"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

K and KL

I know who these people are, but it took me a minute to figure out which one was which.

KL isn't working for a NO firm, her office is based in DC. I would say K or T would probably have a good idea of NO business behavior.

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

With my kids it was teaching them to separate want from need.

...still working on that meself.

Oh, no shit. Me too. Nothing like me reaching for something and one of my own kids asking me if it is a "need" or a "want".

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a friend who leaves next month for PC service in Africa. What was complicated, if you don't mind my asking?

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

NOW YOU ALL KNOW HIS FULL NAME,

It occurs to me that you have used it before, because it didn't surprise me.

Man, I don't want to go to the work dinner thing tonight. Even though I was already leaving the dinner early, I was going to leave early to try the life drawing thing.

WTF was I thinking? Where would I get all that energy? Sheeit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I know who these people are,

I SHOULD HOPE SO!

but it took me a minute to figure out which one was which.

Oh. Is KR's middle initial also L?

What was complicated, if you don't mind my asking?

Oh, man. Honestly, that is probably easiest covered in a phone conversation, just b/c it's complicated and rambly. Some of it's to do with PC, some with Moldova, and some with my personality and how I dealt with being in PC.

Really leaving now, I swears.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Of course, this may be a knee jerk reaction to people telling me to smile, because it enrages me.

"You don't tell me when to smile, and I won't tell you when to fuck yourself, okay?"

Matilda is still fairly charming in her statement of wants: "I wish to have..."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's not that, it's that I never use her middle initial for anything. It's my mom's middle name as well (she used to think it was after my mother), but it's the one that she goes by, so it's less confusing in my brain if it's just associated with one side of the family.

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

From the Chicago Tribune's weather forcast:

A hot pattern coming together early next week could set the stage for organized thunderstorms.

What are "organized thunderstorms"? I picture a group of thunderstorms marching together and chanting, "Thunderstorms united will never be defeated!"
