Aims, poke Colin in the ribs for me.
Yes, ma'am!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

The status is NOT quo.
Dear Guy Sitting Next to Me on the Plane:
No, thanks, I really don't want to see the YouTube clip of the racist comedien making fun of Asian accents. Really.
No Love, Me

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nobody on the plane should be subjecting anyone else to any comedy, even if it's Dave Chappelle guesting on Community. Not Sharing Time.
My sister's weekend has no dress code.
I wanted a dress code! Just once! For like, an hour!
She totally does not get a rush out of dressing up unless you make her do it, and then she only retroactively looks at herself and thinks she looked good. She very rarely sets out to look fly.
Uh, not that anyone's tried to look fly in the last ten years.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We kind of collect one-of-a-kind mugs. In NC potters are thick on the ground, and a hand-thrown, hand-glazed mug is a OOAK mini piece of art you can drink your chai latte from. So none of our mugs match--each other or anything else. And each is a little piece of handheld art. Dishes, eh. We have odds and ends from several four-place sets from Walmart, K-mart, Roses, Fred's, Target, and hand-me-downs. We can feed people, and I'll throw on a tablecloth to tie a color in all the pieces together. We have several place settings of matching glasses and flatware, but I like the random dishes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have a lot of random vintage and antique dishes I've picked up at flea markets because they were pretty, and a bunch that came form my grandma's house. Everyday dishes are a set of Corelle. Mugs are random, collected here and there. Everyday glasses are the Coca-cola glasses I collected from McDonald's. What? I like them.

We use the standard white IKEA plates, and though I initially bought them for price and convenience, I've grown to like their simplicity.

Thrive to spite them
I have Pfalzgraff Yorktowne plates that Mom got a garage sale. they are the same pattern dished we used growing up. Not the same dishes, because Mom lent the set to her sister - who promptly gave them away.

We have vintage Starburst pattern china. Most of which was a wedding present from The Nicest!

Hi, Helena!
I'm tempted by these old Corelle dishes. I want plain white dishes, but these are close to what we had growing up and they make me nostalgic. They come with not only teacups, but baking dishes!
I love mugs. More mugs are good. More mugs mean longer before I have to do dishes between coffees.

Hiya Helena!
I'm looking forward to moving, when I will get new dishes.
