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

Unfortunately, Stormageddon is taken.

It is? by whom?

A cat in a book i read 20-30 years was named Divine Indifference. I don't remember anything else about the book, but I thought that was the perfect name for a cat.

Someone in Doctor Who, I think.

"Parental Pants" would be a great band name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure my legal name is common-law legal? I mean, it's on every piece of paperwork other than my birth certificate.

You should, and that name should be 'Danger'.

I know people did that to their daughter for real for real.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Goddamnit, I just thought about the possibility that my hair extension clips might cause a problem with the MRI. And of course, no one is available today to answer a question.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Back in... 2000, I think? I ended up being refused a rental car I'd reserved for a visit to LA because my credit cards use my middle name rather than my first name (which appears on my license and insurance). Escalating to a manager didn't help, apparently they were worried that an imposter had robbed the guy whose credit card the reservation was made on and had a different first name but a last name the same as on the card.

I suppose I shouldn't have expected common sense from a company whose spokesperson was OJ Simpson.

While listening in on one meeting while in another (such is my life) I learned I won a team award. Wooo! No money this time, but the acknowledgement is nice. (This makes at least one indiv or team the last few years running, which is nice reassurance that I'm useful. These aren't participation awards.)

And now I'll go clean up and drink wine with neighbors.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Connie, the Doctor(who claims to speak Baby) said that another character's child wanted to be known as Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.

I have no idea how many pairs of pants my dad owns.

Congrats, sara!

The status is NOT quo.

Yay, Sara!

For the record, I had a hideous stress work dream last night also, so it must have been one of those nights.

Wonderful wine night, but with drama. Hostess's renter got mugged, so detectives and community assoc president joined us. And then the biggest dude insisted on walking those of us more than a couple blocks away home. We've definitely got a group of jerks preying on people lately; funnily enough, ran into a crew of dubious characters while walking home, called it in after they ghosted to big dude's "wassup?" and attempt to engage neighborly-like.

Hot tip:scatter when ppl are friendly in this hood? Not good. Even the people who don't trust bpd are gonna call.
