Hah, now I want mac n cheese, even though I'm quite full! Though I would also just like to go hang out in a park with friends, that sounds awesome too!

hip deep in pie

Hil is wearing tenty pants, pass is on.

My commute to work is about 20-35 minutes in the morning depending on traffic and buses. (Not counting time standing line at Starbucks.) On the way home it's a 55 minute walk or a 30-45 bus ride.

Now that university is out, both rides are a little shorter. Once grade school is out, it will get even faster.

Because books.

Hil is tearing minty plants, pass it on.

I need ice cream.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hil is swearing at twenty aunts, pass it on.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shirl, my sister's gf, sent me a Father's Day card. This is what she wrote:

The boys are off fishing so they can't sign your card but they appreciate being fathered especially since it means that you may spend eternity in hell.

Awww....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aw, tommy, they appreciate you!

My longest commute was hour-and-a-half, each way. Shortest was 15 minutes each way. I hated commuting. Thankfully I never had to use public transport. Me + annoying humans + stress + no escape = nervous breakdown +/- eviscerations. I am grateful to whatever gods sometimes smile and pet me that my commute these days is down the stairs and past the kitchen.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hil is carrying Fentimans, pass it on.

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

Has Steph left for the shore already? I missed calling my mother to wish her a happy birthday, and I blame her. A cold, emoticonless email will have to do.

Happy birthday, Steph!

Because books.

Thankfully I never had to use public transport.

I always thought I would prefer driving, since I could smoke and crank tunes, but in NJ to NY traffic, I think that's when I would have killed someone (or possibly many). I got so much reading and napping done on the train.

Hil is daring sycophants. Pass it on.
