C'mon Baby!!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That Hello video is fantastic.
Sophia, that article is so validating. I decided a while back that my body must just need to get rid of a bunch of tears for some reason periodically and will manufacture reasons for me to cry if I don't have any. Helps my sanity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
By my calculation, I met JAR ten or so years ago. I will never dis my sister's choice of academia, because that was totally why I could give him a history lesson on the spot (my grandfathers went to Panama to dig the canal--unlike JAR's, they returned to Jamaica), and why I was able to get my hands on a rare book on a topic no one pays attention to.
Well, of course it was really my scintillating company...but, seriously, he was really really nice and we talked a lot. Everyone else was either tired or Charisma Carpenter.
Tim asked for you at NYE dinner, ita.
Well, you know, if he invited me for dinner, I could just tell him myself. Just sayin'.

Hey, question for the hivemind: my mom wants to get second piercings in her ears. Is there a better option than just going to the mall to get that done?

Body piercing-type places, if she's willing to go there. Those are the better piercers, I guess, but the place may be off-putting, depending on your mother.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Weekend and workday fail: I didn't realize that I had forgotten to take my prescription sleeping aids until 2:00 in the morning. I took them but 3 hours of sleep wasn't enough to be able to face a 70 round trip commute on a day with snow, sleet and wind. So, I called in sick.
Weekend fail must have been the same thing because I didn't sleep at all Saturday night so Sunday was a complete waste of a day.
Now I have an earache and I don't know if it's on the inside or on the outside. I get why babies and toddlers cry a lot with these.

Ha! But also, wait, Daisy Jane is pregnant?? Woot! And Stephanie, YAY for imminent baby!
ita !, omg, that is way too cool.
We just had a crazy heavy thunderstorm complete with bonus tornado siren. Exciting! Wait, no, I mean DO NOT WANT.

I'm with Jesse--I prefer body piercing places because they use a needle rather than a piercing gun, and because I like the captive bead hoops better than studs when it comes to keeping them clean for the month or two you have to leave them in.

I had most of my ear piercing at Claire's or their equivalent. I have one more ear piercing to get, and it's cartilage, so I definitely want to get it done with a needle. The previous two were with a gun--I was lucky with one, and not so lucky with the other. Definitely safer with a needle.
Someone in my previous meeting said that he wasn't able to do something because he didn't have the one ring that bound all the other rings. I was so stunned I wasn't able to call him out on his geekery. He's not even in IT! He's totally a normal person.
