Flea, as a person who almost never has a snowday, I am boggled and insanely jealous. Though, I understand how cabin fever would set in after a day or so.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, flea.
Now they are predicting a foot here, starting tomorrow night, and I am excited because I think that means I can cancel the date I don't really want to go on, AND potential for a snow day!

Trust my rage
I have a hivemind-librarian request.
I am currently surrounded - literally - by information about Sudan and their politics. I'm looking for a reputable source (as in, not Wikipedia) that would support the idea that the government in Khartoum used to (pre-2003) forcibly recruit Darfuris into their Army to fight against Southern Sudan and that the North focused their forced recruitment efforts on Darfur because they didn't like the Darfuris for some reason.
(btw, did you know that forcible recruitment into an Army that wants to use you as a human mind detector, and torture when you try to escape, is *not* enough to get you aslyum in this country. Unless you can prove that they recruited you in the first place because they didn't like your people.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, with the date-cancelling luxury.
I feel completely unprepared for this upcoming meeting, but my usually-hyper boss seems totally unperturbed (I can't believe my brain just suggested "nonplussed" for that sentence...I plow on, irregardless).

Yeah, well.

Yeah, well.
Oh, act all modest. We know you and your buzzing social life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But it's partly buzzing because I agree to dates with people I'm not interested in, and then I regret it!
Speaking of dating, apparently my (gone!) boss thought I might a lesbian when she hired me. Oops -- so much for increasing diversity in the department? (We're all full up with straight white women.)

Well, maybe if you'd quit wearing chaps to the office your boss wouldn't find your sexuality so ambiguous.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I just ate a peach!
