I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sophia, screaming fits over Russian Hogweed? I did not even know what that was.

I find us fascinating.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel like I need to create an Internet Tropes Wiki, and call pseudicide "Pulling a Fast Eddie."

If you do this I will buy you a cake.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia, screaming fits over Russian Hogweed? I did not even know what that was.

I was a nervous child, with a nervous mother, and my grandmother was prone to saying things like "Don't blow your nose to hard, or you will get a "mastoid" and you will have to shave your head and get an operation like your aunt gail", which resulted in me not learning to blow my nose until I was a teenager.

There was some of the Russian Hogweed growing in our town park, and some kids had made blow-guns from the stems, and were accidentally poisoned (but ended up being fine.

My grandmother told me not to go near it or I would get a rash in my throat, which would swell up and I would die.

You can see where this is going...

Heh. Yes, you should do that.

Oooh, or is there a semi-appropriate trope on TV Tropes that can be edited to included "pseudicide = pulling a Fast Eddie"? Because that would be even funnier.

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

The only real phobia I have is my face being under water or water falling on my face. I've never learned to swim because of it. I panic when water goes over my head, even if I know I'm in, like, 5 feet of water and I could just *stand up*. I don't even like raindrops falling on my face!

I'm ready for retirement. Seriously. What's the earliest I can retire? I can't stand this "corporate job" bullshit much longer.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Congratulations on the job, Sara!

Happy Birthday, JZ!

My current work project is somehow managing to both bore me to death and fill me with a hearty dislike for one of the parties.

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

You can see where this is going...

A fear of grandmothers, is my guess.

So much "productivity" software and "new paradigms for xxx" is being thrown at the walls lately that my ability to actually DO MY JOB is suffering.

I can't even find where meetings are being held, damnit.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What the hell? I just pulled out my root canal's temporary filling by flossing around that tooth. I feel like the Hulk. (Fortunately I have a dentist appointment in an hour, so I won't have a gaping hole in my tooth for very long.)
