She came down the lobby, saw the two girls, recognized instantly what was happening and ran back into the elevator and away.
I figured this must happen some of the time.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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

If they did make a movie of it, you know that they would happify the ending. I am struck by the remakes of big movies that change/happify the endings for the today's audiences. Ocean's 11 and Thomas Crown Affair come to mind.

A Battle for the Ages: Unicorn vs. Robot Dinosaur Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
If you’ve seen one fight between a robot T-Rex and a steroidal unicorn immortalized as a tattoo, you’ve seen them all.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's a hell of a story. The girls must have been upset that she didn't want to meet them, but yeah, that probably happens a lot. But how great they found each other!

LHC knocked out by ANOTHER power failure
Exclusive The Large Hadron Collider - most puissant particle-punisher ever assembled by the human race - has suffered another major power failure, knocking not only the atomsmasher itself but even its associated websites offline. The machine remains unserviceable at present. However its crucial cryogenics seem to have been unaffected, and no catastrophic damage is thought to have occurred.
...
The exact cause of the fault remains to be established, though in a machine so complex a lot of routine teething troubles are to be expected. However, with interest in the LHC so intense, colourful speculation is to be anticipated.
"Maybe it was a birdy bread-bomber from the future," jokes Chris Stephens of the LHC Portal - referring to the well-known wingnut theory that that the mere possibility of the LHC unmasking certain phenomena engenders forces which act backwards through time to sabotage it before this can happen.
We ourselves find it hard not to suspect the involvement of some pan-dimensional police force, seeking to prevent humanity acquiring parallel-universe portal capability before we're ready to use it responsibly. ®

But how great they found each other!
That's the happy ending.
My friend Pat was adopted and her birth mother tracked her down. The birth mother was so needy and neurotic that it turned out to be a big problem for her, and Pat had to work hard to set boundaries with her.

For the steampunk toddler in your life.
Heh. I was just looking at that earlier.
There really aren't any steampunk toddler in my life. Perhaps I should change that?
"Steampunk Toddler Army" could be a band name....

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I was trying to wait for the new Good Riddance thread, but I just can't any more. I got my gift yesterday! Yay slacking! Lovely Fernet and a book Cooking with Fernet Branca, which I actually thought was a cookbook for a second, but looks really entertaining. I'm saving it for the trip to Florida with my mother next week, because I'm sure I'll need a laugh or two. Also, warm socks from Alaska with POLAR BEARS ON THEM. And a polar bear keychain that I might have to put on my work keys so that I can just jingle it when someone is annoying me and know that I'm really calling them a polar bear :) oh, oh, and SOAP. Beautiful handmade soaps in sweet nectar and honey, oats, and creme that smell really good. THANK YOU DREW!!!!!!!
