In this case, it is for the President's Inauguration. I'm guessing his office isn't paying anything.

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

Huh. When I worked at a university they did that too.

So bestiality is no longer legal in Washington state? I need to update my files.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Yeah, i was under the impression that Washingtonians were pretty darned good at beastiality (occasional death notwithstanding.)

ETA very quickly to clarify: not in GUILT, but like one tries to avoid being killed by a silverback ape.

There's a reason we Seattle-ites tend not to leave our urban confines.

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

I am so happy to see all the Mr Rogers love going on here. I've always thought of him as a truly gentle man.

I want to teach Stiff and then get a field trip to the morgue. Is that screwed up?

I think it's brilliant! I've considered teaching that book to my students as well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I want to teach Stiff and then get a field trip to the morgue. Is that screwed up?

Yes. I love it!!!!

I'm ashamed to admit how severely I'm ignoring most political news, but I feel so helpless to do anything with the rage.

This is pretty much me. I can't even deal with the news any more, so I'm pretending it doesn't exist.

Also, how did Ohio sneak a "best" in there?

I think Teppy helped tip the balance into "Nerdiest."

I had to work extra hard since you moved out, Cash!

Also: Ohio, REPRESENT!!!!! (I'm trying to think of a nerdy hand gesture, like a gang sign, and all I'm coming up with is: Zoltan!)

Punishingly Intricate

ugh, msbelle, that sucks!

I want to get mad at the realtor and ask them to pay for it, but he is a family friend.

And that adds to the suckage. I'd at least mention it to him. I would have assumed termite inspection was automatically done.

My sister likes to trot me out on Skype for her friends, telling them stories. This weekend I used the phrase "daughter of one of my internet friends" and her friend was all "internet friend? wozzat?" She honestly didn't get that you could acquire new friends online. I just realised I need to tell her friend to read a couple chapter of Allyson's book.

Same to some bitter wench on gawker who was all "internet friends aren't real and they can't help during times of distress." Your internet friends, madam. And perhaps that's because you suck.
