Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Art Crawl!!!

Pronunciation question: are the two ways that Americans tend to pronounce the word "hoof" - regional differences? Or is there an actual right and wrong way to say the word in American English? (I have no idea how they pronounce it in England - probably 100 different ways depending on regional and class differences.)

I think that the plural also tends to be pronounced differently - one with more of a "v" sounding "v" and the other with more of an "f" sounding "v".

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I skipped a bunch - will catch up later. Hope everyone is well and safe and stuff.

point. I have an interview in an hour and 20 minutes. Please to send positive energy that it go well and that it is a job I would like and be good for. Pay is good, benefits are crap, but I think the pay makes up for it and I would be doing work I believe in, which I think would be good for my mental health.

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

I vote for mental health for msbelle.

So, I went into the office yesterday.

And made it to about 3 before the pain had me twitching.

Thank dog, my workload is relatively light right now. But I don't know if it's worth trying for the office again today. Yesterday was miserable.

Punishingly Intricate

Will be sending out the vibes for you msbelle!

Am sad about Elizabeth Taylor, not that it was unexpected. She was one of my all-time favorites.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, msbelle!

Also, WTH is wrong with my eyeballs? They are itchy and puffy. I guess it's allergies? Because I have been sleeping and haven't been crying.

Maybe you're crying on the inside, Jesse.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Bad sinus headache. The dog walked me this morning.

Freaking out about my mother's visit. Mostly that she'll hate my apartment and my whole life and demand I come home where everything is safe and in neutral colors.

MAYBE I AM. That should still not affect my eyelids, though, right??
