I guess they could be emphasis Pooh Capping? Sometimes it feels more like German.

This is honestly one of the better ones.

Both of my parents talk way differently from how they email. My mother especially, but I think they both regard the keyboard as a bit of an affront, even a full-sized one. For personal communication, that is. When they write letters to editors or papers or articles, then the punctuation and capitalisation appears.

Don't I deserve good things?

Shit, I need to buy my sister an e-book, to try and sell her on the concept. Don't know what she'd like that she doesn't have, but although she knows it's coming, I want the specifics to be a surprise.

Strix, you have all my sympathy. We're in the same boat, singing the same song, rolling the same fucking stone up the same hill, and it is tiresome as all hell.

We even have the promise of some relief soon - a totally unexpected windfall from the estate of a friend of a relative, which will be enough to halve our debts, fix everything on the car, and maybe get me a functioning laptop or repair the current 7-year-old one. But right now, until the unspecified date on which the windfall falls, we're crawling.

It's such a demoralizing way to live -- you feel stupid and incompetent and like a sponge, and of course the stress increases the chances of slip-ups like parking tickets for misreading a street-cleaning sign that'd either not happen at all if you were less stressed and more clear-headed, or would be a mere nothing to pay off and forget about in minutes if you had the funds. But, instead, it's a huge looming thing, and then your stress level goes up again, and the next stupid slip-up becomes all the more likely.

But, OTOH, yay work/study and free yoga!

Yep, back and forth, back and forth.

But I am THRILLED about your guys' windfall!

And the free yoga is an amazing gift. I was really bummed when I had my last class Sunday.

This is why I get so fucking exasperated at politicians who have zero, no, none empathy for people who live paycheck to paycheck. Yes, let's make sure that we all have disdain for poor & working class people who have no fucking cushion when life happens. But you have all your needs taken care of through family, marriage, or a rich donor.

This is why we need a commune.

I am sniffing glue.

No, seriously, I am.

They're replacing some carpet on my floor. I can smell the glue from halfway across the building.

And lo, I have a headache. Shocking. Better and better, this day.

The OC was 10 years ago. Everyone get your cane to shake at those damn kids.

My dash yesterday was full of "OMG, Seth Cohen is Stiles Stillinski!" and I was sad because a) I hadn't noticed and b) they're watching The OC for the first time now.

::stares wistfully at the S1 boxset on her shelf::

My boss called me to tell me to do Y, maybe, when I do X. I'm all "X is done, though. Check your email." Oh, oops?

Strix, JZ, Aims, I'll join you on that bench. It's exhausting to be constantly worried, and even more exhausting when you never know if you're going to have a job come the following day. The months when everything hits the fan unexpectedly -- like ... bed bugs! and expensive prescriptions! -- are terrifying.

The OC was so weird, because it was SO GOOD the first season (which is not that unusual) and then got steadily worse, but then somehow became a completely different show which I loved the 4th Season. I think I loved Ryan being funny. And New Caitlin. And no Marissa. And Taylor. And Summer rescuing bunnies!

I agree with you, Sophia. I think after the 2nd season I was OUT.
