You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YAY!

Speed, on a bus hurtling down the highway at night. The driver hit the brakes at an exit and 40 people screamed out loud.

Ha! Speed seems like a terrible choice for a bus movie regardless.

OH! In random news of other people, this is why I don't tell my coworkers about every minute of my life: My coworker who does do that was describing her day to me and accidentally got to the part where she and her boyfriend went home for some daytime nookie. I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS. I also didn't really need to know about the coffee you were drinking earlier, FTR.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay, msbelle! Hey, how far are you able to commute? You're in the FW side of D/FW, right? Could you get to Grand Prarie/Duncanville?


msbelle - Jan 03, 2012 1:33:57 pm PST #14218 of 30001
I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

could not do Grand Prairie/Duncanville on a daily basis, maybe once a week.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm. What is your ideal work role if you could do something periodic like that?

Because books.

Good news, msbelle!

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

Yay for work, msbelle!

My coworker who does do that was describing her day to me and accidentally got to the part where she and her boyfriend went home for some daytime nookie. I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS.

Um, how do you reveal something like that by accident? At work? Or wait, don't tell me, I don't really need to know.

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

Doesn't The Hobbit come out before the Mayan calendar ends? I think we're good either way.

Congrats, msbelle!

A couple of co-workers (and a consultant) might have gotten out of me my non-negative viewpoint on marijuana. I have no idea why I open my mouth sometimes. That's not a work conversation!

However, I think Afternoon Delight will always remain off the conversational menu.

Apparently my laptop being stolen *is* viable gossip material. Because people are coming up to me to tease me about it.
