Whatevs.
Aw, Spinderella, I love you too.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

The school is surrounded by gardens and gardening is a regular part of the curriculum. They just had a huge bond-funded grant to relandscape the entire school.
The mosaic murals all along the outside school walls are all about gardening and bugs.
If you ever fantasized how cool it would be to have an entire elementary school deeply, philosophically committed to Green issues - this is it. They've got live Praying Mantis in the computer lab.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Spinderella, I love you too.
She's my FAAAAAAAAAAAAVourite.
I can't believe I missed an 8am meeting this morning. FUCK. That was such craptastically unprofessional behaviour. I just did not think to check my schedule at wee-fuck AM this morning. But at least I had an idea of something important that should be done before the meeting, so there's a good reason to delay it. No good reason to waste two other people's time, though.

Mr. Flowersocks made me smile, which while not his intent, is a happy side effect. Sweet gesture.
Also, bees!

This shirt would be extra cool if you've got an impressive rack.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I mentioned that my feet were cold because I'd worn inadequate shoes. Well, about an hour before the market ended he showed up out of the blue with flowers and socks.
Awwwww. That is sweet! The socks are thoughtful, and the flowers keep it from feeling mom-ish.
You are receiving this email today to announce what we hope will be a long term relationship with City Bees.
Ugh! I know they're having problems with colony collapse disorder, but this would have given me nightmares as a kid. It's taken years of gardening to reach a sense of truce with the venomous beasties. My mom was deathly allergic to bee stings and, as they didn't know my status until I had an allergy panel done when I was 10, probably would have yanked me out of the school, even though—realistically speaking—the odds of me getting stung would have been minimal.

Ha! It took me a second, and then I saw the animation in on the side. Heh.
