We are not cliches! We do not say aboot!
The nice young lady at the Epcot exhibit pronounced it aboat. It was very welcoming.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

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 feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just watched the end of the Colbert show. Sad now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh! That means White Collar finishes today too!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
(Although chocolate chess sounds like a sugar/fondant pie to me--I'm really all about the fruit. Not even pecan--full body shudder)
It was like a cross between a brownie and fudge on a crust. Although fruit pie is lovely, too. I have a Dean-like ecumenical approach to pie.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Between White Collar, Colbert, and Korra (I don't know, among just doesn't seem right there) I am wrung out. Waking up tomorrow morning will be a challenge.
That is massively unfair, Ginger. I hope you can get some relief from symptoms at least, some how.

Mm, now I want a brownie in a fudge crust. This diet hasn't actually been that hard, mostly because I'm barely leaving the house, but today I kept wanting to eat All the Things. Even though I'm not hungry. I'm blaming hormones.
Is Kat here, or anyone who can answer Hawaii questions? I am reading a fic with a lot of white people talking like native Hawaiians, and calling mainlanders haole. I thought all white people in Hawaii were haole, though. Is this a "brother from another mother" situation?
Ask Java--she is white and grew up in Hawaii, no?

She hasn't posted in Natter recently, but I hope she sees it.

The status is NOT quo.
You don't say "sore-y" either, right?
Ha! This is totally a thing. ND's parents both immigrated from Canada, and he has a lot of Canadianisms, including that one. Every time he says sorry it makes me giggle a little inside.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I had no idea the way I say borrow is considered Canadian until Nutty complained about Nathan Fillion doing it in Firefly. Then I could hear the difference, and couldn't say the word without feeling awkward for about six months.
I mean, like sorry, there's a fuckin' O in it, Americans.
AN O, I SAY.

Also, I didn't realize until I was writing Buffy fic how many turns of phrase I use on a regular basis, picked up from my parents and extended family, are not common down here. My betas would chide me for it on a semi-regular basis.
No flat A in pasta or Mazda though. Those ones make me cringe.
