Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Mistress - if I ever lose my mind and try to go for a doctorate, just smack me in the back of the head until I come to my senses please.
Ha ha! I feel this.

Hope the travel is going as well as it can today K!
I leave tomorrow, actually, which is really nice. It gives me a day to acclimate the housesitter, S., and pack, relax, etc.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Pix, your poor knee! I think you should tell people it was from trying out for roller derby.

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

Oh no, Pix! At least you got the kind of injury that multimillionaire athletes get.

You're probably going to notice some loss of lateral movement when you go to dunk in Lebron's face next season.

Also, while it's not as cool as "I fell down a volcano," rollerskating still counts as a good story.

"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

Certainly better than my "dramatically exited the movie theater and promptly tripped over a bike rack" ER story. Hope your recovery goes smoothly, Pix!

I love all these suggestions.

I would say I'd smack you upside the head, Jess, but, realistically, I'd probably pull my pom-poms out of retirement (I have no retired pom-poms, but...) and cheer you on relentlessly and annoyingly, so.

Bought my holiday cards today and plan to do them off and on for the rest of the day, with Christmas music playing and some eggnog and hot chocolate (separately).

I imagine the spiked egg nog fueled cards will be more entertaining, so here's hoping you all get some of those.

Definitely better than “tripped over a dog”

Thrive to spite them

YAY Jess

Pix I hope you get better.

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

Timelies all!

Sorry you hurt your knee, Pix.

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

Congrats, Jess!

Ouch, Pix. Traveling like that probably won't be much fun, but it'll be a good opportunity to market test variations on the story.
