My college had a yearbook, and my parents insisted I get photographed for it and bought me a copy my freshman year. This was in the early grunge period, and my parents were not best pleased to see me photographed in my favorite oversized flannel shirt. It was a head and shoulders shot—they would have been less pleased with the torn jeans I was also wearing at the time. A fact that didn't seem to cheer them up when I shared it with them. Anyway, there may have been more yearbooks, but not with me.

Oh my god, why is everything having to do with *waves hands* business such a pain in the ass?!? Like listening to people give presentations who are not good at giving presentations! And having to sit there while people negotiate who's sharing their screen and how long they have to talk and whether they should cover A or B.

Ugh, -t. Burn them with fire.
Metaphorically. I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or literally, why not?
No, I know why not.
Grrr! I hate them on your behalf, -t.

Don't curse the darkness - light a candle. Then hide it behind their drapes.

Get you a wheelbarrow, a holocaust cloak, and a tall friend to light on fire.
