Huh. I mean, I only lived in South Dakota until I was 7--possibly my parents would know chislic.

OMG, my roommate is having SUCH LOUD SEX. I mean, he kinda warned me, but he said it would happen earlier in the day, so I took my shit to a coffee shop for a couple hours...and came back just in time for them to arrive from wherever they were, and get busy. I'm playing loud music, but even still, can hear some screaming and shrieking, especially in the few second gap between songs. Argh.

I'm sorry, meara. I completely fail to get rudely loud sex (unless you have a kink about being overheard). It seems...rude.

ITA. But it seems more rude at night while people are trying to sleep.

But perhaps I'd find it rude partially because of my NGA status. Dunno.

eta: Loud sex people should just buy a house. But perhaps that's not realistic.

(She has previously accused me of sneezing too loudly, coughing too loudly, typing too loudly, filing paperwork too loudly, swallowing too loudly, and opening and closing drawers too loudly.)

You should have, mid "apology", sneezed ON her.

We had the same thing here [link] More proof that crime makes you stupid.

Utah gets green Jell-O? That's just sad.

I think this falls in the category of "not helping things."

Humphries also told the Guardian that Saturday’s shootings in Tuscon are “evolving into a conspiracy to destroy his organisation and silence criticism of the government.”

OMG, meara. That's so uncomfortable.

I'm still stuck on a teacher branding students with a Tesla coil, and only one person apparently having any problem with that. I would have gone completely ballistic. And then sued.

Hardly any members of Congress do. Why should she have? She certainly wasn't the only one to ever be threatened; why should she have taken it any more seriously than anyone else? If she had freaked out and hired personal security, imagine how that would have been received. Humphries is an assh0le.

Seriously, one night when I lived in a former apartment (the top 2 floors of a house), I watched a pizza delivery guy get mugged on my front lawn. The perps had called in a fake order to a non-existent address; the closest address was my house. He came up to my door to find out if I knew who ordered it. After I went back upstairs, I heard a lot of yelling and commotion, and looked out the window in time to see 2 dudes run around the side of my house into the backyard (and, presumably, over the fence).

I called the police and gave them as much info as I could. Turns out the police were able to track and catch the perps, because the robbery happened in winter, with a shitload of snow in the yard, so the police just followed the footsteps.

Crime makes you stupid.
