It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Repeating what I just said on FB because shit gets lost there: GUYS, NO TAGGING ME INTO OR SHARING NSFW STUFF ON MY WALL!

Good god, that goes for me, too. I'm friends with most of Tim's family and a nun.

re: Antiques Roadshow: It's sad when people get a high valuation for something they like and they say "Oh, no" and look horrified and talk about they couldn't possibly keep it now. Maybe some of it is security fears, but I get the impression that they don't think they're allowed to own something valuable, like it's above their station. It was a lovely thing that made them happy, but then it becomes something "too grand" for them. The appraisers are always so happy when someone nods firmly and says "I'm still going to wear it/use it/have it out."

Ah, the British: an excited appraiser looking at a historically significant item: "It's going to take me a while to get over this. It's going to take a couple of bars of chocolate and a cup of tea."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can only say this here: one of my old coworkers (FB friend) got married today, and she looks like a model, and I can never get over how regular and dumpy her friends are! Including her husband! It always makes me like her better, because I am shallow in an opposite way.

Aw.

Is there somewhere on the internet a version of Smells Like Teen Spirit with cats Beijing for the vocals?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac is at Avengers with his friends. One of the friends bailed. I pre-bought tickets OBVIOUSLY. How rude is that? Really Really rude. I don't know if the parents just don't know what the kid has committed to, or if the kid is gone they assume they're where they are supposed to be, but he went to hang out with his girlfriend instead of where he said he would be.

I couldn't figure out a way to return just one ticket in the Fandango app, so I gave it to a young woman I saw come in alone looking at show times.

That was nice of you msbelle. Super rude of the kid, obviously.

Msbelle better than my friend who bought tickets months ago for herself and her kid, and then he was like "nah I don't wanna go screw you"
