Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

and Lloyd Dobbler was that guy in High Fidelity

He also grew up to be the guy in Grosse Point Blank. Which is sorta the Gen X problem, right? Am I a pretentious loser or a sociopath?

(Sigh. I just realized which way I'd answer that question.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm a pretentious loser who wishes she was a sociopath.

But at least I'm self-aware!

You made me laugh.

Me? I'm just a pretentious loser. Ah well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sociopath! But I would totally read a book about aging GenXers.

In related news, I have decided I like how I'm greying. I'm going to be very salt & pepper, because the grey is coming in all over the place. The SO is also greying attractively, but you can't tell, because the bits he shaves off for his mohawk are the grey bits.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Seen on Tumblr: butterscotch candy bar brownie tart. I don't even know how to imagine what that tastes like except DENTIST.

Ooooh. I am not following the Tumblrs that show me things like that, apparently.

Tumblr makes me want to shave the sides of my head and have a big, teased deathhawk, put on more eyeliner, play with faux blood, and buy more Monster High toys. So, Tumblr is kind of my id?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

You guys are making me uneasy, because I'm fairly confident I'm at least not pretentious.

Oh, I'm totally pretentious.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't think I'm particularly pretentious, nor am I a sociopath. I am kinda at the far end of GenX, anyhow...

Can I just complain about Oz, the cat. He keeps peeing in my foyer. On hardwood. Then he covers it up with papers, hats, shoes, whatever he can find, and I don't find it until much later. Mostly he's not ruined anything, (Or I've managed to save it,) except today I found a hiking sneaker completely soaked in cat pee. Sigh.

On top of that, the vet thinks Oz's bullying behaviour is why Clio is chewing the fur off her paws. They mostly get along, but when he's a jerk, he's a real asshole. I don't really know what to do to correct him...it's hard to catch him in the act. And 95% he's a pretty good cat. Which makes the 5% of incorrigibility hard to take.
