Yay, Amy! At this rate, I predict world domination in two weeks.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, never having socialised with them, how was I supposed to know?
Yeah, that was really a comment on my own blinders. I met Charlie before she was known for IO9 (in fact it was right as Annalee was starting up IO9) and it was specifically as Annalee's lover. So that just always been the lens I've viewed them through.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go Amy! That's awesome!
Yay, Scrappy, that sounds wonderful!
And supportive cheering for Allyson: way to take care of yourself, I hope you get more help from the medical professionals soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, Amy! That is awesome.
And also awesome for you, Scrappy!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, not being as special as people who live in San Francisco, I am clearly compromised.
Suddenly I'm reminded of a friend of the family we had called...Francia? It was pronounced Fran-see-ya, anyway. And I would call her San Francisco in her birthday cards when I was 7 or 8 because I was too embarrassed to ask someone how the fuck her name was spelt. Because that's subtle.
Then again..Jamaicans. And, for instance, Marcia. Daphne we were okay with, but there's another woman's name escaping me, possibly Greek, that we just fucked the shit out of.
I just read about the Brazilian nightclub fire. I actually turned on live TV for ten minutes yesterday, and it was about whether or not J-Law's dress was malfunctioning, and does that make her Oscar chances better. There is no way I'm going to hear about tragedies like this on my own, clearly.

I just saw this NBC report on a Montreal doppleganger exhibit: [link] (#13!). My sister and I had a Montreal doppleganger, so clearly it's all about the location.

Wow, congrats Amy!
I can't even imagine getting a promotion on day 2, I'd still just be filling out paperwork and watching training videos. "I know this is sudden, but we can't help but notice the way you've been watching the hell out of those orientation courses."

Hey ita, did you see the floods? Apparently part of the reservoir gave way or something and people were being swept down Sherbrooke. [link]

Allyson, congrats on getting the group thing sorted.
Amy, go you! Quite the meteoric rise!
Scrappy, I'm so glad you're getting a chance to travel. I loved my brief visit to Amsterdam. Awesome museums.
