It's kind of amazing that Sterling's story was written ~15 years ago.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Isn't it, though? That whole pay-it-forward element reminded me of Reddit's annual Secret Santa thing.

He's also the sort of guy who deliberately and pointed reads every word he can see on your screen, and will even flip idly through windows if you let him use your keyboard.
I have every confidence in your ability to condition him against doing that, ita. Use your superpower in the cause of Good!

I renewed my driver's license today and had the most shocking experience! It took all of 15 minutes from walking in the door, the picture is acceptable and looks like me, the MVA clerk was friendly and chatty and we talked about all sorts of stuff (where we were from, etc) while he processed everything. Yay Parkville MVA extension office!
I should say that this was also true of the one that used to be in Towson. Now the main city MVA that was in Mondawmin, now Reisterstown Rd....uhg.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn browser crash ate my post.
There's an article linked to from Jez to Deadspin about athletes and the women who'll do anything to sleep with them (real breaking news), and the post is full of first-time Deadspin posters saying "Oh, I'm kicking NBA players to the curb ALL DAY, you know how it is!"
And all I can think is "JOANNA GRABIEN¹ WOULD SCHOOL ALLA Y'ALLS ASSES". In fact, so would her mother.
¹: I know this is not actually her last name. Go with the flow?

My friend's flight now gets in at 1:15. I'm marketing at 8:30. BWI baggage claim is a slowass clusterfuck. Wish me....something.
