Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Our wings are not tired.

I called the general contractor and they're calling the flooring company right away and calling me back. So hopefully the flooring company will just come out and remove toilet and put it back on right this time.

Glad I caught it now and not later.

How stressful, java. I hope it's something very very very minor.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Yeah. I was looking at the ecological map. All kinds of plants will go extinct.

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

Holy damn, java! Bad toilet! Bad! Sending you lots of toilet~ma.

I've been reduced to the not-especially-productive strategy of (a) nigh-OCD levels of recycling and composting, and (b) otherwise curling up in a tiny fetal ball with my fingers in my ears whimpering, "Nuh uh, no no no."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

A young man asked to use my phone at the bus stop, and then STOLE IT!

Yikes! What a fuckhead!

(I should password-protect my phone, I should...)

And yikes for java! I hope it's easily and cheaply fixed.

Because books.

Scroll down to see the Dresden Dolls listed as a band that stimulates Christian thought.

Okay then. (Very offensive website, just FYI; banner reads: God Hates Fags!)

They called out places like Tibet and the Himalayas, and my gallows humor said, "there goes the yetis."

All I have left is gallows humor.

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

People's worst nightmare at holiday parties -- vegans and gluten-free people. [link] The first story had me rolling my eyes forever. People have to eat vegetables that weren't cooked with meat! The party is ruined!
