Oh, shrift, what about the job interview at Playboy? Or have you already broken out that story?

I literally just told that to one of my newbies in the last week, otherwise I would have used that. I decided to go with one very boring fact (I've never had a dental cavity) and that I like to try climbing volcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

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

Timelies all!

Never had to do the two-truths-and-a-lie thing. Not that I have a lot of odd-but-true things to use...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My truths are usually the walking home after falling off the face of a cliff, and walking across the top of a waterfall in February.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Mine depend on the audience. Do I go with "ER diagnosis of 'traumatic amputation'" or "held Itzhak Perlman's Stradivarius in my hands"?

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

That's why I can never be on Jeopardy! I don't have any interesting anecdotes (that are safe for a general audience).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You coined the word slounge?

Hey now! I coined that word to describe shrift!

Attempting to work from home, around the Pumpkin, waiting for a contractor to show up to scope several projects. None exciting unless no leaks is exciting. Which it is to me.

Also, my brain already hurts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, hands up if you made a stupid mistake (although only about 80% my fault) resulting in a lot of unnecessary piddly work that you now have to fix!

This has not been my week. Back doctor at 12:45, so wish me no back cancer or whatever.

Back~ma, Dana, and boy have I done that.

Can I wish your incipient back cancer on other people instead?
