I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

High school (graduated in 88) was mostly about drinking for me, but I also did whip-its (my friend's mom managed a cooking store!), acid a couple of times, and smoked a little pot. In college, my roommate and I did our fair share of E (OMG love- that is a dangerous drug as there was no downside I could see/feel), I tried coke a couple of times (hated it), and accidentally tried meth once (at a party where they said it was coke - I was an emotional wreck the next day).

It has been many many years since I did anything harder than alcohol and I plan to keep it that way. I guess I was a little wild? Here's hoping my baby boy is more like most of you Buffistas and not as interested in experimentation as his Mama was.

A hamster-themed hotel in Nantes, France, offers rooms and layouts inspired by hamster-cages. Rooms have hamster wheels, the food is all grains and seeds, the water comes out of hamster bottles, etc.

Also, the rooms smell like elderberries. Well, that and sawdust.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My school was a much bigger alcohol place than pot. I tend to think that might be true for many high schools (though, naturally not all, as Jesse pointed out above) then and now.

I think in my crowd, it was probably 50/50 -- but I just remember getting liquor as being a production -- you had to know someone, or risk buying at the liquor store, or whatever. To get a dime bag you just had to ask whoever between classes.

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

Boffins = Scientists, in British.

Huh. Specifically? I always assumed it was more generically brainiacs, eggheads, etc.

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

I have never even seen a hypothetical appeal to uppers. Yikes.

Just had the boss say nice things about my work. I'd love if this could turn into a permanent position, but it's way too early to tell.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. Specifically? I always assumed it was more generically brainiacs, eggheads, etc.

It is both, according to Wikipedia.

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

I always thought boffins were a species of flightless bird.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think those are puffins.

And Puffin Boffins are flightless scientists.
