I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have trouble wrapping my head around a preference against chocolate and peanut butter (such an obviously delicious flavor combination!) but I know there are people out there who are likewise confused as to why anyone would voluntarily eat a Reese's cup, so...yeah, I don't think there is any universal "safe" flavor option.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dairy-free is very excited about chocolate cake! Phew.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray!

Everyone else can fuck off if they don't like chocolate cake, obviously.

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

Timelies all!

Dear head of lab, it is not the best idea to ask me for help tomorrow as I'm leaving for the day. I had to keep repeating the request in my head until I got home, where I sent a reminder email to myself.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have absolutely asked people to send me an email or leave a note in similar circumstances

I do not like tornado warnings. Give me a hurricane any day.

Singing a little song called "we just lost power and I don't like it."

I also don't like tornado warnings and no power for you.

Our wings are not tired.

Add me to the list of people pronouncing desultory wrong. If enough of us are pronouncing it wrong, then I think we get to declare our version a regional dialect.

Let’s declare it!

I’m actually pretty heartened that so many of us were apparently pronouncing it the same way! But unlike most of you, it’s a word I’ve said aloud at least 70 times in my life. In front of people. In fact, hey, I may be a reason that hundreds of people are saying it “wrong”! I’m good with taking responsibility.

Meara where are you going for vacation? I’m taking my friend Akilah (we went to Mexico last year) to DR for a week. We leave Saturday. And yes I am counting the hours. I never quite understood the need for a tropical vacation until I moved to the east coast. I totally took my Hawaii/California upbringing for granted before this.
