High-functioning sociopaths have that "fake sincerity" down so well that it's almost a superpower.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
You are all awesome and I love you. (unless you're a sockpuppet. then you can go hug Copernicus)
Heh.
Man, now I want eggs. And cheese. I had a bagel with cream cheese this morning that was AMAZING. Possibly just because I was so hungry, but seriously, I want like five more bagel sandwiches now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
This KateP makes me so much happier than the "I feel too ooky to look at dry toast" KateP of a few weeks ago.

Because books.

Just look at Ted Bundy!
No delicious bacon egg cups for me. It's strictly bananas, ginger ale, and crackers today. Imagine my excitement.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ew. Cups with eggs.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, who hasn't felt at least one pang of attraction to a sociopath? Stop lying to yourself.
Well, they were mostly fictional. Mostly. (and I guess so was Gus! Ba-dum-bum. Not that I had a pang of attraction, or really knew him at all. Just don't like it when people mess with my friends)
-t wins! Because of the bacon. No one else's post had bacon.
I had a frustrating morning, so I bought a maple bacon biscuit at the coffee place around the corner. It was pretty nom.

Compassionately intolerant
Snuggling with sociopaths? er, um, huh?
No. no. No snuggling with sociopaths, though everyone else's points are well taken about the charming and such.
Realizing that I was expressing a willingness to snuggle with a jerk, for the sake of snuggling, caused me to say outloud, "Wait a minute. No I'm not!"
So, I've got that going for me.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Bah. They held a vote on the holiday party and it's going to be somewhere I don't like. It's a place that does buffet lunches almost exclusively, so the food isn't very good (although you can eat as much as you like!) and it's loud and you have to stand in line a lot instead of chatting with your coworkers. Also, I don't think there's a bar.
The last two years we had a very nice lunch in a new place on the lake, in our own room, with excellent food. Now we're back to buffet-style and I am disgruntled.

Because books.
ita can have her bacon cups with strictly cheese. Perkins is ... going to be cupless. Unless you can do that with sausage.
Ugh. I really don't want to talk about food, it turns out.
Also, msbelle, insent.
