Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I kept my married name cause I didn't want to go back to signing my 14 letter/2 hyphen maiden name. Though, I think I can still forge my dad's signature. My current signature sometimes ends in a star. Too lazy to pick up the pen to go back and cross my t's.

This is what CJ did today.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have trouble signing my first name -- the w followed by an n is hard.

It's funny this came up because my colleague was comparing a bunch of signatures of the same person over a four-year period and was trying to argue that someone started forging it because he started dropping a terminal letter. We all made fun of him. It's common! They otherwise looked exactly alike! It's weird that he started doing that in his 60s, but still.

My dinner is salmon poached in orange juice with tarragon and something else. Nummy.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Connie! The package came today! And it is awesome! Did you have it in your house before sending it? Because Kato sniffed it thoroughly, and I was wondering if he was smelling the kitties.

Anyway -- and most importantly -- THANK YOU!

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

I think my signature may be more useless than most when it comes to validation. It's all about how soon I get bored or tired. It's all over the place, seventeen different sizes and angularity and number of letters in my surname. I doubt there's a pattern except at the most grand level, maybe decades.

A really interesting article on AVClub about the history of showrunners on TV.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

After college I traveled all over Europe on travelers checks.

One place made me sign one check 13 times -- I finally pulled out my other to prove to them that my signatures DO NOT Match. it usually consists of first initial, middle initial , last initial and then some lumps. Sometimes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

used to hate travellers checks as a cashier. I was like- I am a 15 year old making $3.35/hour, not a handwriting expert!

Because books.

I remember traveler's checks! I always hated them, too. And looking up credit card numbers in the little book that came once a month of stolen or bad numbers.

Oh, god--people who've used traveller''s cheques are old, aren't wethey?

Lord, I'm embarrassed to ask, but--who's the black guy in the class in Larry Crowne? I swear, they just named EVERYONE else in the cast but him, and the IMDB page is not giving any secrets away.
