

My condolences, ita.
I know I'd want to chuck Bomer, because treating me like a secret to be hidden would NOT fly no matter how much money was at stake regarding his heartthrob image. Probably M Collins and F Vartan, but that could easily be switched depending on my mood.

From what I've read he's just not out to the media. But he's out to the industry and they're raising a family. That's not good secret-keeping.

That is never going to stop being funny.

That would make more sense to me if we worked on the same team. But really, our only interaction is sitting in the same contractor bay.
And because I keep forgetting to say it, I'm very sorry for your loss, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, man: Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins separated over the summer. Bummer!

ION, I think I need a bunch of this fabric to make a skirt out of. And maybe some buttons, and a couple of heart appliques.
