'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I must say, I rather like Think as a noun and will work it into casual conversation ASAP.

Ooh, egg cream. I have the ingredients for one of those! Hello, breakfast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eggcorn is a fake/wrong etymology (?) for acorn, so became what they call it when people talk themselves into a reasonable-sounding but wrong explanation for a word.

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

Oh, ok! Like imagining Hendrix to be singing "Excuse me while I kiss this guy." (My favourite misheard song lyric is "There ain't no girl like the One-Eyed Gott.")

Apparently the NZ eventing team got arrested for drinking in a non-drinking area.

Wait, what part of London is a non-drinking area? I didn't realize that existed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am wearing a new dress today (this one [link] from the Land's End sale). happy making.

Am interviewing a potential new caregiver tonight. The house is a bit of a mess, but I did a quick clean-up of 2 areas this morning. I am hoping I can get home early enough to clean the litter out and do a quick mop of the entry way.

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

Like imagining Hendrix to be singing "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."

This one is a poor example, as my mother swears that Hendrix used to deliberately sing it that way at live shows and point to "this guy" in the audience to make it clear.

(Besides, "The ants are my friends / they're blowing in the wind" is much funnier.)

Cute dress, msbelle!

"Wake up to find out that you are the size of a squirrel" is my favorite mondegreen.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My grandmother used to sing, "Crock of angels, left of me".
