A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

I bought something so pink this week, I think JZ convinced me to buy it. Have no idea where I'd wear it, but I have it. I hate that I don't have more ties here, though.

I’m chemically unstable if I don’t get my morning coffee!

Ha! Same!

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

Timelies all!

I called the dermatologist's office yesterday, and they didn't have my credit card. So I called Citibank and went through the whole song and dance of cancelling the card and getting a new one.(Which will arrive in 4 to 7 business days)

Mr. S had a major meltdown at school(physical aggression towards staff and community members) which led to a)another trip to the ER and b)suspension for the remaining days of school. It never seems to get better.

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

"Multiple better-educated Buffistas have pointed out that my caffeine molecule tattoo is missing a bond and chemically unstable"

Insubordinate! And Churlish!

Compassionately intolerant

'Tis the season. At one point, I thought is a generational thing, but I'm seeing the tightening up of friend groups over all the ages.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, I look at the drama of my friends groups from my 20s and I wonder where I found the energy to participate. That plus 2-3 jobs at the time. I need a nap just thinking about it. I do like the small community I’m in now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yesterday evening I saw a young couple - I kind of assume they were on their way to prom or some such - the young man was in a nice suit, the young woman was in a floofy pink mini-dress, pink purse, pink platform heels and carrying a bouquet of pink and white flowers. I told her she looked very pretty, so my day wasn't wasted.

I went and bought a dress - haven't worn a dress or even a skirt for at least ten years. Haven't worked up the nerve to wear it yet ....

Ooh, new dress... the right mood will strike to wear it.

Dresses are so great in the summer especially. Creates your own breeze.
