Thursdays are a lot more awesome since I started telecommuting on Fridays.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know it would make for very bad Spanish, but I totally saw a "su" before "primera vez" and that was not a pleasant shiver that went through my body.

Half of my Thursdays are Fridays, which makes the other half of my Thursdays kind of suck by comparison.

That Batman story was great. I liked the author's understated telling of the tale. And Lenny B. Robinson sounds like a fab guy.
The men in high heels story, also great. And this made laugh out loud:
...two best friends, Coy Barton, 24, and Mark Cramer, 25, who go out together as a duo dubbed Coma...
Why did I never think of partnering up with a bestie and going out as a titled duo when I was in my twenties? That would have been good times. I would have named us Fugue State.

We were a titled quartet. We were titled "Oh, them."

I was part of a threesome called the "Diego Desperados." And, yes, that was a threesome in all its meanings.

Because books.
I was part of a duo everyone called Frick and Frack.

See, I admire the intentional self naming there. Of a designated groups or pairings.
I did get "Jen and those guys," once and it was so funny and true in that moment and overheard by enough of "those guys" that it's still a running joke (our FB private little buddy group is titled "...and those guys."), but I had no agency there. It's just not the same. Missed opportunities, man.
I am Jen; this is Betty. Together, we are Fugue State. Dammit!

I was being flip, but we were a named group. With superpowers: [link] That was kinda fun. Although I'm sure we were "oh, them" to many people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We were Castle Chaos. Started out a quartet, ended up a threesome (in that sense, yes). Originally our friends just named our house, but the they started announcing us when we arrived somewhere. "Castle Chaos is here!"
