I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
She is not. You take that back.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
No way.

That's awful, Brenda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Sox.
My mother gave me a ride to the T, but it was raining even harder when I got out! Luckily, I live one block from the station.
In my head, I'm totally walking to and from my parents', but it was too hot earlier and too raining just now.

Holy crap, I forgot how fast a gas stove heats up and cools down, after 2.5 years with electric.

Because books.
I miss a gas stove so much. We have one of the electric ones with the flat top, and I hate it.
We had a big thunderstorm with lightning and wind, and we're the only people on the block with power now. For some reason, we're the only house attached to another grid (the one behind us). It's been about three hours now, and I'm beginning to feel guilty about the lights when every other house is still dark.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Funny, seems I'm the only person who prefers electric to gas stoves. Gas makes me nervous.

Oh, gas makes me nervous, too. Stephen totally blew off his eyebrows and eyelashes once relighting the pilot in our really old (think actual vintage 1944) stove. But there's nothing like it for cooking. Adjusting the heat of a burner is impossible with electric.
