David just ass-dialed me right now. He doesn't realize it, but he's on the phone with me right now.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

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

I have been under the impression that signing up for credit cards and then canceling them is bad for your credit score. Or signing up for, like, seventeen credit cards. I don't need more credit cards. I am happy with the one I use and the one I keep open just because it's old and I never use it. My dad claims that nothing bad will happen and I should be taking all these free miles because they're free, and I say nothing's for free. I guess he's been doing it for years and been fine, so I don't know.
To quote Dave Ramsey: "No one has ever gotten rich from frequent flyer miles."
Yeah, I figured it was a French thing that I just don't understand.
A lot of it has to do with the fact that many girls and women are abused by families and neighbors if they don't wear the veil, so many of these measures are to protect the women that don't want to wear the veil.
Also remember that, unlike the US, France has a strong tradition of assimilation. Or, as David said, the French way is the right way.

Yikes! I was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That reminds me, I have, I suppose, extensive reward points with my credit card that I should use for...something. I should check that.
My father once accidentally sent a blank text to a guy I hooked up with. For a million reasons I hope he'd deleted my number from his phone.

You were having breakfast with Matilda, right?

Yup.

David has a chatty and indiscriminate ass.
I have a metric shitload of reward points. I probably should have used them for some of my recent big ticket purchases. Der.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I get ass- and toddler-dialed a good amount, since, unless someone has an Aaron in their contacts list, I'm probably at the top of it.

It's very discriminating! It likes Scola and P-C like all right thinking asses.

A discriminate ass knows both when and who to dial.
I wish I had enough FF points to join my sister in her trip to Durban, though. I don't have enough for that...
