You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I managed to consume a mug of quail stock without spilling it. Also delicious.

Shrift, if you have a recent credit report, I would bring that too. Fill out a boilerplate rental application, if you can. And bring a checkbook, be ready to sign right away.

I am somewhat envious, but I know from past experience that what I like to think of as my usual clever repartee would turn into "That will give you bees."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Aww, bees. I was just thinking of "bees" the other day.

I do have a recent credit report that I'm bringing along with my checkbook.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Don't forget an arm and a leg too, and an affidavit pledging to sell your extra organs if necessary. Who needs two kidneys?

Some places are telling me to make a renter resume about myself. I barely could make myself create a resume to get a new job at a place where I already work, and they pay me to be there.

Maria, I totally thought of you! We are trying to find a place to stay in DC. One of the places we saw was in Brookland. I mean, it's been years since I've lived in DC, but I was like, "wait! all the way out there?!" I mean, it's by Catholic, right?

Anyway we ended up looking at places in LeDroit Park. When I still lived in DC that area was extreme sketch, but I guess it's all gentrified now. Weird.

Not that particular article, but things along those lines and now I want to set things on fire.
