I call Alibelle by her real name most times, but in my phone she's still Alibelle (also, she went to the Eclipse premiere.... please to mock her now).
Sara, did I mention that this year we have the entire week of thanksgiving off due to furloughs?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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

So completely unsurprising. Ah, we tried to raise her so well.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
just so I'm sure I understand the meaning of the term, "code-switching" is using more than one language in the same sentence/conversation, and using the languages such that they're grammatically and syntactically correct?
This is what wordnik says, but I've never heard it this way, but rather in the context of shifting appearance -- e.g., if you're gay, acting "straight" in some groups, and more "gay" in others.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think you should love me forever for sending you a gift certificate to Graeters, despite not seeing you that day!!!
I totally do!!!
I really want to get back to San Francisco -- it's been a while since I've been there, damn it. For a while, I made it out there literally once a year. Like, from 2001 to 2007, I think, I visited every year except maybe one.
And I miss it. I miss you guys!

Oh yeah! I knew there was a usage I'd heard that was more behavioral and less strictly linguistic. Hmm. Interesting.

So I should make my reservations with that in mind, eh Kat? Actually, that's nice, since if I fly weekends, I can still get shit done that needs doing without cost to the whole vacationing thing!
Vacation's been capped as of this year, so I will have to see how much time I have to play with. Plus this whole stupid self-imposed budget. OTOH, mom's already told me she'll spring for the airfare (I think she's kind of tickled I declared TG my own holiday, even though it means she doesn't see me) so that makes it a bit more doable.
Plus I have awesome free catsitters possibly (I adore my paid cat/housesitters/boarding, but it is 'spensive and I can't be as free with luxuries as I used to be.)

That latter definition is how I think of code switching.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah, the code switching I am familiar with is shifting language use specific to company.
Never heard of it in the context of the other, so I think someone should mail them a correction on that point.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
