Saying/writing "anywho" (or "anyhoo" -- name your variation, and I loathe it).
Mah sistah. I especially hate it when someone says it with a big ol' sigh, as if the weight of their own storytelling has worn them out.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean how it could be assumed from a couple in a hetero relationship that the man is taking the traditionally male role (decision-maker, bread-winner, etc.)?
Yeah, this pretty much.
In my head now I'm going "anahoo!" over and over again. Thanks, Steph, for putting that out there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you wrote your own Facebook update, isn't it sort of assumed you like it?
This is my feeling!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you wrote your own Facebook update, isn't it sort of assumed you like it?
I wouldn't assume that.
But liking your own status still seems unnecessary, at best. In my head, the "like" is to communicate with the status' author.

"Anywho" is a family verbal thing. We all do it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Cleveland needs a Harvey Pekar statue.

Bradley Cooper beat Roger Federer at tennis. Okay, there may have been mitigating circumstances.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cleveland needs a Harvey Pekar statue.
I had to look up who that was. I feel very unbuffista-like.

Our wings are not tired.
So many, many things peeve me but the latest one that is driving me to despair is the "to be perfectly honest" or "to be quite frank" and any variant of. Just get to your frakking point, you verbal stammerer! @@@@@@@@@@@@@
Perkins and ND are both in my thoughts and I am sending all good vibes.
Now back to work. I have not had this much workload with this much deadline in at least a year. Last weekend was spent literally mopping up mess after mess and flood after flood from my broken washing machine. This week and weekend are being spent mopping up mess after figurative mess in some documents I am finalizing for FDA.
I don't know which is worse.
