Is she taking the clumps of hair that end up in the tub, or that mysteriously gather on hardwood floors in corners and become dustbunnies?
She takes them from your hairbrush and leaves them in your drains and hardwood floors. The hair fairy is a bitch.
meara, you will never win the lottery.
aimee, you neither.
I'm sorry. You're both good people and deserving of the lives that lottery winning would bring.
On the plus side, neither of your will be hit by lightning or eaten by a shark.
So it balances.
Because the only reason I didn't win the lotto BEFORE was because I keep not buying tickets, right???
Sure. That's a piece of it. You've actually increased your odds from zero chance to one chance in 195,249,054, which is the largest increase in odds possible.
we had our first bee sting today. The stinger was poking out of Noah's belly but he hadn't even cried. Yet he cries if you tell him no. Sigh.
He hasn't yet realised that a bee sting means "NO" in Bee.

Heh. Also, "I am willing to die to make my point."
Ellen is really unlikeable, like a million.
Whaaaaat? No, she's just the ultimate self-absorbed actor. I love her for it.
In my book, the ultimate self-absorbed actor = unlikeable.
I adore Slings & Arrows, but S1 Ellen drove me nuts. I liked her better in S2. There are some characters who I wouldn't like in real life, but adore watching on screen (Sue Sylvester) and others that just bug. For me, Ellen falls in the latter category.
meara, you will never win the lottery.
Hmph! Well, see if I let YOU on buffista island after I win my $80 million powerball jackpot!
Which is TOTALLY going to happen.
Totally.
Just you wait.
I still love Ellen. Part of the reason she's so unlikeable in S1 is that she's still closed off and neurotic from The Event Seven Years Ago. She's seriously damaged, but since she's the one who stayed, she had to present as if she was still whole and still able to be the prima donna (I mean this in the original, opera sense). She's amazing at what she does, and there is a reason Geoffrey and a lot of other people around her love her. In the rehearsal confrontation in S1, she is the only one to stand up to the director and say, "Look, we don't know where you're leading us, and you haven't given any reason to trust you, and we feel like we're going to fall off a cliff any minute now." I don't like how she does it, but she does it.
I maybe overidentify with both of them a little bit.
