Those Malkovich Siri ads are meant to be creepy, right?
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, I just posted my kindergarden report cards, so my last name is out there.
Thomas is quite an unusual little student. He does a great deal of thinking and seems to be concerned about things way beyond the scope of a five year old. He is a very intelligent little boy & does very good work.
And a different card:
Thomas is quite a remarkable little student. He doesn't make a "big noise" but we all know he is here. He is most self sufficient and able to solve his ??? problems. Thomas ??? in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.
Scary how well those evaluations describe me.
If anyone could help me read the words I can't figure out, that would be great.

but I actually have a lot of trouble with its and it's because I just remember that there is something wrong with them.
That sorta' describes me, but I just hate being wrong so I put extra thought into selecting the right one. The way I remember is that its is a possessive pronoun like his or theirs, and it's is therefore the contraction of "it is."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He is most self sufficient and able to solve his [own] problems. Thomas [ranked] in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I need to see these Malkovich ads. I think creepy is a hobby for him.
I see all kinds of stuff in fic especially
Oh, the homonyms. I see peek/peak confusion a lot. And words that aren't quite homonyms, but close enough to make me wonder if the writer is using voice recognition software and not really editing.
I once read the term "gestational fortitude" instead of "intestinal fortitude" in a fanfic
That stuff is the best. Too damn funny.

Now tagless for your comfort.
In crazy family news, my cousin, who is four years younger than me (37) is now a grandmother. She was a mom at 16. Five kids. *shudder*

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've seen "taken for granite" too many times.
