Sean, I marked your post about the sound of gunfire, because it's such a perfect throw-away bit to show the blase nature of someone from a tough neighborhood. Now I need to find the story to put it in.
Excellent!
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Haven't I tried to pick a fight with you guys yet this morning? Have I not been trying hard enough? Let me see...pictures on plates are dumb! Does that help?
Some stranger on tumblr just asked if ita was really my name. I shouldn't be answering that shit, but since it's only just now occurred to me to ask my parents which one of them made it up, I figured I'd go ahead and satisfy his curiosity.
I do not expect my parents to remember, though. It's not the sort of thing they keep track of. Basically nothing to do with our childhood is the sort of thing they keep track of. I think they were just waiting for us to be able to earn a paycheque, and up until that was a blur. Which, in my sister's case--almost 30 years.
I spent an hour on the phone home, mostly telling my mother about the work meltdown. She seems to think there's any position in corporate America where I won't answer to anyone, but I also won't manage anyone and it fits my skill set. I don't know why she keeps believing this. But she wants to fix shit, and is now pretty convinced my boss is insane and someone has to be sleeping with someone. Which...just so worlds of no.

So, this Excedrin thing -- is it just the Migraine designation that they stopped? Because that had the same ingredients as the regular old Extra Strength Excedrin. That's still out there, right? I ask because it is what I use.
[ETA:] Huh. Kinda looks like. But the CVS brand has the same active ingredients and formulation, so there you go.

"Beetlejuice" is on ABC Family right now.
Self, you own it on DVD and BluRay. You do not need to turn the tv on.

Hey, at least it's a good movie. Tumblr told me earlier than My Bloody Valentine was on, and I actually watched the end.

I think Jilli was trying to justify not turning the tv on.

Oh, I know. But if she did, at least she wouldn't have to be ashamed of herself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My day turned out to be so nice! I think every member of my family was tired and possibly cranky when we got started, but then we had the traditional ham salad lunch, and went to the beach, and it was lovely! Hung out in the water, talked to everyone, didn't talk some, then went back to the house for cake and etc. Happy birthday to my grandmother! I forgot a card, though, so I have to get one tomorrow and mail it.
