You guys! It's national grilled cheese month!
Don't worry, lisah's got it covered.
Also, I did have a grilled cheese for lunch.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, and I had a cheese on toast sandwich that I explicitly thought "it's not grilled cheese but it's good on it's own merits" about, but now it's thematically off message for the month. Good thing the month isn't over.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My mom's most annoying habit by far is asking around stuff. Instead of coming right out and saying "Will you do the dishes?" It's 15 minutes of questions about who ate last, when the dishwasher was last emptied and who did that, whether you plan on leaving the house and leaving dishes in the sink.
My mother does that, too. I think it's some combination of generational and a gender thing -- girls were taught not to be demanding, so they end up finding these ridiculous ways to ask for what they want without actually asking for it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry for your loss, Gud.
I don't wear perfume, though I do like scented shower gel. I tend to go for fruity/sweet scents. Yeah, I like stuff that smells like dessert. :) Most of the scent washes down the drain, so I'm not bothering others or myself with it.(I switched to unscented deodorant when I couldn't take the scent wafting up at me all day)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Baby powder! I can handle that scent in moderation. It's my deodorant of choice.

Oh, lord, Demeter actually has a fragrance called Funeral Home. I would go mad.
But Dirt looks interesting. They don't have Bergamot, though.

My mom use to do something like the ask around thing, too. "Are you thirsty?" "Not really." "No? There's some of that soda you like in the fridge. We bought it just for you."
I knew what was coming, but what could you do? "Thanks, Mom. I'll go get a glass of it."
"Oh, while you're up could you get me some, too? And a ham sandwich? And maybe a lime yogurt?Since you're up and all."
"Sure, Mom."

Heh.
I lived in a house with seven people in university, and there would be like five of us sitting around on our enormous L couch all going on about "man, I could use some coffee, wouldn't coffee be great about now?" for a good twenty minutes until finally someone broke.
In our defense, the obnoxiousness was clear and deliberate.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My Dad's enormous family was notorious for a barrage of "while you're up"s when someone was foolish enough to pee or get a glass of water.
We used to joke we should keep a waitress tray in the kitchen.
