Liese, coping~ma, and while this doesn't help you at all, I'm looking forward to your profanity laden braindumps.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am in a hotel room! And thinking about where to have lunch. It's only an issue because checkout is at noon, and my meeting is at 2, so ideally I need a not too crowded, not too expensive, conveniently located place where I can shlep with my suitcase. Which would be fine, except I'm in Times Square!

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
If you're able to get back there later, the hotel will probably let you leave your bag until after your meeting.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, except the meeting is in between the hotel and the train station, so I might as well just take it with me. I'll make it work. For one thing, I have no problem with having lunch at 11:30, and/or sitting in random lobbies to kill time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sadly, not an Onion article: UNCW prof vows to destroy atheist student groups: "I seek power over the godless heathen dissident"
A Supreme Court decision forced a California state university Christian society to accept gays as members as a condition of receiving support from the school ("Other groups may exclude or mistreat Jews, blacks, and women -- or those who do not share their contempt for Jews, blacks, and women. A free society must tolerate such groups. It need not subsidize them, give them its official imprimatur, or grant them equal access to law school facilities.").
This ruling has upset Mike Adams, a prof at UNC Wilmington. He's vowed to disrupt atheist student societies by filling their rosters with Christian evangelical students, "to use my young fundamentalist Christian warriors to undermine the mission of every group that disagrees with me on the existence of God."
As PZ Myers points out, if the situation were reversed, Adams and his fellow travelers would doubtless be even more apoplectic: "I can just imagine what would happen if I tried to turn freethinkers on campus into militant disruptors of other organizations: their faculty advisors would descend on me in fury."
But Mike Adams isn't looking for debate. As he says, "I do not seek robust debate. I seek power over the godless heathen dissident."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As he says, "I do not seek robust debate. I seek power over the godless heathen dissident."
Godless Heathen Dissidents would be a great name for a band.

Does anyone else hyperventilate? I’ve been on and off doing it for the last week or so and it’s really pissing me off. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid but this is a really long stretch even for me. Any advice? The only thing I can do is try and breathe shallowly to reboot my stupid brain but then I either get distracted and notice I’m yawning to get extra air or just give in and do it anyway. Grrr. And then when I do stop, I notice I’ve stopped and just the thought of the act of hyperventilating is enough to set me off again.
Also, godless heathen dissent is like my number one pasttime.
