You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Where is your port, ita?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Maria, the FPC clause is for minor things. Floods, cancer, and death are legitimately WTF traumatic.

Yeah, but all of this happening to ONE person in the timespan in which it actually happened? If I was reading this in a fic, I'd chastise the author for breaking the chains of believability. It's the reverse Mary Sue. OMG, I'm an anti-trope.

I can't adjust the dash lights's color in my Focus, but I can change the mood lighting's color. Probably the most useless feature in my car. But the first time I do a lot of driving at night I'll probably play with it.

I had a new Explorer as a loaner a few weeks ago, and that tripped me out. Aqua! Purple! Green! Silver! Too many choices. And I'm not a fan of SYNC. It's too complicated for a car. I had trouble figuring it out, and I'm fairly tech savvy. My parents? Would perish on the vine.

We aren't? Dammit, we need to remedy that. Quick, let's run away and join the circus. It can't be any more stressful than what we've been going through.

What about the clowns? Clowns would stress me out.

ita! (And I mean ita exclamatory yay, not ita !)

We were kinda worried. I am sorry/glad you have the cath. Sorry because needlesquick, glad because non-pokey, hopefully better service.

Perkins, I hope your toe feels better soon. That kind of pain is aggravating; it's not like you really can truly stay off of your feet.

ita, I'm sorry. I'd deal with all of my crap if you could be free of the migraines.

Erin, I haven't spoken to anyone about drugs yet. I'm in that weird health insurance phase--in between jobs--and I don't want to have to mark it down on the new form. Ergo, toughing it out for now. Whiskey may be in my future.

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

And I'm not a fan of SYNC. It's too complicated for a car. I had trouble figuring it out, and I'm fairly tech savvy.

Yeah. I've never had to RTFM this much before. At least the music side of it makes sense to me. Plus using voice commands is a much easier way to play stuff on my iPod (it has 9000+ songs) than using the touchscreen or using the iPod directly (which is too dangerous to do while driving).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The end of this game is bananas.

I'm not surprised DOT is going ape-shit over it. LaHood is really hammering at the distracted driving message, and Ford is being slightly tone-deaf in its responses to official inquiries. It's basically boiling down to: "Why are you picking on us? GM has OnStar, and you're not bothering them!" Uh, two different technologies with different purposes.

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

Where is your port, ita?

Under the spot where the bra strap gets wide, so where it makes least contact with me.

Just got a ping from a BC contact that she has no power and wondered if I did. Is the western seaboard down?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

San Diego, LA and Orange were (are?) out in parts. And some of northern Mexico.

Seriously. This was one crazy fucking game. Awesomely so.
