Am waiting for official offer on dream job with dream org in dream city.
Yay! I'll be ~~~~~~ing for you.
And, yes, CAT makes me happy, too.

[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Much ~ma for the exciting development, smonster!
I want a cat that would make me happy. Possibly a dog, in the event that we can't find a cat The Girl isn't allergic to. But ideally a cat.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Cycled to the PO, where there's already a holiday-sized line. Then to TJ's. Saw a location scouting crew from Universal on the way.
mini-rant: Given that they're devout Catholics, I should know they've already got cognitive dissonance down cold so I shouldn't really be surprised by my parents. But I still can be surprised, somehow.
Mom: "We don't call it 'rent', we call it your 'share'."
Me: "If it were my 'share', then my adult brother & sister who also live here would also be paying their 'share'."
Luckily, she didn't go off on me at that point. Which my dad probably would have. Blind spots so big you could fit the Spruce Goose in them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Me: Mom, can you look online at the weather and see how long we have before I have to be worried about snow?
Mom of Cass: Yes, but first I want to watch you put on your socks.
Fair enough.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Damn, those things are sock porn.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have a pair of those on RIGHT NOW AIFG! I'm actually going to derby, though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Spidra, I am shaking my head and thinking some very, very bad words at your parents right now. Charge rent or don't, fine, but be consistent and fair. Or, a maxim that came up again and again this weekend - do whatever you want, just don't be an asshole about it.

I am trying to figure out how to deal with rage and anxiety without letting Tom know I have rage and anxiety.
Maybe go to bed?

Maybe.
Or take a shower?
A walk?
Take a book to "read quietly"?
Ugh, trying to deal with rage and anxiety while hiding rage and anxiety sucks.

No kidding. I recommend a long bath/shower. I like to imagine the rage and anxiety melting away...that is, when I'm not screaming at the person/thing I'm enraged about in my head.
