Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, that sucks, Theresa.

It's such an apt visual metaphor for parenting.

hee. So funny.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Theresa. Sorry so sucky!

I feel like the Facebook privacy shit should bother me more than it does.

Me too! Similarly, I still bank with Citi, even though they are evil.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Amy - I'm not a high school teacher but, as the mother of the child who set the school record for the number of days spent in in-school suspension, I know that at our suburban high school of 3,000 students, skipping school always meant in-school suspension - 1 day for each missed class, five days if you skipped an entire day - even for the first offense.

Because books.

Thanks, lcat! This is for my book, and I want it to be realistic. My junior higher is totally straight arrow, and my eighteen-year-old ... pretty much just never attended, so my frame of reference is a little skewed.

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

So, guy at work I've never said more than "Hey" to said hello to me by name today.

Just as I was thinking "No! Don't do that, guy!" he came over and introduced himself. Now, I know exactly who he is, because he does tech support one row over from me, and they're loud, but still.

You must never use people's names until they've been shared with you--and the nameplate on my cube doesn't count, because technically he can't see where I sit from just walking by.

Then again, I'm overly touchy today, because some other guy complimented the colour of my dress and I was taken aback. Upon reflection, hello, wearing the dress, so get over it. Also? Compliment. So relax.

But grumposaurus.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have marked the FB privacy posts to review later with CJ.

I think I am pretty open regarding folks with fetishes, but I just got a meet up request from a guy looking for a Mommy. He likes wearing ( but not using) diapers and plastic pants. Ok. No thanks. But good luck?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Rules 6, 7, 8 and 9 For After You've Murdered Someone

Do not steal your murder victim's truck, run out of gas on a major highway and then fall asleep inside the vehicle while you're covered in blood.

Some of the details of his crime are a bit gory....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So sorry, Theresa.
