Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

I cut a girl's hair off once.

Me too.

Well, not all her hair.

Me neither, as I was giving her a Mohawk.

To save money, our dad used to cut our hair (when me and my older brother were single-digits). Once I couldn't wait for him to get done with the evening milking so I cut my own bangs.

Ooh, I should ask my parents for a copy of the photo....

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

but an important one to avoid users reacting the way you do

We don't let the users report to them. They go through me. I make puppy dog eyes all the time, whether the news is good or bad. That's why they like me. I've suckered them in.

Sometimes it cracks me up how my boss is so impressed with and envious of my mad French skillz, when my real skill is buying decent friggin' reference materials.

I'm hungry and I need to make dinner, but I'm having an off week where I just don't feel like making an effort with my food. I think someone stole my cooking mojo.

Ginger, I moved the couch once when I lived in Georgetown and found nine tennis balls. I have never in my life purchased a tennis ball.

Sorry, shrift, I think that was me. I didn't buy any TV dinners when I did my groceries, yesterday and I actually cooked chicken and dumplings from scratch, today.

When I moved furniture around to accommodate my wii dance pad I think I found ~30 drinking straws. My cat steals them out of drinks (mostly when I'm finished) and runs off with them.

I was just earlier today wondering if I should call that girl I broke up with (but wanted to be friends with) or if I should let her be the one to call me. I was thinking it'd be less pressure on her if I invited her to a group thing (easier to accept or turn down, either way) except that my friends dint really like her. And lo and behold she just called me! And in perfect timing and such )we are both downtown) to grab dinner. Go universe. AND I look like crap. Which is also good, in this situation!
