Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

Does "take your breath away" mean you stopped breathing during your reaction? Because I held my breath at the end of this lip synch duel on the Jimmy Fallon show with Stephen Merchant and JGL.

I had almost forgotten that I'd given a care package of decorated Band Aids to the kids next door--I drew a picture of Captain BooBoo sailing through the air on a card and gave them two of everything from Superman to Hello Kitty (except bacon and devil ducks, because a) little kids and b) mezzuzah on their door).

This morning there's an envelope stuck to my door and each of them had drawn and signed a picture for me! I have kids pictures on my fridge for the first time ever (one's of a Band Aid--I have no idea about the colour drawing)! It's so sweet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm too used to being around you people. I made a Jane Eyre joke about the 300 sandwiches guy and no one laughed.

Y'all would have laughed, right?

not your mom's socks.

There are so very few women naval architects and marine engineers that the second-to-last place my sister worked, they had to re-write the staff handbook to include women.

It is still, in some places, bad luck for a woman to touch any moving part on a boat.

My sister has badassed her way through an amazing level of misogyny, stupidity, and comments she should wear a skirt more often.

She's an expert in carbon fiber, wings, and foils. And today, her team won a pretty big race. I'm so unbelievably proud of her. And I just needed to say it somewhere that wouldn't get her in trouble at work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tried a chocolate chai latte from Starbucks. Kinda underwhelmed. (Not enough chai)

Someone replied with:

Career man must sort through 300 pairs of jeans to find ones that perfectly fit his girlfriend to earn her marriage proposal

To which I replied:

"Reader, I married him!"

Wait, there are people who DON'T love a "Reader, I married him!" joke? I don't want to know those people.
