There is stuff labeled "Vegetarian Oyster Sauce" that's made out of mushrooms. I don't know why they don't just call it mushroom sauce.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We have a mushroom sauce intended for veggies around the pantry somewhere. It's not bad. (I say this as a person with a deeply conflicted relationship towards mushrooms.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Anything called mushroom sauce should have cream in it.

Not if it's Chinese.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
If it's a wild thing, I trust you put it in the bed without any supper. According to Ryan's storybooks, it's standard operating procedure.
Hee.
Oh, man, Strix, tickets are about $165 for that weekend. ::whimpers::
I don't remember the Chick tract/American Psycho connection. I haven't read the book and I walked out of the movie during the chainsaw scene.
Went out to dinner with boss and Mr. Yin. We figured out why our first few window jobs didn't make money, so that's good. Hopefully my boss can take that info to our clients and have it make sense to them. And hopefully we can also figure out how to make these processes go faster.
Pooped after my late night last night. Crashing. Sis and I are both doing better today, thanks again.

What do other people do without buffistas?
Flail and cry.

Oh, that's not from American Psycho. I just think it would be funny as hell.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ditto. HA! Pretty sure that would be considered unprofessional.
Okay, if I slump over any further I'd be typing with my nose. Bed time it is.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When I think of oyster sauce, I think of the Chinese sauce, which is made out of oyster mushrooms, not oysters. Maybe that answers your confusion, Hil?

I love Steph's mind.
At a party recently, I don't know what I was doing -- I think it was (unintentionally) hitting myself in the head with the LED poi in a sad attempt to spin them -- but I was swearing and then generally grumbling by way of making fun of myself. And one of our friends said, "I love it when Steph is un-business-like!"
And I thought, my god, is that really how I come off? In my mind (see, that's the link to what I quoted from your post), I am a jackass and a goofball and HILARIOUS (although even in my own mind, I realize that 90% of what I think is funny is actually funny ONLY to me). It's weird to realize how people see me. I don't mean to be stiff and standoffish -- and I know that's not what my friend meant (at least, I'm assuming she didn't mean I was *only* stiff and standoffish) -- but I guess I am.
I think what I do is try to act "right" so that people won't flee, and I over-correct and come off a bit too stiff.
But I swear to god, in my own mind, I am COMEDY GOLD.
