Hubby wants to flip the mattress tomorrow and see what the structural status of the bed is. This involves excavating all the edges of the bed. I predict Men With Bad Backs Who Do Too Much, Look What The Cat Did, and Why Can't You Just Do What I Tell You?, among other fun domestic reality programs.

I cut a girl's hair off once.
Well, not all her hair. This was in 4th grade and I sat next to her and she was mean to me. She had this long long hair that she was vain about.
So I took a pair of scissors and snipped off a lock at the end. Not much. In fact she didn't even notice until I told her.
I only told her because I was mad at her and wanted to see her reaction. Of course this didn't help my social standing at school and one of her friends wailed about how her hair would grow crooked. You couldn't actually SEE anything was wrong.
The only thing that happened was I couldn't have scissors any more without supervision.

ACK! Loki just licked my eyeliner off! That was so random. He was nuzzling my hair and I turned to tell him to stop, and he just...licked my eyelid.
OK, pooltime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I gave my sister a fringe when we were little. You've seen black people's hair. There wasn't much actual fringing going on. I fucked her hair up and it looked unfixably stupid for a while. I don't think I got any birthday presents taken away, though.

I hate filing bugs. Our developers all have puppy dog eyes.
Huh. When I was a developer, if there were bugs, we wanted bug reports so we could fix it. To get the message to users, we put a cookie jars out with signs "reward yourself if you helped us improve our system by reporting a bug". (Yes, people took cookies even when they did not report. But it got the message across that if you notice something wrong, we really want you to report it.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Our developers don't actually do anything to impart guilt upon me when I report a bug. They just look anxious and kind of disappointed. I hate making them make that face. I much prefer the "The users really liked us!" face.

Our wings are not tired.
sarameg, I've had that happen with the puppy. She is obsessed with textures and scents.
Huh. I'll also be in LA. Where will you be? Maybe we can figure out a way to get together.
I don't know. Our friends are pretty different; don't know if they'll really get on.
