I'm OK. I grabbed onto the only thing nearby, which was my closet door handle, but that's a sliding door that doesn't sit right in the track, so I just ended up pulling the door with me when I fell. I'm back on the couch now, and I think I'll stay here for a while.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Calli, according to news14, we have a winter weather advisory.
Yeah, weather.com says it'll be cold rain all day tomorrow (but still a winter weather advisory) and weatherunderground.com is saying ice pellets all day, which I believe is what caused that 20-hour gridlock on I-40 a few years ago. I have no idea what we'll wake up to tomorrow.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Nothing on the University or transit websites yet. Guess they're waiting to see what happens. Meh. Have I mentioned I hate ice? A lot?

I just IMed my mom, and after about three messages back and forth, she called me, because she "likes talking better than typing." I thought it was weird for her to call me when we were already having a conversation, and she doesn't get why I think it's weird. Like, she called while I was typing, and the first thing she said was that she could see that I'd started typing something to her and she wanted to know what I was saying.

Ice is for shaking with gimlets. In weather I hate it exactly as much as I like having electricity.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hil, I have to agree with your mom on this one. If the conversation needs more than 3 back n forths of text, and not wrapping up any time soon, call. But that might be because I do not have unlimited texts.

This wasn't text messaging, it was chatting on computers.

oh. well that's different. Then I have to agree with you. Although, I tried IM'ing with my mother, and her typing was so slow, it was not a conversation.

Yeah, my mom's typing isn't that fast, either. But it's not like we were discussing anything important -- I was just sharing a link and the latest snowpocalypse news, which was that my university it still waiting to decide whether or not to have classes tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, my mother's never going to enjoy IMing as a replacement for hearing my voice. I wouldn't expect her to. Burbling is different, plus there's the sensory aspect.
Hell, people wouldn't have phone anxiety if there wasn't something very different about it, for good or ill.
