I got confused when we had to make things oscillate.
Taken out of context, that could go after Trudy's post too....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

Oh yeah, I also hooked up a sonar to my Arduino, and then had it send the sonar data via USB to my laptop. That was fun to play with.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am tommyrot when it comes to the sadness of the childhood electronics kit. I connected tab A to slot B and made things light up when following the directions, but I didn't so much get beyond that point....
One of my students just got back from taking his gang of adorable inner-city middle-school students to RoboCup 2007. I'll bet he mastered the electronics kit. (And the middle-schoolers may have too. Someone please convince the dude to teach and/or design stuff rather than majoring in econ?)

Having to walk through dirty water gushing out of storm drains and sit next to people who smell like hot garbage on the bus really just makes me crave a night in with my Summer's Eve.
Oh yeah. So totally yeah.

it's not like ure my woman
See, I'm picky, so I'd rule him out solely on the basis of "ure" rather than "youre"...I can forgive the occasional "u" instead of "you" or 4 instead of for, but...ure?? (This is, of course, why I'm planning ot get a phone with a full qwerty keyboard, so I can write better texts without taking forever)

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

I am the uptightest ever on this front. I type every damned word out in a text, ignoring the character limit and my aching thumbs. I am more likely to write "ASAP" on the web and "as soon as possible" in a text message. Oh, and everything is properly capitalised too.
It's possible the chip on my shoulder is somehow also up my butt.
He is (was?) a nice guy otherwise I'd have brushed him off hard a while back, but I do feel genuinely unable to make friends out of acquaintances right now (although existing friends might appreciate me spreading the load a bit...) and was faced with that wall, not knowing how to get past it.
Man, I keep flipping over to Facebook to stare at this picture of the wife of one of the instructors. She's that chick, for values of that for which you have to grudgingly admit she can carry off a piece of fashion you previously thought impossible. She's tiny, hot, and sweet. She has a couple of wedding pics up and I'm freaking mesmerised.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I am ita, only with less deadly pinkies. My 17 year old baby sitter cannot understand why I don't use text shortcuts. It takes me ages to type out my text messages.
It's making me consider a qwerty keyboard phone, too.

This is me and my friend Amy. Properly punctuated too. I also use words that the phone can't guess or spell.
