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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice! I've never had clove candy.

Clove is the best flavor of Necco wafer!

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

Some people tried to explain to me that there were as many female genre and/or nerds as male. And then they treated me like I was mansplaining. It was really surreal. Just because LJ is full of female slash fans...no, it's still a man's world, in terms of numbers and volume of yelling. It's getting better, but there isn't parity yet.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

OMG. This is the longest day of the longest week. I have been ready for Winter Break since 2nd period this morning. I still have 2 classes to teach today AND 4 days next week. Our break doesn't even start till next Friday and I need it to start now. Dear me...next week is gonna suck.

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

I've been told I was wrong about something online while on the phone with Tim. But if I mention that I'm getting it from the horse's mouth, I'm namedropping. Please tell me what the rules are. As they currently stand, I can't win, because your Dude Opinion will always trump my facts. Now I'm mad.

It's a frequent criticism on Vampire People, that I'm a namedropping BNF. I remember trying really hard to explain what a fraught relationship that was to build, when you've placed someone on a pedestal. I think I failed.

The appropriate response I think is to say, "OMG, I wish I had a penis so I can be as smart as you are! That's where the extry brains are, right? In the penis?"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Tsk, Allyson, you just don't get it. If you have a penis you don't need extra brains. Penis Uber Alles.

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

TEACHERS - in the past, we've given Dylan's daycare providers Amex gift cards for the holidays. Is this appropriate for a preschool teacher?

hip deep in pie

Nice! I've never had clove candy. Is that a Canadian thing? It sounds like the sort of thing Ple would eat. Or object to strenuously but she'd have an opinion, by gum.

I don't think they are particularly Canadian. They just seemed to be the ones my mom bought if she didn't buy the hard candy assortment at Xmas.
