Yeah, the neighborhood's Best Boyfriend Ever is in a couple of bands that play frequent gigs. I don't know how S does it, she used to be one of those in-bed-by-9 sorts. She's in lurve, I guess. But anyway, those are late nights. If I were to go, I wouldn't be asleep until sunrise, and I just have too much I want to get done these days.

Events start at midnight?!

Hell yes they do. It's the freaky morning events I don't understand. 9AM? That's EARLY, dammit.

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

Allyson, that's a harrowing experience, and I'm very glad you made it out the other side intact.

I've discovered that my mortgage is not appearing on my credit report. How can this be? I went to Citi to apply for a loan - ended up not taking it, but in the process I discovered this. The lady doing my paperwork said, well, you credit score is really good, maybe it doesn't matter! Um, no, it matters. I've been making payments on this mortgage for two years! I want the credit, so to speak. Frankly, my credit was never very good before I got the mortgage, so I can't understand how it can be so good without it. It's not like my spending habits have significantly improved.

But jeepers. The last time I tried to correct something on my credit report, I spent months and ended up failing completely; the erroneous items are, AFAIK, still on there. Whatever the magic trick is to get credit reports updated and corrected, I don't know it. Anybody got advice?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

did you pull all three reports? Is it possible it isn't on one, but it is on the others?

Dear seller on eBay UK: Thank you for answering my question about shipping! Now please change the auction listing to reflect the fact that you're willing to ship to the US, otherwise the eBay UK UI won't let me place a bid. And I really want the jacket, dammit.

No, it was only Equifax, apparently. The notice I got in the mail only listed that one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, but at least one of them is wrong, and I've no idea what, besides writing a thousand letters, I can do to get it fixed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I would probably work to correct negative information. Neutral or positive information is a harder sell to get them to correct.

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

I just fixed my sister's sex life, and I don't think she fully appreciates it. However, she did say I could sleep with one of her exes. That's sad, that my closest hypothetical hookup is her favourite ex. I really should be able to do this on my own...

I want to dress in drapy black and lipstick that looks like blood and club with Jilli.

I also want to bleach my hair again, but I don't have the energy to do it myself. I can't work out if I need a black salon for that...
