lay around and have everything given to you.
To be fair, I do want this. But as a lifestyle, not a political system.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I also love the Pallas Cats. They're fluffy!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am laid out. And the pharmacy is balking at giving me my pain meds. I'd like enough so that I could be cogent for the call in half an hour, but I can barely sit up. Little chance of getting them by then.

Because books.
Oh, ita. Why are they balking? If you have a prescription, they need to fill it. I don't get why they give you such a hard time.

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

Oh, yeah. I haven't mistaken my laziness for either deserving-ness or socialism.
Norway, huh? I bet becoming a citizen of Norway isn't as easy as just moving there.

Because I have far too much time on my hands, I looked that up.
Doesn't seem too tremendously difficult, but they would have to at least put in an attempt to learn Norwegian.

Not difficult, then, but I wonder if the person in question knows that it takes seven years of residence, and that she and her husband will have to (a) learn Norwegian, and (b) renounce American citizenship. Since they're moving there to get their kids free healthcare and education, I wonder if they've noted that "In general, birth in Norway does not, in itself, confer Norwegian citizenship" and their kids won't be citizens until they are.
But she's probably not serious.

Probably not.
I looked into going to university in Scandinvia, actually, because tuition was free for everyone, but just about the time I was looking they were all moving towards it not applying to foreign students. Which makes complete sense, honestly. It would have been pretty inconsiderate of me to just barge into a country where I spoke not one word of the language just for free education. Although it would have been fun.
