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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, tomorrow I have a daylong job interview in which I will be talking to six separate people at this company. Yesterday I maybe could have handled it, when I was still in shock. Tonight, something finally cracked and now I can't stop crying. Let's hope tomorrow I can fake being an extrovert who isn't in mourning for seven or eight hours...
Strix, I have no words. FUCK this week sideways.
"Persephone, I went as far as to think the infinitive of the verb was "to misle". I didn't find out until university, at which point my sister realized she'd independently made the same mistake."
True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, shit, Strix. The fuck is wrong with the world?

“Not dead yet!”
Jesus H., Strix-- I saw your VagueBook and came here to see if you'd gone into more detail.
I am so, so, so sorry for you, honey.
And this week? Can go suck dead moose dick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Jessica. I wish you whatever you need to get through that day and land the job.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Happy to be in such good company.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, Strix. That is just egregious piling on.

I'm sorry, Strix.
Jessica, fingers crossed that you fake it until you make it tomorrow.
True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.
I think my first mangled pronunciation of a word I'd only read before was "ennui." Pretty sure it went something like "en-you-eye" because I didn't know its origin was with cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

I thought "awry" was pronounced "AW-ree," and that the word I heard people SAY every so often was "arigh."
