I generally use "we" when I'm dealing with a partner company and want to avoid saying "YOU people are a bunch of fuckups." See also: passive voice!
In short, I would like to be independently wealthy, starting now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, I feel that. It just grates so much more coming from alleged managers who do jackshit but try to fob responsibility off on us or take our credit.

Oh don't get me wrong - I die a little inside every time I hear myself doing it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have definitely heard myself say things like, "OK, what we need to do is -- no, I'm sorry, what I mean is, Would you...."

I'm toying with the idea of applying for an NEH grant. About a library project thing. Am I crazy?

You are if you might be about to move abroad.

Good lord, a huge raven just landed on my back porch rail. He actually made a thump when he landed.
Tell it to come visit me! I will give it snacks!
Pete uses a vanilla-scented shower gel. I use whatever whatever chocolate/vanilla/frosted sugarbomb bathing goo I've recently found. And I may have recently found my One True Cocoa Scent, because I am supposed to smell like a box of freshly-frosted chocolate cupcakes. Even when I'm covered in stage blood.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I use citrus or vanilla shower gel *or* almond soap, and then unscented lotion that I've added essential oils to. I can't wear or even be around most perfumes, so any scent on me will be very subtle. Except the coconut oil hair product. I'd forgotten about that. Again, though, you'll only smell it if I'm near enough to hug.

I try to be careful about how much scent I put on, because if I don't think about it, I will put on the pink frosted chocolate cupcake -scented body butter, and two or three different types of chocolate perfume oil. I have to remember that other people may not want to smell the bakery explosion.
