I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am wondering how one confuses preppy and goth. I am also wondering about being OK with purple hair or blue hair but drawing the line at black. Seems arbitrary to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Like, from 2001 to 2007, I think, I visited every year except maybe one.

So I moved here and you stopped coming. I SEE HOW IT IS.

That seemed odd to me too. Black is a hair color that is more or less found on people's heads naturally.... purple and blue not so much.

I accidentally dyed my hair purple once. It was awesome.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am of the opinion that any circumstances that could lead to an accidental dye job are prima facie awesome.

I too find the colour thing odd. Is it because blue and purple are perky or something, while black is too Wednesday Addams?

That was my only thought - purple = fun, black = satanist, or something.

And I meant to be dying my hair, the box just lied to me completely. I sent my mother a picture because I KNEW she'd be furious (she is very anti-hair colors not found in nature) but lives thousands of miles from me, so her annoyance was just amusing. But the purple WAS pretty awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I knew a girl in college who dyed her hair purple for most of the semester. At the end of the semester, when her parents were coming to visit, she tried to dye it back to its natural reddish brown color, and it ended up a dull copper color with streaks of green.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds about right. Oh, Jilli, there was the cutest babybat on my cruise -- if I had been closer to her at any point, I would have asked if she knows your site. She had this cute black lace sundress.

I woke up way too early this morning, after going to bed pretty early, and I would consider just going to work early, but I don't know what time the early shuttle leaves! Oh well.

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

I got into a strange discussion with someone (elsewhere). She was offended by this quote from Cameron Diaz:

Oh gosh, I can't even count how many times I've gotten on a plane for love. It's not unusual in this business; my lifestyle demands it. I'm always traveling for [whispers] cock. You've got to go where it is.

Part of my issue was...lady was being interviewed by Playboy. So what? At least I can't see her pubic hair.

Also, what in hell is wrong with travelling for sex? Or maybe it's because she said (whispered) a naughty word. Again, in Playboy.

Dude, it's porn. Next thing you know, the nipples will be scandalising you. Stay away. Also, from the internet.

I don't even like Cameron Diaz much. But I have no problem with her being a sexual creature, nor with the idea of an international bootie call. Come on now. There isn't that much sex. Sometimes even famous people have to do a little legwork.

OMG YOU HAVE SEEN THROUGH MY PLAN.

And realistically, it seems to me like it's less whorish to travel for cock, assuming you're working somewhere you don't know people, and the people you know are somewhere else. If you see what I'm saying. She's shooting in Bulgaria, so she should pick up a random Bulgarian??

Edit: I mean, assuming you're buying into the culturally-standard slut-shaming, which I am not. I don't care who anyone has sex with, or where they are located.
