I have a tennis/formal wear kink I just can't explain. Thanks for that link, sumi. I had no idea I had those feelings for Stosur.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Because books.
I'm driving away from this house as an inhabitant for the last time today. New house ahoy! Meep.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Much health-ma to Perkins and Drew. I'm glad they caught that early, Perkins. I hope they figure out what the deal is, ND.
My biggest written tic is "Anyway..." as a transition or to bring a subject to a close. I have to watch out that I don't use it a bunch of times in the same piece of writing (generally email). I suspect I do it verbally as well, but I haven't paid close enought attention to know for sure.
I also tend to use "wicked" in the New England sense of the word.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's way catchy, but lords I get twitchy listening to songs about how women are just horrible for not being with the narrator.
It really seems to me like just the one woman is terrible. And the guy she's with. He's singing it to both of them. It would be hard to write anything if we couldn't criticize one person without it being extrapolated to the entire gender.
Here's the Cee-Lo song I'm in love with and not only because my friend Rob wrote it and is now getting a decade-and-a-half's worth of "overnight" success. What Part of Forever.
Rob is doing the whistling. When Cee-Lo played it on Leno I cried hearing the whistling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm driving away from this house as an inhabitant for the last time today. New house ahoy! Meep.
Woo hoo!! Good luck!
