No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dagnabbit. I went to the supermarket and forgot to buy flour. It was on my list!

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

Der. I usually live in wikipedia. Thanks, flea.

I am never telling anyone here how old I am. They were ribbing on this one guy for turning 40, clearly having no idea I'm older than he is. Or, to look at it another way, one day I will tell them, so I can see the look on their faces. Just not yet.

Oh, dear. Having read the summary, the hate has come back. I like it when some stories fold in on themselves--cf my love of Owen Meany. Just not this one. I found it twee.

I don't really remember what happens, and I will not find out now!

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

Timelies all!

A quick look at the hated books list didn't show anything I had read voluntarily. Of course, I didn't get all the way through the list...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I decided to wear festive socks tonight, red with penguins and tiny Xmas trees. Also in my drawer: three Halloween pairs and one pair of thick red and green striped socks with penguins and treads on the sole. Also three pairs of non-holiday penguin socks and one single solitary palm tree festooned sock clearly missing its partner.

I may yet put on earrings, also.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.

Don't think I can read The Lovely Bones. I've flipped through it in the bookstore but I'm pretty sure I'll never read it.

Who had Lost DVDs on sale?

A high school classmate (the one we cut out of the 20th reunion planning process) got arrested for identity theft yesterday.
