Aw, Matilda. Aw, the narcissism of the very young.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Give me a Time-Turner and maybe I can squeeze it in.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ha, JZ! I've had that exact same conversation with my little boy!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
JZ, that's delightful, and
just like with my pets, I keep making the fatal mistake of anthropomorphizing - I receive some kind of feedback and erroneously attribute it to a recognizably human emotion. With a 4-year-old, just as with a cat or dog, this is almost always 100% completely wrong.
is funny as hell!

Oh, thank God, Burrell. It's at least comforting to know that it's not just my kid, that "dreamy little sociopath" is completely developmentally normal.

not your mom's socks.
that "dreamy little sociopath" is completely developmentally normal.
last time I checked, yup. Mine own occasionally turns into a chocolate volcano too.
JZ, you should write more.
also, yup.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
A nice piece on that Northwestern Human Sexuality course, from someone who took it a few years ago: [link]
That was well-said.
I don't have penis envy
I totally don't get penis envy. It seems to me that the only penis envy that happens is dudes who wish theirs were bigger, and that need is now being met by spam.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've come to the conclusion that dealing with 4-year-olds carries many of the same pitfalls as dealing with cats and dogs; just like with my pets, I keep making the fatal mistake of anthropomorphizing - I receive some kind of feedback and erroneously attribute it to a recognizably human emotion. With a 4-year-old, just as with a cat or dog, this is almost always 100% completely wrong.
Bwahahahaha! Oh, this is so true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I totally don't get penis envy.
Yeah, when I learned about penis envy in class, I thought it totally did not make sense. Then I learned about castration anxiety and the Electra complex, which makes even less sense IMHO.
