I don't really like sleeping in socks, actually. It's just necessary some of the time.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Most people toughed it out, but whenever Colin was over there was usually a pile of his clothes at the front door and he was basically in skivvies.
You just said that to hurt us, didn't you?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Not very useful, Times!
Did you see the blog's byline? It's the publisher's son. He can slack off, and they can't fire him!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I recognised the name, but didn't know it was the son. Again, I say - Bah!
[hey, complaining worked! He finally updated!]

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

You can't imagine his basic youthful allergy to clothes. Which persisted for a while into his acting career. But onstage at the comedy club the standups would place bets on how long it would take him to shed his clothes. There were no losers there, I think.

I really can't see the point of a slow roll call vote on this - didn't we already just spend 2 hours hearing everyone explain how they were voting and why?

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?
Socks: Only in the winter time, or while wearing gym shoes any time of year. Never while sleeping.
I sleep with a bottom sheet and a comforter, no top sheet because I get tangled up in it. I always have 1 leg out of the covers and by morning, I usually have both legs out and am only covered up from the waist to the shoulders.
And, yes, I realize I'm odd. I'm okay with that.

I use to wear socks to bed. Now I have a dozen blankets and control of the thermostat, so I don't need to do so.
Right now I'm working at home with a sock on one foot and an ace bandage covering half of the other one. The bare toes are slightly chilly, but that just gives me an excuse to pet the cat with them.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just heard on the radio -- the NY Senate voted "no" on marriage, 38-24.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I used to have the most overheated apartment in Montreal. No matter the depths of winter, it was always T-shirt weather inside. Most people toughed it out, but whenever Colin was over there was usually a pile of his clothes at the front door and he was basically in skivvies. I'd keep windows open and it was still warm. I had no heating control.
You just described my former apartment. Sadly, without the half-dressed Colin.
I came to miss that when it was time for me to pay for my own heat. I could get very warm, but not stuffy.
And again, this is me. ("$200 for a utility bill?!? TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS?!? I didn't even get warm for 6 weeks and we have to PAY them for that?!?")
