Hey, people want to give me money while I take a year off and try and establish myself as an escort/bodyguard?
What should we paypal? The price of a Krav class?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is her WIP that frelling good that people would pay to see it? Let the market take care of it.
But whether it is or not, it might call down the wrath of people who want to stop you from doing (or severely alter how you do) something you love. I can see getting defensive/protective in that scenario.
The price of a Krav class?
I was thinking more cuddle lounges, myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could totally just walk out, except I bet in five minutes the woman I work with is going to email me, because we haven't spoken all day. I should probably be here for that email.

What'll you do if they don't?

And what creepy guy calls a date an "escort"? I know that escort is a common term for a MALE companion for some married bluehair at the Support the Pigeons Ball, but "yeah, mom, I got a job as an escort/masseuse!"? Sign me the fuck up!
I'm sure he thought about it and decided that listing an hourly rate for dating sounded even worse.

Sulk? Pout? Stomp? Take all my toys and go home?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Let the market take care of it.
Okay, but the market is stupid.
Also, some of the WiPs she was offering to finish were collaborative efforts with other writers who were not amused.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Alliteration, I think, Emily.
What? I'm too nap-muzzied to respond to goat-fandom-craxy stuff. Now must go feed Mom and grill chicken before it turns and kills us all.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
We have ads for those kinds of "personal assistants" in the local weekly. It's all "attractive female" "travel involved" etc. It creeps me out. I was hired as a PA at my last job, but we changed it to admin because of the creepy factor associated with PA.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Today has been wild. Last night I got a lead on a job. The job hasn't been posted, and the person who turned me onto it has an inside connection. Pays really well and sounds fairly exciting (actually it sounds really exciting), but not really serving the community, unless by "serving the community" you mean the community of rich local celebrities.Sounds exciting!

Dude, you're so right.

Ha. I associate PA (now that I've moved to LA) with being overworked and underrespected and doing all sorts of things that the Geneva Convention would look poorly upon for one cranky egomaniac.
