We had a Guy Fawkes party in uni where we asked people to bring something to fling upon our bonfire, and most people were suitably metaphorical in what they wanted to burn. But Marc brought a full sized dummy (who we named Sven and moved into our living room), and Kevin brought a chair ("Does he know what Guy Fawkes is?" "He knows *everything*, he must know this...") which we also kept for a while. I burnt letters from a creepy stalker guy, even if I had to print them out (and therefore hadn't digitally disposed of them) to do so.

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

When I did theater lighting we would have a ritual burning of the cue sheets after the show was struck. And cheap ass champagne. For anyone who knows Berkeley, we typically did this in the fountain at Provo Park, next to Berkeley High.

I don't know which is worse, Strix, being a plagiarist, or actually plotting your way into Reader's Digest(What? Skymall got standards?) At least fake your way into The New Yorker, or The Atlantic.

I can't figure out what he would submit it for? College Humor? Unless it was student bloopers (which I find hysterical. I will never forget "Magellan circumcised the earth in a 100 foot clipper")

OK, made a hair appointment (if I'm going to be interviewing I need to color my hair again), lined up my climbing partner to climb tonight. Applied for a couple of jobs, sent a bunch of email.
That's a start.

That was the best part, erika! READERS FUCKING DIGEST?! It just completely speaks to the man as a whole...
Sophia, he taught comp courses and would yank personal stories and such and submit them as happening to him. It was a long time ago; I don't know more.
Hair appointment = YAY. Good move, Consuela. I am always cheered by a salon visit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I got my face shaved, and it was fun! I was surprised that it took longer than the haircut. Also, he shaved the side and back of my neck, which never gets shaved. I was quite relaxed during it, and I joked about almost falling asleep. He told me he has had customers fall asleep during a shave.

Because books.
That's a start.
Now, cake. It's always helpful.

That sounds so cool, and yet I'm not sure I'd want someone else shaving my legs...

Well, there are far more corners on one's face and neck than there are on one's legs, so I'd think legs would be easier.
Anyway, I've seen a barber shaving people in movies so many times I feel like I accomplished some life-long goal here.

I saw? heard? (I don't remember the medium) a human interest story about a barber shop that started offering a leg shaving service to women a while back. I forget the details. I might go for that, actually, just because I am pretty bad about missing spots and it could be pretty luxurious - the whole beard shaving routine seems pretty nice.
I understand why you are coloring your hair, Consuela, but it's kid of a shame. Your natural color is so pretty.
