We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You know, a friend gave me a microwaveable neck thingy, and I think it was filled with buckwheat. I loved that thing. I left it at my parents' house when I went abroad and a few months later when they were moving house, they found it had become infested with maggots.

No more organic heating devices for me, though I do fantasize about them when my neck hurts. I saw something in Bed Bath that looked like it would do the trick without encouraging life, but was still too scared to buy.

Ouch, Tom. That's awful.

See, I tend to make craploads of food that I then refrigerate or freeze. Without a microwave, they'd be inedible. Or grossly overcooked. I just recently got a toaster oven. Mainly so I could eat TJ's naan. That's pretty much all I've used it for, other than a few toasted cheese sandwiches.

That is so sad.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I use my toaster oven way more often than my microwave; but then I didn't have a micro until I was, uh, 33-ish, so I didn't grow up inculcated in its weird ways.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oof, that is sad.

Speaking of heating devices, I think I have a Thermacare thingy -- would that do me any good for my poor-office-ergonomics neck issues? I did finally request the new computer, or at least monitor, but no word yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.

bon, I don't know if I should ignore your post or run up and check my heating bags for creepy crawlies.

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

Oh, shit, tommy.

I think krav needs a t-shirt that says "Your groin is open."

I'm okay with not having a microwave. Makes reheating rice and pasta a bit of a chore, but no biggie.

Handwriting with mixed case makes me twitchy. Not entirely clear why.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Good idea for the krav shirt! I'm a fan of "You just got your ass kicked by a girl" myself. Wish I could see that one.

So ita are you a Level 3?

Edited for question.
