I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ghostbusters I & II as a unit are everyday quoteable.
"I collect spores, mold, and fungus."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"I collect spores, mold, and fungus."
As one does. Which reminds me, from Highlander the series (and yes, we use this quote a *lot*)
Mac: This isn't more of your moss stuff, is it?
Darius: (reassures) Oh no.
Mac: (sips)
Darius: It's more of a mold form.
(spit take)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
"That's a big Twinkie."
In my head, whenever something's about to go wrong, I hear Sheldon from the episode of BBT when he was sick. "You're all doomed. DOOOOOOMED!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I quote Supernatural episode titles a lot. Which, since they are quoting something else, is kinda stupid. But when I say "Good God Y'All" I mean the episode with Ellen in it. Castiel's lines also get a lot of play in my head. "Assbutt" especially.
Note to potential suitors: if you only date black women, I DON'T WANT TO DATE YOU. Sorry. It's a thing. If you boast about how good you are at dating black women in your profile...jesus. I got past the Assange mention in your note to even read that far. What was I thinking? Right. That OK Cupid bites for me.

Clearly, I have PTSD from last winter: even with this paltry (but mildly problematic) snow, I am glaring at the car who is stealing 2 of my neighbors' spaces. I want clingons (bumperstickers would work too, but I'm not feeling that mean) that say I STEALZ PEOPLES SHOVELED SPACE. I R JERK . And then I'd buy in bulk and use them.

I have never been more grateful for having a driveway. This town is OLD, and the majority of stuff in town is rowhouses with no parking. We have room for three cars in our driveway (side by side, too, not stacked) and we've offered it to the nanny around the corner when she can't find a space. The snow has made it a giant mess for so many people.

We're pretty well behaved in this neighborhood, just taking the space we cleared. And without snow, pretty much all have our regular space and stick to it (though I do admit to getting annoyed with the tenants parking in MY space at times, but they are new.) I have a garage, alley access, but it isn't currently functional (I need to measure and make sure my car will fit. Then replace doors with automated overhead.) Plus, with the main alley shovelers out of town for this storm, the alley is a mess.

I have the opposite reaction. I'm more "if you've moved your car, it's not your fucking space." Seriously, that shit drives me nuts. There are neighborhoods in Chicago where people block off their space with lawn chairs and stuff and it makes me want to run them down. (The chairs, not the people.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jilli, now that you've missed the Edwardian Ball again, I alert you to the following events promoted by Swing Goth:
2/11, The Second Annual Tim Burton Ball
2/26, Slim Jenkins: Voodoo Swing Band
3/19, 3rd Annual Steam Punktrick's Day
4/2, Abney Park performance, two full sets with cirque performance
Also, I'll share some Matilda logic with you. Friday night has evolved into Friday Night Treat Night for Emmett and Matilda. If they eat their greens, they get some candy.
Matilda tried to wiggle out of her greens requirement after her candy bar was already secured: "But Mom, if I eat the broccoli my arms will be too tired to eat the Kit Kat."
