You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have a vague recollection that there are a few Amanda Palmer fans on this site. She popped up on an Australian show, Good News Week, this week. I you want to watch it the episode's up at: [link] (It's Season 3, Episode 5, for when it moves off the front page.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh yeah, and the earth's axis went wonky and shortened the day during the quake in Chile.
Sooooo. End times?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
If the Rapture comes, I just hope I can get some sleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just hit the part in B'cracy where Cindy says she's never posting at TWOP.
Also I cheated at the training lab. But if I admit to it to the trainer, it's okay, right?

“Not dead yet!”
And not fall down steps while it's happening?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I finally figured out my login info for the computers here at school, so instead of going upstairs and checking out the book I need or studying for the quiz I know darn well we're going to have in an hour, I'm getting caught up here. I got my student ID this afternoon, too, so I'm finally officially a student!! Six weeks after school started. I was chatting wtih the professor in her office about work and outsourcing of library projects to India, but I had to leave when a classmate showed up with more pressing questions.
Oh, well, guess I should head upstairs.

Nope, Barb, I would take a thousand sore asses if I could just fall asleep every night within a 1/2 hour of laying down in bed.

I had 2 crowns put in and two cavities filled. What hurts? Injection sites and my jaw for being propped open for 90 minutes. The teeth that were worked on? Nope. In fact, I can't figure out where the second filling is.

I'm looking at this article looking for weaker women characters in movies and TV, and I only kind of agree with her. Because I can't let go of my Zoe love. I think that they often cripple an otherwise strong woman with a neurosis so she can't be too capable or too cool. Oh, she can kick your ass, but ha-ha, look what she can't do.
The idea of making more female characters neurotic like Elliot on Scrubs or fall down like Lucy on I Love Lucy makes me shiver. But I totally get the point that Megan Fox's character in Transformers is just a marionnette ideal and not even a character at all.
