Note to Mycroft Cat: No running a shadow British government from your club, at least not if you expect to get medical attention for it.

Our cat Toke lives up to her name. (Well, no actual pot-smoking occurs, as far as we know [although we might need to start videotaping her during the day while we're at work, JUST TO BE SURE], but she acts stoned, including perpetual munchies, 24/7.)

Kato -- named after the Pink Panther character, but spelled differently for some reason -- does tend to ambush us unexpectedly, but has not yet run a brothel.

AS FAR AS WE KNOW.

Emmet has done better at Quinceneara than I have done at most of the F2Fs.

Same here.

Emmett has done better at the Q than I did during my entire teenage years. No lie.

Same here.

Emmett has done as well as I have during my entire life.

At least there I've got him beat. So far.

Emmet has done better at Quinceneara than I have done at most of the F2Fs.

Heh. Not I. Though it is better than I did in all my teenage years. I was not a make out bandit until my 20s.

If I were a vet, I would have a pet name disclaimers.

There's a reason Erzabet's full name is Erzabet-No-Biting.

Loki gave birth to Slepnir, an eight-legged horse that became the mount of Odin, as well as the first of the ogres. He also fathered Fenrir, the God-devouring wolf, Jormungandr, the Earth-encircling serpent, and Hel, the Queen of the Underworld.

Sleipnir's father was the stallion Svaðilfari. So my only question now is, was Loki a human woman or a mare when this tryst/pregnancy/birth occurred? I have been laughing helplessly for a solid ten minutes about this. I'm going to Hel.

Oh, wait! I found it. He was a mare. ahahaha No, seriously, did he get stuck in the mare form for the duration? Or did he change back and walk around as a man pregnant with a foal? This just get funnier the more I think about it.

Okay, I might be a tad drunk.

You know how you're convinced you're this total dork, and then you go to intense analysis for eleven years, and then you finally start to believe you're not a dork, but then you realize that you're in late middle age, and the best years of your life have completely passed you by?

Right.

Right.

Wrong. The best years of your life are the ones where you don't think you're a dork.

Also, you're cute and smart and funny and take great pictures and own your own place and have skills.

It's not like you're dilapidated and deliquescent, Tom.

Emmett doesn't think he's a dork because I made the mistake of filling him up with too much self esteem.

the best years of your life have completely passed you by?

No, they haven't, sugar. The best years are the ones where you like yourself. Youth and beauty are overrated. Anyway, you're still hot.

Oh, Tom, no. Yeah, that's time, and that time is gone, but there is time before you now, and you have that to use and use well. And you're not a total dork!

Oh, please! Honey, you are cute, smart, sweet and funny! Any person would be (and I count myself proud that I am) lucky to be your friend. And the woman who is more than that is even luckier
