Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Thrive to spite them

I haven't gotten my utility bill yet, it will be my first, so I don't know what to expect and it's driving me crazy. I'm worried it will be sky high.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sophia -- does your lease say no heating, it doesn't seem right that they can just change it if you've signed something.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I first read this as 'utility belt'. I blame this board.

What is even happening?

Narrator -- If she doesn't already know it, you should introduce your niece to the AAMilne poem about how awesome being six is. Edit: Here [link]

So far, I've read that to both Ben and Julia on their sixth birthdays. Someone ping me in April, for Chris.

(really need to stop typing a "t" at the end of his name)

There's a Build-a-Bear five minutes from our house. I'll know to avoid it in the future.

I spotted one at the mall, but it was a while before my kids were aware of it. I have the impression that it is pricey, but haven't checked it out, because I think it would be like crack.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I haven't signed anything. Basically they don't seem to want me to sign until they are ready for me to move in. It is driving me CRAZY! it i smaking me regret going back on my plan to never rent from a company, only an individual.

Trust my rage

DH lived in Columbus, GA for a year, 2 years ago. Whenever I visited him, I hated it with a passion stronger than I've hated any place we've ever lived.

Atlanta, OTOH, was very cool (not in temperature, though). Great restaurants, fun stuff to do, and good shopping. After about 2 visits, DH and I started having my visits in Atlanta only.

Thanks! That's a great poem for her. I'll make sure she sees it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I lived in Atlanta for a few years. It took me a while to get into it - maybe six months - but I ended up really liking it. Public transit is the suck though, unless your start and end points are right on the metro line. Virginia Highlands/Midtown/Little Five Points are nice though, with lots of stuff to do, easy going, and easy to get around so the transit thing isn't such a big deal. Decatur's not bad either, though a little farther out. Personally, I avoid Buckhead like the plague.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have an upset stomach. Makes me not want to go into work, but looking at linoleum makes me not want to go into work. Plus, it'll be settled before I even finish the commute.

Doesn't make me feel better now, though.

Cool shopping site that is being put towards my motivation to go into work, since I forbid myself to look at it here.
