Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

brenda, that's quite a success!

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

That's lovely, sarameg.

Oh, cool, I want one of those. Where do you get them?

Think Geek has one. Just to counter the sporty suggestion.

So my upstairs neighbor just woke me up complaining about tv volume. My tv has been off since midnight but he refuses to believe that the Bravo infomercial bothering him is not coming from my apartment. Dude, I don't even have cable. What incentive would I have to lie? If it's me, I apologize and turn it down so you go away instead of arguing in my doorway while I freeze my bare legs off.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Do you have a long broomstick? I feel like some random ceiling banging is in order.

Zen, thanks. It's a big thing for me to shrug off the avoidance and not be looking for the exit.

ION, I just fell asleep - okay just woke up - in the enormous bathtub. Still warm after two hours. I considered getting my pillow and mask and getting back in.

[I'm going on the theory that if you're not super drunk, which I'm not, or doing drugs, ditto, you'll wake up if you go under. But also my feet are enormous raisins so I will go to regular bed.]

Please don't drown, brenda!

I slept in! Until 5:30. I don't think that counts.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I woke up 5ish and just couldn't get back to sleep. Allover aches. Once I get some food inside me, I'll take some ibuprofen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good job, brenda! With the networking and also not drowning.

Our big family fight since my grandmother's death is that my uncle refuses to take any of the (modest amount of) money. My mother and aunt were joking about suing him. To take the money!

Oh no! I'm afraid I have a pre-cold.

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

I don't know what that means.

Go brenda! Networking and napping in the tub, both impressive!

So weird and annoying, aurelia. I hope he is embarrassed for making a fuss at the wrong person, even if he couldn't bring himself to back down to your face.
