I dunno, meara, any 13 year old can get knocked up.
Doesn't make it less terrifying, though.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Getting pregnant required not much more forethought than the previous 5 years of marriage. Buying a home involves all this stuff. Lawyers and realtors and mortgage brokers and co-op boards and paperwork and money...
[eta: And now I'm looking up neighborhood stats including schools for the new apartment, which is a home-ownership + baby Adult Thing To Do. I'm so responsible and shit!]
Gack!
I laughed when I read that the online addiction counseling can be done online.
Seriously. I mean, how do they make sure you're not looking at porn in another window during your sessions?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just spent half an hour on the phone trying to find something the NY intraoffice mail room lost.
That was fun.

I don't like today. On the upside, though, I have chocolate cake. On the downside, I've learnt that it's a really good idea to take my migraine prophylactics as scheduled. And that's the upside of the down bit.

Hmm. Framing that penultimate sentence made me wonder--how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb? As in, to replace "I hope" in the sentence under consideration. Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.

Wait, what? Was there something about a kid?
