I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, msbelle!

Good luck, meara!

That's classic, Gud. Thank goodness for the Gap!

I have to write performance reviews, and I don't wanna. They are both going to be so good! It's just a PITA and can't I just say, "You're great; carry on"??

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

You guys, I need to be super mean for a bit.

I've gotten roped into going to this wedding this weekend, and it is going to be a train wreck of epic proportions. The groom is someone I like enormously. The bride I don't really know but she is a nice person - and just trashy as hell. From top to bottom this thing is going to be insane.

They actually got married in the spring, but now are doing a full on white dress, catholic church thing. S, the bride, is a fan of uber tanning, enormous amounts of makeup, huge blond extensions(and she's a hair-stylist!) and Kardashianesque fashion. She's been going full tilt at the tanning this month, so expect a raccoon-eyed Oompa Looompa in spandex and tulle.

The music - her three cousins are all singing, and none of them have made time to meet with or even talk to the pianist who will be accompanying them. The pianist himself has not practiced or even familiarized himself with the music yet - "we'll figure it out at the rehearsal".

Her sister, who is maid of honor, will walk in with the usual processional music, and then will step out of line to sing the music that S walks in to: Kissing You from Romeo + Juliet. They have not yet discussed the fact that to get through that song S will need a quarter mile of runway to walk.

Even the invitations - a ghastly mint green and old-lady floral, with unreadable font that still didn't entirely disguise the spelling errors.

I can't even imagine the fashion disasters that will be on display, considering S's friends in their big hair and spandex, but I expect plenty of buttcracks and boobs on display.

The groom's friends, most coming over from Manchester, including his white rapper sister who could be out of an Ali G sketch, and all the lads, can probably be counted on for a fight or two. Good thing he owns the bar where the reception will be.

I just can't even with this wedding. I'm going to have to botox or something to not laugh my ass off through the whole thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That sounds chavtastic, Brenda!

THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

Man, the only hilarious wedding I've ever been to was a coworker's, and only because the groom's family apparently had no idea what one wears to a wedding in the US, and didn't come to consensus -- some were in formal wear, some were in the tightest jeans I've ever seen.

The status is NOT quo.

Brenda, that's amazing.

Gud, utterly classic.

Meara, so much interview-ma!

Wow, brenda.

Work Internet is paid and back up. I was lucky to have something to fill the gap.

Good luck, Meara.

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

Brenda, you need to wear a hidden camera so you can get a video of the thing.
