They probably just wanted to talk without you there because they're working on a surprise show about how awesome you are.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
The only recurring dreams I can recall are being chased off a cliff by some shadowy figure, and I haven't had one of those in quite some time. I used to jump while sleeping so I'd wake up from the fall rebounding off my mattress.

Another day, another application to the U of WI, Madison. Le sigh. I'm kind of glad I'm keeping a spreadsheet of my applications, because I can look back and see that I'm getting interviews on roughly 10% of them, which I've been led to believe isn't bad. I'd still like to move on to the actual job-having stage of the process, though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
bt made me chortle.
btw speaking of "chortle," Franny is busy memorizing "Jabberwocky" and I get the fun of helping her rehearse.
These dreams feel anxious when I'm in them, but they tend to end happily.
Even in your nightmares you remain optimistic. I want to be Scrappy when I grow up.

I used to be able to do all of Jabberwocky. "Come to my arms, my beamish boy!" "He left it dead, and with its head he went galumphing back."
My workplace's web site has a rotating ad about a program to come in for help applying for housing vouchers from the Metropolitan Housing Authority. The wizards in marketing chose to illustrate with an image of a perfectly gorgeous two-story Craftsman house. In reality of course the program is for very low income people who will be in tiny box-like apartments built in 1978.
