Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

And I swear to god, men use it way more than women (in my office, at least), but only women catch grief for it.

Agreed. Well, I don't know what goes on in your office.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Wikipedia suggests He-man and Teela were a couple. maybe. I have no memory of Teela.

Man at Arms' adopted daughter. Possibly the daughter of the Sorceress of Greyskull. She loved He-Man, but not Prince Adam, so their love was doomed.

You know what, I just might sign up to be my neighbor's ' school transport a couple days a week. Not just emergency. Because clearly, they've got an unreliable transporter for these days, I could just incorporate it into my schedule. Gotta think on it.For now I've been about exchanging kids helping with leaves and cats, but if it were regular, might have a more concrete exchange. Money or services.

At least I know which is the indulgent drop off lane and which is the express unemotional one.

Y'all, I can't make my annual joke about not having won a Macarthur fellowship this year because someone I knew in grad school - someone who sort of viewed me as a mentor at the time - won one today. And I know these are as much about lobbying and networking as genius, but I just can't even.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awesome, flea. I hope you take full credit.
