Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just spent an hour and a half with my new boss. Oops. Someone else was supposed to come in after an hour! I had no time-keeper and just yacked and yacked....

Yeah, so far, so good -- I like her a lot. Also, YES. That is awesome. I'm saving it for this evening.

I love the mom washing the dog. Heh.

Any thoughts on this? I want to use it as a temporary tattoo for promotion. The blue is for the coldness of the kiss ...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I know what you're talking about! I was just reading that!

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

That's a cute idea for Cold Kiss, Amy.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

For people who don't use the serial comma:

Are there times when you do use it? If so, when?

megan, the publication I work for uses AP Style, which means generally no serial commas. However, we do occasionally use it if it would significantly clarify the meaning of the sentence or make it easier to read. I see it most often when one or more items in a series are long or complex phrases.
