I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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

Yeah, but the thing is you *have* to prepare for the winter, every fucking year. The thought makes me want to cry.

Oh, believe me, I don't want to live in blizzard country either. But if my house were hit by a tornado twice in two years, I'd be seriously considering moving somewhere with the kind of natural disasters I could hunker down and survive with my possessions intact.

Actually, that's one reason I like living here. We don't get so much in the way of natural disasters: we had a blizzard a couple years ago but winters are normally mild; we had a tiny freak earthquake last year; and every couple summers there's a tiny tornado that blows some shit around. Summers are hot and humid, which sucks, but is less disaster than inconvenience.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think March is late enough that I can say that without jinxing it)

Well, crap. Now we're gonna get a late March blizzard, aren't we????

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Plei, they make those dildos you were wondering about. Just holler if you want more information, and DON'T ASK why I know.

Because books.

I probably don't want to know what kind of dildos, do I?

Now we're gonna get a late March blizzard, aren't we????

Junior year of high school, a friend and I were laying out in her backyard the last weekend of March, 70 degrees and sunny, and we got a blizzard that closed school the following week. On my birthday, no less, in April.

Winter is sometimes tricksy.

Yes it is. We had a bad blizzard one April when we lived in Denver. If we get one now, I'm totally blaming Debet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think, at that point, it's a freak Spring Blizzard, and does not count as winter.

t shouts to Universe It wouldn't count. It's too late already.

I like winter. Not hat ive had much time to test that this year.

Middling success with the Top Chef caliber raw dog food. She is eating it from the bowl; gingerly and with many back and forths. But if I turn my back for a second she is standing behind be whimpering and the cat is firmly ensconced at the bowl.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I probably don't want to know what kind of dildos, do I?

I must admit I am curious, but I suspect I'll regret it.

Because books.

Burrell, let's hold hands and wait out the urge. I think we'll both be happier.

But if I turn my back for a second she is standing behind be whimpering and the cat is firmly ensconced at the bowl.

Can you shut the cat in the bathroom or something while Darby is eating?

Right there with you.
