I was surprised at how empowering it was to find that term that describes me.
It's so great how people have more opportunity to identify themselves in ways meaningful to them.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Tommyrot that sucks but yay government paying cobra and new AD!
Shrift I don’t think I knew that! Go you.
I just got off the phone with someone who needs to deal with a huge spreadsheet of issues. Which comes out quarterly and she ought to be familiar with. Turns out not only is she not familiar with it, she is the WORST in excel. Like, couldn’t even figure out how to scroll, half the time. Or filter. Or sort. I was trying to walk her through it and it was just awful. Yikes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I had a friend in college who was Cape Coloured (presumably still is, of course) and enjoyed making Americans stammer by saying it.
When a dude who grew up under Apartheid tells you he finds American racism more intrusive on his life that stings. "They follow me in stores because they think I'm Latino, then when I speak they think I'm English and suddenly they want to be my best friend..."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As Captain Raymond Holt said, "Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place."
Aw, I love that.

Yes indeed!
I was terrified of general anesthesia until I had it and now I LOVE it.
They gave me IV Benadryl after a procedure once and I still think about it wistfully.

Man, IV morphine was so fucking good.

I remember when I went to the ER with BAD abdominal pain (turned out to be appendicitis) and they gave me morphine. I felt it go through my veins and kind of went "ooooh" which had the nurse (or whoever) kind of grin at me.

Our wings are not tired
IV Benadryl
I have, not a truly allergic, but rather atypical reaction to Benadryl. I got to discover for certain about this when they gave it to me in IV form to try to get me to sleep when I was hospitalized for pancreatitis. Amp up, bugs under my skin, heart racing. Really not a fun reaction to that stuff.
