You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The protesters who have a picture of Obama with a Hitler mustache were outside of the post office again today.

When they approached me, I managed to say "Stay away from me, please." Yes, I said PLEASE to the fucking people comparing Obama to HITLER. And their other complaint that I could see was "Save NASA." You can clearly see how that equals fascism.

I wish I could be Vortex. Instead, I say please.

“Not dead yet!”

I'd like to catch the Chris Evans in a mistake or any way. Also Robert Downey Jr. who was so adorable on Letterman last night, he made me squeal.

I am Amy in this.

“Not dead yet!”

Also? Mary Chapin Carpenter and Vince Gill need to do lots more duets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, so really not when I talk to HR again next week and she asks if I have any questions about the summary of benefits she sent, which include the fact that you can't take vacation until probation is up?

Our wings are not tired.

Dana, don't feel bad, I say "please" and "thank you" to my dogs.

AppaLAYshin = north; AppaLATCHin = south. The dividing line seems to be about halfway into Virginia, from what I can tell.

Huh, I did not know that. I wonder why the variation. I am definitely a northern Appalachian person, being from Southwestern Pennsylvania.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I happened to try a Double Down for lunch today - it was okay. I couldn't actually finish it, but it was pretty tasty, if very greasy. Made the french fries seem much more wholesome. I doubt I'll get it again - the cheese kind of interferes with the crispiness of the chicken, which is my favorite part of fried chicken.

IHOP in general is not appealing to me. I don't even put syrup on my pancakes, so all that other stuff just seems like way too much.

Mustache. Moustache. Mustachios. Spellcheck is not flagging any of those spellings. Huh.

Okay, I love you just the way you are. But, to avoid these sorts of people, you must learn bitchface. They will not approach you. The downside of bitchface is that sometimes smarmy assholes will say "smile!"

I had a pretty serious bitchface on. Apparently when you are an idiotic protester, you have no idea of how to behave like a normal human being.

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE YOU GUYS WRITE IT MUSTACHE?

Huh. I never noticed that either. I definitely put the O in.

In jr. high one of my teachers asked if I read a lot of British writers (yes) based on my spelling. I wasn't aware of it until she pointed it out. I think "traveller" was one of the clues.
