Descriptivist unless it annoys me personally is a real thing, right?
Apparently, that would be me. Give it a pithy name!
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think of "whoa" as a synonym for "stop," or at least, "not so fast." "Woah" is more "system overloaded; does not compute" -- as others have pointed out, what Keanu says.
Not seeing why "whoa" can't mean both. It always has to me. It was used an expression of amazement before Bill & Ted, y'all.
Right there with you. I mean, isn't it basically another way of saying "Stop it!" in amazement? Which is a thing people say? (Or said.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got back last night. Had to go to work in the rain, though the traffic wasn't bad at all.(Might have been the 2 hour delay available.)

Contact was still anathema in my youth.
I'm using up most of my grammar rage these days on people who hyphenate -ly words. They're adverbs, people. That means they modify the adjective. The hyphen is for words that do not already scream "I'm modifying! I'm modifying the fuck out of this!"

I cannot picture what you are talking about, Ginger, and now I'm worried that I do that.

I was picturing "gent-ly stirred sauce" and was very confused.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
In case anyone was looking for something to watch on TV tonight, the CW is re-airing the first two episodes of Jane the Virgin tonight.

Apparently, I had put in today as a vacation day. Oof. So my angst about being sleep deprived and wanting to take today off and then dragging my sorry ass in were for naught. So I'm taking tomorrow off instead. Ugh. This is the week that I have to go in on Saturday to cover my boss.

I was just talking about Jane the Virgin with Dana the other day. I was making heart hands at it.
