Well today turned out to be crap. Something I was working on got reviewed and there were errors in it. Not major ones, but still. My responsibility, I totally accept that. But to make matters worse, my boss decide to point out my "sloppy" ways in front of other people. I am still wishing the ground could swallow me whole.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They already took away the traditional 'two spaces after a period.' And now they're going after the serial comma. Is this what the start of the Singularity feels like?
I was just reading a letter by Andrew Carnegie recently, and for a minute, I thought that he was crappy speller....until I remembered he was a spelling reformer. I'm pretty sure he would have spelled "thought" "thot".

Heh. Yet exasperating, I'm sure.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Congratulations, msbelle!
I've been in New York less than six hours and a pigeon (I hope it was a pigeon) has shit IN my bag. I missed this place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think this is an interesting question. What was your first online handle? I think mine was phoenix, at university. I'm not embarrassed at all. Now, if computers had come along in my life five years earlier I'd have gone online as daleyfan, and that would have been blush-inducing to recall.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Heh. I still use my original internet handle, fatou dust. Which I chose when I still thought the internet was going to be all geeks and everyone on it would get the math reference. No one does. But it was a pretty good unique id for a long time. There are some others out there now, but it was mostly me.

Umm.
Bifster. Because it was funny for about 30 seconds. I used it on the high school in-house system. My first one in wide use, though, was Cloister the Stupid, which I used for years and years and years, and ran my boards under and everything. (Fannishness. Always a part of me.)
I think I've been active as Minim Calibre longer than I was as Cloister. Huh.

I never really had a non-name "handle," I don't think.
