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

Oh, that JA.

There are others? I mean, even outside my posts?

Shit, I even asked someone if I should watch The Voice this week, and then I forgot. I can't believe I missed my secret celebrity boyfriend (my sister's is Levine--she's getting a Team Adam shirt as brawta, and she just described him as "the most fun anyone could possibly have getting herpes"--yeah, we might need a decon bath, but I'd hit that too) and TALKING to boot.

Suzi, I don't even...that's one of those thing that if you think you're the one you can get away with it--you're not that special, get over it. Especially since you're not the one paying the penalty for a miss. In loco parentis indeed.

I think a day with penguins is a win day. And I'm not even billytea.

And I just remembered--penguins are on my list for that picture series that I'm rather aggressively not drawing right now. Tsk tsk.

I spent too long in Supernatural fandom: I still reflexively think JA is Jensen Ackles.

I'm cold. And I should be doing something. And it's hella windy outside.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I mostly see those initials on my own internal documents for work.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jesse, I hope they can find a good treatment for your father, I'm sure it's scary for all of you.

And Suzi, this is just one example? Ugh. Clearly inappropriate, and yet it may be hard to see the line until she stepped way over it, and then realized that she couldn't fix it easily. But her email to you is such CYA, I'd be infuriated.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

In talking with the counselor, I had used the bully word based on some other experiences with the teacher. Below she pulled the "I was bullied so I'd never do that" card. With an added extra "I'm sorry if".

I, myself, was bullied in elementary school when I didn't speak English and I know first handed how terrible that feeling is. I had no idea he felt this way and to think I put one of my students in that position makes me feel very regrettable. ([CJ], I am sorry if this example isolated or made you feel uncomfortable or hurt).

Her feelings of regret are probably genuine, but her belated feelings of regret doesn't let her off the hook.

Nope, it still says "I am sorry if" Try again, teacher. You'll get it eventually.

Ha. I spent too long as a Jamaican. That's never going to happen, even if Show gets to season 25 with him on.

I found this URL quite randomly last night, and had to click on it, because how can you not??? Next thing was to send it to Colin and ask him if I can come over and do it, but looks like his GF is going to beat me to that particular punch. I guess she's earned the right, but it was my idea! Even if their scope falls short of where I'd go with it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

In professional theaters, when doing a 10 out of 12, do actors get into costume during those 10 hours or are they called in a half hour early in the morning and at dinner break( really making it 11 out of 12.

Sophia, on an equity contract the actors can't be called outside of the 10 of 12 time frame. If the day is noon-midnight then actors get into costume at noon and hit the stage at 12:30. Getting out of costume, however, is not factored in.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks aurelia! That was what I thought. We are a university, but they try to go by equity rules sometimes, and the one annoying director NEVER includes time to get into costumes. The guest directors never seem to have a problem with it.
