Damn, Hec that is so awful and scary. Much safety~ma for Emmett and his friends.
Yay, Amy! Congratulations!
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Hec, how awful! That's so frightening.
Scrappy, I don't think I ever said. I'm so sorry about your layoff. Much job ~ma to you.

Congrats, Amy!
Yikes, Hec! Very disturbing.
I totally missed the setup for the ten hundred words discussion yesterday, if that wasn't already obvious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maybe we should team up! And...be unemployable!
We should totally team up! And...um...write about being unemployable! And then proofread it!
The nasty truth is, I'm sick of editing. I no longer care about the Oxford comma, nor do I care if the sentences are elegant and concise. I'm still holding firm on correct spelling and subject/verb agreement, and sentences should totally have a period at the end, but that's about all the give-a-shit I've got left, anymore.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray, Amy! Burble away.
Hec, jeez. Scary, very scary.

Trust my rage
So, what is vertical writing? Because I still have no idea.
Also, that Hillary .gif was kick ass.
Also, Hec, yikes! Very disturbing!!

Man, Hec, that is awful! Also, I think of it as one of the "safer" BART stations: it's hardly West Oakland or Fruitvale (ironically the station I use the most frequently).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sweet cuppin' cakes, Hec, that's horrible and scary. I'm so glad the kids are (mostly) okay.

In other news, I'm having a hell of a day.
I'm an hour late to work because I spent some time on Facebook this morning.
My work computer is broken again.
And I was on FB this morning because I woke up to learn that an online friend of more than a decade died in her sleep this week. She was, at most, 37. (Dana, Shrift--if you hadn't heard, it was Sabine, from YV.)
Fuck this day.

Because books.
Oh, Consuela. I'm so sorry.
So, what is vertical writing? Because I still have no idea.
It's not vertical writing, really. A "vertical" is just a content area, as Jesse and Jessica said. It's a stupid buzzword, too!
