To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending you much love, msbelle.

Why is she not telling him what high school she went to? Also, how much trouble am I causing by sending him home with more questions?

She's freaking out just like you are because clearly she IS the whatever-her-name-is that you remember from high school? That's my guess anyway.

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

All right! It's time to finish my Self Assessment. What are the top three contributions I want to make next year? Hmmm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

he actually said "I'm above average in all the sciences. Except perhaps social."

Well he's half-right?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I have to polish up my cover letter and submit applications for two different jobs at my campus, both of which would be essentially the same stuff I'm doing now, but for much more money and in divisions where I would never, ever again have contact with Rage Nurse or Vengeance Doc. Why is this onerous? Why am I not all over this? I don't understand me.

Change is hard, even when it's good for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, msbelle. I hope you can work something out, because that does Not sound like good times.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh my god. The author who put a hard return at the end of every line e-mailed back and said -- I swear to you -- "I don't know what a paragraph return is. Please advise."

I don't even know how to explain what the fuck a paragraph return is. It's A PARAGRAPH RETURN!

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

Can you just ask him to make it more obvious where the paragraph breaks are in his manuscript?

Wow. That's...wow.

I'd keep things as simple as possible and say "hit the enter key twice". And if he asks what the enter key is, punch him in the face.
