I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ION, now that it is painfully cold out, my kitties decided that they need to be outside ALL THE TIME and I need to physically grab Ply to get her in at night. Yet, when I had to close my windows and it was still a balmy 40 or 50 degrees out, I couldn't get them out the door with a cattle prod.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Fire update: still burning.

They've torn it half down but it's still going.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Does anyone else think Jeremy Renner looks a lot like Kate Hudson in the picture on the far right?

SO VERY

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Dang, flights to the UK are super expensive.

Tell me about it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I left my fitbit at home by mistake today, so it thinks I walked under 400 steps today.

The sad part is that my main plans for the weekend revolve around a Community marathon, so I may not make much more than that tomorrow.

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

I just found a golden headline (the article's pretty odd too) while looking for an appropriate (maybe don't ask?) picture: Taleon Goffney, Twin Porn Star, Sentenced to 3 Years for "Spider Man" Burglaries.

It's a CBS News article from 2009--totally SFW. But, seriously--that boy's parents have got to be wondering what they did not do right.

Calli, me too. If they don't, well, I guess I better steel myself for the wheezing until it actually gets too much for her. In the meantime, I'm supposed to feed her half a soft scrambled egg a day to fatten her up. If I can convince her to eat eggs.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I told my mom that this was the first time in my life that I was glad that I am and have always been a bitch of a girl. She replied that she was thinking about it the other day, and agreed that he'd never have had a chance with the surly kid!me.

I know what you mean. We found out the doctor who took over my retiring family GP's practice when I was in middle school later went up the river for molesting teenage boys. SO glad I spotted him as a quack right off the bat and never bothered to conceal my contempt.

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

One of my mother's cousins was a serial abuser--for some reason the first generation never officially did anything. I hope they did at least warn other girls away from his lap, even if they weren't taking him out of circulation.

Huh. I thought this show just said "negative radiation". But it was "negative for radiation", so I live to nitpick another day.

Law student query: what's the minimum required to practice law? And what does "practice law" mean? Is there a threshold of legal device? Or representing someone in court? Claiming to be a lawyer and doing things based on representing yourself as such? Is the bar for the area the minimum, or is the degree required too? How transferable are degrees? If you read Law at Oxbridge, and cram for the NY bar, are you good?

If you had been pretending to, say, have a degree and maybe a bar pass, what are the avenues for redress, and what would be the official penalties for being a lying shithead (not so subtle lawyer jokes are being soundly ignored by me).
