aurelia, I'm hoping you aren't on fire?
Sue, dining room and foyer do sound like key places, though...
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Firemen?
Yep.
I heard the sirens stop a little too close for comfort and then I heard many voices from the hallway so I got out of the bath to check it out. With just a bathtowel I was going to check the peephole but I smelled smoke before I got there and went back for my robe. Before I had the robe all the way on they were banging on my door. They don't knock subtly.
The hallway certainly smelled like smoke and they were banging on doors looking for the source. No flames were found and while they searched the smell faded a bit and seemed more like incense. So thankfully, no dripping wet and barely dressed evacuation for me.

And now that the firetrucks are gone I think I should finish bathing.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Quester, I made friends on Livejournal and dreamwidth with people that do it...if you like Keith Olbermann fics, my friends Lunaris and Sarken do it a lot. I'm also a member of a community on lj called Rahmbamarama...if you want to read about anyone in the leftish political world getting off with anyone else in the LPW, there it is. Also, archive of our own... I'm embarrassed to admit that Keith/ Rachel is a favorite. It's kind of...wrong. But, you know, tender angst. And quipping.

My house is back to front (thank you, postwar urban planning), so the foyer isn't used much by anyone but me. And other than the odd dinner party, the dining room is really only used by Clio and my parent's when they visit. The kitchen is the room that needs a good going over.
Nice beehive, -t. Keeping bees seems so cool. I wonder how they would feel about constant traffic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
At my last apartment, someone on my floor burned an empty coffee pot. Someone else called the fire department. They did that loud banging on the door thing, looking for the source. If no one answered a door, they'd pry the top part of the door open a few inches to see if that apartment was the source.
The guy who burned his coffee pot did not tell the firemen that he caused the smoke. Eventually they went away.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, aurelia! Glad it wasn't any worse. I hope your resumed bath is not interrupted.
People keep bees on rooftops in cities, Sue. Or so I hear. I don't think they mind traffic particularly, they fly higher than car level when they are not flower-to-flower.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The show Good Christian Bitches is now called Good Christian Belles. How disappointing.
SMG's show got picked up.
