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

OMG, I have to draw this weekend. Draft submissions for this challenge are on the 1st. I can't believe I spilt soy sauce on one of my pictures. I try and do too many things in too few places. Jesus.

Ganked from DX's LJ: Great, possibly life-saving catch.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's part of a commercial for Gillette, apparently, and probably fake.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Shrugs are the bomb. They can take a good dress through multiple seasons and levels of formality.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I had a feeling it was probably fake.

Time Warner apparently has something in their tech support script to ask me if I want to consider bundling my phone services with internet and cable. Really? Now, when I'm calling you because your shit don't work? You want me to put all my eggs in a broken basket?

What peculiar timing.

Okay, off to see how many errands I can get done before I run out of steam.

I can't decide which cardinal direction to start off on. I should probably factor in difficulty of parking and timing of picking up frozen foodstuffs. This is very complicated.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This is Comcast. I used to get cold calls from Comcast asking if I wanted to switch my phone service to them. I told them: "I am not particularly happy with your cable service, so why would I want to switch my telephone service TO you."

The rep said "that is a good point. thank you for your time."

Never got another call from them.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Ha! Oh, I do! That totally counts.

It's really a question of, if one removes the heart and soul from one person and puts them in another body leaving a shambling empty husk behind, which person keeps the name?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bwah! Such an apt comparison! And yeah, that was the one and only time I cheered for the Avs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So! You guys remember a couple of years ago where I worked up my social nerve to go meet a bunch of strangers who were doing a birdwalk with the Audubon society, and then I got there and nobody was there and I cried? Well it took all this time, but this morning there was another event and I tried again. This time the goof was that I didn't know it was a charged event and of course I didn't have cash on me, so I was about to go to the bank machine when I remembered there was a bunch of change in my car. So I totally paid in, like, quarters. But I went!

And it was totally awesome, and informative, and I identified a bird in the presentation because they mostly know the ponderosa pine birds and I mostly know the pinon juniper birds. There was a talk on identification, on backyard habitats, and on optics. It was so great! And then there was a walk afterwards.

Whereupon I got a whopper of a nosebleed and didn't get to go. But thank goodness it happened standing in the parking lot next to my car with box of kleenex and not, say, in the middle of the forest with a bunch of strangers! So I'm back home and lying down, but I consider it a successful outing. They've got a bunch of events, so I'm happy to see them doing so much stuff.
