Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Timelies all!

Urgh...didn't sleep well last night. G was stressed over a work project and got fidgetty around 3 am. He then got up and went into another room, which apparently was the signal for the cat to jump on the bed and meow a lot, with occasional claws-extended-stretch against the wall by my head. Bleah...

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

What, not THAT kind of submission?

You see me turning you down?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, that was exciting. My final took me a half hour. Now I wait for the calls to come in. @@

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Jesse don't answer your phone. or at least screen.

I think I can feel my mouth enough to eat now. I am STARVED!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

From tommyrot's link:

a shitty tip is, by my definition, any gratuity under 17%

That seems a pretty high threshold to me.

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

I'M HOME!!

And this time, it only took *2* hours! O happy day!

I am mostly packed. I think. There is barely room for my clothes. RIDICULOUS.

If I'm forgetting something or not packing warmly enough OH WELL. I do need to straighten up around here though. It's clean, just cluttered. God, is it cluttered.

Go eat msbelle! Just chew carefully.

It depends on where the restaurant is, I think. 17% is definitely on the low end for NYC.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That seems a pretty high threshold to me.

Yeah, Bitter Waitress better get ready for a long lifetime full of abject disappointment if anything less than 17% is considered an insult. Particularly if the site's theme of snotty entitlement is actually displayed to the customers before they receive the check.

Yeah, me too. Who gets to make that call anyway?
