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

probably it doesn't mean it's free

Fair cop. I get pissed off and defensive, but all I'm asking for is time to make it right--not trying to get permission to just not pay for stuff I knowingly used.

The WORST thing (and it happened twice, because I'm evidently a moron) where I want to ask for mercy and really shouldn't get it...dialup internet outside the area of free calling. I've probably, in two goes, blown close to $1K that way. Just STUPID.

my poor boss was on Percoset for the meeting, so I kind of held my breath every time she started talking. She actually did OK, if a little spacy.

Jaysus! I'd never do that. My reaction is too unpredicatable. But I could probably go up to 4mg of Dilaudid and remain coherent. Not drive. But maybe fool people into thinking I had idea #1 of what was going on.

I think I want a cookie.

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

Timelies all!

It's ridiculously hot here today. I hope we have dance practice inside tonight.

Shoot, all that talk of bills suddenly reminds me I forgot to grab mine to take and pay today! Damnit! Hope none of them will be late. eep.

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

I just got snapped at in a text message. There are very few ways to take "it's not like ure my woman" as a response to me apologising for not returning a call.

Well, any hint of guilt has just evaporated. That's handy.

(what? There was totally tone)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My publicist asked me if I've done any internet marketing for my book.

Does being ON the internet count?

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, kinda snippy. And, if women could be "emasculated" kind of that, too. Depending how much you like the guy. I say you can kick him in the head if you want, ita.ETA: If paperdol has a webpage for her book, is that internet marketing? I think, maybe. I can't wait for your book. But Amazon got my $ so I'll have to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have you done off-the-internet marketing?!?

I just got snapped at in a text message. There are very few ways to take "it's not like ure my woman" as a response to me apologising for not returning a call.

Yikes.

Jaysus! I'd never do that. My reaction is too unpredicatable.

Yeah, I don't know -- she was going on and on about how she never takes them, and she took it in two halves, and luckily it all worked out.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

probably it doesn't mean it's free

Very true. It also probably doesn't mean that I'll send a random amount of money to a random address every month.

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

Would you have an orgy with this guy? I was expecting something different from all the stories.

My migraines are the simple reason I hadn't called this guy back after we played phone and text tag. And I really didn't want to talk about my migraines with him. I was just bitching about it yesterday and honestly was going to call him today.

I'm sure it sounds sketchy, but I'd even pegged the time I was going to do it.

Fie on him indeed.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Actually, my AT & T bill doesn't always show up - so I have been know to send random amounts of money as a CYA move.
