I'm sure any story will bring in more crank calls, so I'm rather glad I'll be out of town at the beginning of next week.
My sister (14ish at the time) picked up a stalker when her cat went missing and she put posters up. This guy would call and keep claiming to have the cat and ask her to meet him places. He came over once, was creepy as all hell and wanted her to come with him to pick up the cat. Then the calls kept coming, always with weird excuses for why he hadn't brought her back or arranged for us to come get her yet. Collect from payphones a lot of the time, and neighbors kept seeing him hanging around. So fucked up. It was the first time I ever realized I actually had the capacity for lethal violence.
(And I still get worked up not just about him but the phone company, who claimed the only way to establish exactly where the calls were coming from was to accept the charges and wait for the bill.)
The cat in question is on my lap right now, for the record.
ETA: Jesus, she's old.
This morning a classmate of Owen's told me that she liked a story about a girl who kills vampires. The girl touched them with a magic stick and the vampires turned to dust.
I asked her if the girl's name was Buffy. She said yes and then she said one of the vampires was good. He had white hair and was named Spike.
I couldn't wipe the smile off my face all morning.
I was okay until this part:
she said one of the vampires was good. He had white hair and was named Spike.
So she's watching S...recent Buffy!
I think that last part might have been me.
Aw, Cash, that's great.
Just watched The Good Wife. Loved the ending. Loved a lot of moments, actually.
Liese, I loved this [link] .
We're having teenage rain. Tempestuous, prone to not following through, random alternating weepy and torrential with calm. Basically, unpredictable.
God, I need to get a new battery for this laptop. It'a goddamn flaky, and with Loki around, get unplugged too frequently (dies at 80%.)

You know, I love my new MBP, but I'm not crazy about the Magsafe power cord dealie. I think it comes unplugged from the laptop port WAY too easily. Or possibly I'm very flaily and Mr. Bean when I use the thing.
It's much better than the previous power cord, which came unplugged with a lot of difficulty, deforming itself in the process. It's why I'm on my second MacBook, primarily.
Yeah, I find it comes off easy, but I think the issue with my old laptop may be a powercord issue, so...
