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

I also don't think that Neal has worked out to be scary wrt Peter and Elizabeth yet. Although they'd both be fierce for him. He's still a bit protected by them more than he's displayed protectiveness. Sure, not to be discounted, but not fully powered up yet. I think he's been more Kate-focussed to date, although hopefully that's over.

Whereas all of HEP (TLA stands for Three Letter Acronym, Perkins) are already violently bonded.

A co-worker's wife sits a few desks away from this past weekend's megamillions winner. That's too close. I'd expire from jealousy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, hey, Leverage Season 1 is on Netflix streaming! I really have to watch it now, don't I?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

OK... I'm not sure how this happened, but I proposed some changes to our student directed/student written/student designed one acts, and now they have created a new job for me- Design Mentor (there is a directing mentor) to facilitate the student designers and directors (none of whom have taken a class in design or directing, but have worked on shows) collaborating. I am pretty excited, although I won't get paid more. They will be hiring someone to take on some of my costume duties for the regular shows, so I am hoping this might be a good transition from the costume shop into things I enjoy more.

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

That sounds great, Sophia!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's awesome, Sophia.

I think you should ask them to pay you more, Sophia. I mean, the worst they can do is say no, right?

Ari Shapiro is an INFANT. Also I mentally pictured Korva Coleman as a 55 year old white woman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm checking my gmail account and I see I have an email from Owen--who is at school. He created a story at pbskids.com and emailed me a link.

So cute!!!

What is this instant click thing she's talking about?

I hope the date is going well, tommyrot. For me, on a first date, all I'm looking for is, do I like this person enough to spend another hour (or few) with them. "Instant click" physically is often a bad idea, and instant click on a personal level is super-rare, IME.

I think the same thing happens with people you become friends with to. At least to me it does

Totally. But rarely! I still can't believe I actually became great friends with a woman in grad school, because we were together in our first class, and I immediately wanted to be her friend after listening to her comments in class, so I kind of maneuvered my way into having lunch with her. And it was totally right, and true. And we aren't lovers....

Here's this thing about this NPR version of "Telephone": [link] Is that an NPR producer, or a tall Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

That is AWESOME.

Also all of this! Funny.

So the same money for different/better responsibilities? That sounds good, but I agree that you should ask for more money....
