you can survive work, Perkins.
You can do it.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Yeah, back in the day I consolidated to get a better rate, but the deal was you could only do it once.
Definitely check nonpaying the principal early. (I also did this with a bonus from work)
All your car stories are scaring me--mine is 10 years old and I don't want a car payment anytime soon! Still freaking out I have a house payment!!
Eta: vortex will know if I'm dead. Also one more reason to have a roommate, so someone would notice. And considering I check here and email approx 89 times a day, if I didn't answer for more than anday or so...

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You can totally do it, Perkins! When is Hawaii and delicious, relaxing vacation?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You can do it, Perkins! *\\o/* You can always come capslock in here.

Dark red towels that say "vampire", yep. Because I EMBRACE my cliché, dammit.
Jilli, these come in red
n the end, it was the pseudicide that did the most emotional damage. If he'd just faded away, it would have been kinder -- in response to the friendliness he'd been shown by this community, he repaid it with mean-spirited selfish stir-causing.
but isn't that the whole point? To see an outpouring of sympathy or anger regarding this fictional person? If the trickster doesn't see the effects of the trick, what's the point? (of course, one could argue what is the point of tricking in the first place?)
Eta: vortex will know if I'm dead.
and I will be very upset, for the record.
There are enough people that will know IRL so that it will eventually trickle to my online life. For example, Meara's and my friend N would let meara know and she would let you all know. And N would tell my other online group. As a backup Fred Pete is a member of both :)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I did not kill anyone today!!!
I was tempted.
If I snuff it, Jilli and Pete will know. As will Cass. And Cass and Jilli can fight over who gets to be my porn buddy.

Evil Boss Lady asked today if I had a second, then proceeded to apologize for her comment about knowing who said what to her coach. THEN proceeded to blame THAT on another employee "attacking" another coworker and making EBL flustered and throwing her off-script.
Honey, it's not an apology if you're laying the blame for your bad behaviour on another person. Also, the fact that you just admitted that you were speaking from a script takes away credence from what you supposedly *were* trying to say, and that your off-script out-of-line comment was therefore off-the-cuff and therefore more sincere. But I can actually let the latter pass, but the former is a sticking point.
No excuses, is what I was taught. It's not an apology if there's a "but" tacked on. Just fucking own it.

Honestly, Paul's FB friends with lots of you, so heck. You'd probably find out there
I have had four people at least on my LJ flist die. Two this year. Word gets around.
Fuck, I miss Branni and Sandy.
