Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not while the Dems are in charge, you know they're too wimpy to do it.

Whew!

I am giving a presentation on plagiarism tomorrow and I really need to get it together and I am SO NOT MOTIVATED. But I did find a wonderful Dinosaur Comic for it. (Couldn't find a damn thing from Calvin and Hobbes, though there must be something.)

Our wings are not tired.

It would be rude of me to rag on the American educational system, so I'll leave off.

My eyes don't usually notice the s/z thing, or the ou/o thing, but my browser underlined it in red when I pasted the quote so I had to look twice. It seems to think I shouldn't spell grey with an e too. Silly spell checker makes me right click to add far too often.

Police helicopter just quit circling pointed a couple blocks over. Ah, Baltimore. Still walking to the pool now.

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

I know Annalee and emailed her to say that the story was false.

Oh, good. I was going to say something but wasn't sure it was my place, since I wasn't around back then.

I contributed a lot of pieces to the TV Tropes wiki when it first started.

I wrote the original entry for Anvilicious.

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

I switched my language to English/UK, and it doesn't care. Bastidge.

I kinda emailed Annalee too. I should have just stayed out of it, but I couldn't. And she doesn't know me from Eve.

The thing about Gus was, yeah, his backstory was kind of incredible. But then, so is ita's (Jamaican daughter of a research scientist, can kill you with her pinky, old friend of CFerg?). Or Jilli's (would *you* believe in her if you hadn't seen her?). Or Jon B.'s (silver. pleather. thereminist. actuary. in a White Castle commercial). I mean, any decent writer could turn half of us into Mary Sues without too much effort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What you didn't know is that "ita" is actually a series of 13 year old boys at a private school in Michigan.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

As one ages out of 8th grade, a new one takes over.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I don't feel *scammed* exactly, but he did intrude upon my heartstrings at one time, which was a manipulation. I do wonder about the person I spent that time talking to...was anything that we discussed for real?(Luckily, it was never that intimate, so I only feel slightly exposed, but the potential was certainly there.) But I don't care to ever talk to whoever's left...they all had their chance. The thing is, it was a hard catch because Buffistas(not generally me, but as a community,) do colorful things.
