Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

WTF? YES.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So, if a painter was working in your house while you were not home, and went in your cupboard and drank a can of tomato juice, and didn't leave a note, would you be freaked out?

I would be freaked out on many levels, not least being that apparently someone else is sneaking into my house and leaving tomato juice in the cupboard.

If you're talking about a single-serve size, I'd assume the painter meant to leave a note. I'd be pissed about the door, though.

Because books.

I wouldn't be freaked out, but I would be irritated. Leaving the door open is messed up, though, especially since you have the cats, which I assume he knows about.

I'd be pissed.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The tomato juice would have me going, "Huh. Well, whatever." The open door would have me shooting firebolts out of my eye sockets.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, it's inappropriate for workers to be getting into your pantry, let alone eating your food. But it's dangerous for them to be leaving the premises unsecured.

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

I'd be pissed, but I'm easy.

A co-worker almost made me say something dirty twice. And not just a little dirty, but telling dirty.

ME: "Well, I have to get you and Brian on the phone with me so we can discuss it properly"
HIM: "Not my ideal sort of threesome, but..." ME: [blink] [blink] [keeps mouth shut, because it's an intriguing sort of threesome]

Seriously! Who says that? At an office job? (Uh, that's not Amy or shrift's or all you other professional pervs)

And...he just called back and I used his threesome terminology back at him. Oy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Seriously! Who says that? At an office job?

That could only get more inappropriate if he also drank your tomato juice.

My tomato juice does bring all the boys to the yard.
