A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Punishingly Intricate

Well, suck. I wanted to vicariously shop some more.

Not as exciting but I need to use my shabbyapple groupon and have no idea which dress would work for me!

Does that make sense? I still call it an 'L' station, as most of the Red Line is in fact elevated. In my mind, 'L' refers to the whole train system, the vast majority of which is above ground, even if some stations are underground.

Well hat else would you call it? It's the El! Or L. But it's not like only the elevated bits are called that and the rest is the subway.

ita you are not the only one who easily says "him" but stumbles over "so and so's....brother?" (I do it too, and end up saying "sibling" usually)

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

I want to shave the monkey's pubes.

Imma have to weigh in on this one. It's not as bad as wanting to shave the baby's pubes, but still wrong.

In other news, why oh why the grading? The grading never ends!

Wow. Through frugality the university is going to provide most employees with an increase of 2.5% starting January 1st. Money includes NO state funds.

Rock on NIU money people.

Ooh I like both of those first ones, Amy. I've looked at the Champs Elysees and love the look but I fear the white around the middle.

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

Well, suck. I wanted to vicariously shop some more.

I have a long history of impulse buying formal wear, plus people give me stuff.

However, I have a long history of impulse buying formal wear. So we'll see.
