I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, as I was reminded today, at some point in the past 20 years, they changed the response to "The Lord be with you" is now "And with your spirit," instead of "And also with you." FYI.

I think it was fairly recent, since I remember hearing about it and being horrified. Not that I go to mass any more. But some things are tradition! At least since Vatican II!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The ones labelled "patio dress" look like house dresses to me, maybe with slightly more embellishment. That kind of makes sense to me.

I think that's "Peace be with you", Jesse, but that's a really old memory I'm accessing and trying to reverse engineer (I know I have the automatic "and also with you" response that is now defunct, but I'm not entirely certain what it is to, because those weren't my lines)

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

sara, I keep meaning to confirm, but are you coming for thanksgiving? If not, we're going out of town, perhaps.

Your call. If you'd like to go out of town, I can make other arrangements. I think I have enough brain back to make plans either way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's definitely when the priest says "The Lord be with you" -- possibly there's something specific you're supposed to say when passing the peace, but that's more ad hoc, IME.

I think it was fairly recent, since I remember hearing about it and being horrified.

Yeah, I think it was, too, but I know the last time I went to Mass with any regularity was 20 years ago, so.

I don't even remember hearing that line, but, probably more like 30 years for me, so I'll defer.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am pretty sure it changed between Christmas 2011 and Christmas 2012.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Heh. I could play the ignorant Protestant card and just go with "Thanks, you too!" and a big cheesy grin.

There should be a missel you can follow along with!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Is anyone else watching House Hunters right now? This woman looks like a Kristen Wiig character.

There's an Australia one with a Scottish woman who wants to be a model -- and is trying to pose seductively in every single shot. It's bananas. That one?

Can I just say, I love that Ylvis song like the next guy, but the reason it sounds so good is it's produced by the same people who produce number 1 singles for a living. It's not exactly a giant stroke of luck that this this caught fire and was made by the same producers of Firework and every Rihanna hit.
