We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"Have a think" is a perfectly cromulent UK turn of phrase. Like "have a drink" or "have a wank."

you are still very cute, wrongheadedly cute.

Uh huh. And Jesus hit his head on an eggcorn while riding a dinosaur. Look, I say "I'm-unna go to the store" but I know that what I'm really saying is "I'm going to the store." It's phonetics, yo.

And Hec, don't even front like you are always a populist descriptivist, or I will rehash an old semantic argument and we will ALL REGRET IT.

I've got the OED, Cosby, Word Detective, and books since the 19th century on my side. Y'all have Rob Halford and many people on the internet who also probably say "LOLOLOL" with no trace of irony.

(I'm not really this het up. But I am really going to bed. Swears.)

Kate! House! How fabulous!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know who Halford is, and I don't' care if you tell me, I will still not know.

Hec, feel free to ignore fleas ngram research--I however, do recognise relative authority, and also PEOPLE WHO MADE A MISTAKE THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT. That's not actually a good reason for anything much beyond "apron". I mean, there's still time to get back on course--you don't have to go down with the ship--you can be saved. COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.

Huh. For some reason that Rolo ad made me think of foreskins. I don't know if that's on me or that's on them.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Adorable, house Kate. I have severe house envy.

I was at an advisory board meeting for the writing project (yay!) and I got a phone call from my dentist's office seeing if I could come in tomorrow at 10:10.

Um. No. I realize I need two more cleaning visits, but just no. Plus I have an ob-gyn appointment. I told J, the woman who does the scheduling that I would rather go see the gynecologist than have my teeth cleaned (true fact, my OB saved my life!)

But my dentist IS coming to my birthday party....

Anyhow, this is the week of unpleasant appointments.

I just realized birthday party is in about a week. What am I thinking? Then again, it will be a smallish affair with lots of white and black (red drinks though!).

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

I echo smonster and ita ! above.

MONDEGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Skuse me while I kiss this guy. There's a bathroom on the right. Bomb Iran.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, hey, full moon. Pretty.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's not a play on words; it's a threat! Threats have way more teeth when they're grammatical!

What? It's way more of a threat the wrong way.

Also, why are we still talking about this? Oh right, because there's no rest for the wearywicked.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Because he’s Rob Fucking Halford, that’s why.
