Colin has dirtied my underwear metaphorically speaking. I like his girlfriend a lot, and came to be comfortable with her quickly, but we still technically haven't known each other long.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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

Because books.
She's a little upset and said, "It just seems so sudden." I said, "It's always sudden." Which is just true, in so many situations.
It really is.

Which is just true, in so many situations.
A good thing to be able to remember.
They are called commenters. They are on the internet. And no, they're not pretty.
I was not expecting that, and it is perfect.
My taxes are mailed, hooray! The post office was not a madhouse, at all.
I'm so glad I took tomorrow off, even if I am not going to the Seder that I ostensibly took it off for. Another night of Jell-o and obligatory matzo for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! But also! I was listening to the StoryCorps podcast, and they said that had a story that was a little too risque for the radio. I think those were his exact words, but it was definitely something like that. It was a 90-year-old woman and her 65-year-old son talking about his fuckbuddy! Using that term! That's more than just a little too much for the radio, don't you think??

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's very good news about the home, Jesse. I'm sorry it feels sudden, and I know how that feels, but it will be for the best.
Colin's girlfriend is a tax accountant.
Am I the only one who went to a Portlandia place with that one?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
It is already a two kitty night. Or a shared one human , if I judge things from the perspective of the toe lumps of fur trapping me to my bed. One on my chest with her paw in my face and the other on my pelvis. Bladder is good for a little while longer.

I did mean to say - I'm glad one of the places you like is ready to take him so soon.

Oh yeah, definitely. And even though the hospital is plenty nice, I can't help but hope a nursing home will, say, change his clothes more often....
