Oh god, please no brackety hugs and shit. SERIOUSLY.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, I want to crawl into bed and hide under the covers for a day, myself.
I also drive WAY TOO fast and am pushing my luck on a speeding ticket.

It's a numbers game with me -- not IF, but WHEN I'll get a ticket. I'm actually surprised that I don't get stopped more often. (This is the first ticket in a couple-few years.)

Seeing those flashing lights in your mirrors causes anxiety that is disproportionate to the speeding sin, so it's understandable that it wrecked you for a while, Steph.
While you didn't scream at the officer, I came in this morning to find out that one of the professors did scream at our student workers last night (for something not their fault) and she's totally being a shit about it this morning.
What went wrong? A link to a web page wouldn't work last night and she totally flipped out.

Teppy, I'm sorry. No hugs, but I will say that it is totally understandable. You've had a lot going on, and being pulled over by a cop for any reason (deserved or not) is always traumatic imho.
Can I have a little bit of job~ma for TCG? I don't want to take it from people that are out of work, but he is applying for a job this week that would definitely be a step up toward what he really wants to be doing and the commute would be SO much better.

I had weird dreams last night and woke up going, "Oh, god, no, please, I want to sleep." Not the way a season should start. Fall's my favorite season, and it's let me down. Perhaps it will be all good from here.

Certainly--job~ma to TCG!
Steph, I'm sorry you got pulled this morning. It's definitely something that can ruin your morning, but I hope the rest of the day goes better.

Ugh, I have flipped my shit about tickets FOR SURE. All that guilt adrenalin just bites.
Back from gym. I have not been in one in....seriously. I can't remember. 2004?
I remember liking the elliptical a lot, but now that have TV with cable on each one! And heart monitors on the handles. Neato.
I also got rid of the very last of all the glass recycling the ex left in the yard for us (thanks, Ms. I Am So Eco, I Bleed Green - pfft on you. And I'm gonna wash the dog, then eat some leftover pot roast. Yummy.

Whenever a cop pulls in behind me, I have to do the "lights are on, registration's current, I'm doing the speed limit, don't panic and do something dumb" chant. But it's a tense few blocks until he changes lane and eases up behind someone else to see if he can spook them into something stupid.
