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

I've never eaten cow brains (on purpose), but I'm still a potential mad cow disease carrier. I'd assumed all prion-based diseases had the same transmission risks. Just because it kills you from the brain, doesn't mean it's isolated there.

This is perfect. I want it *so* bad. Even more badly than the last leather jacket I bought. Jesus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm catching up on Ellen, so seeing the local news promos, and as of last week, apparently there was a "highly contagious stomach bug sweeping New England." So maybe that's what you have, Dana?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think it may be sweeping more areas than New England, yeah.

Why isn't my app downloading? It's just sitting there. Pfeh.

Chacha says I shouldn't have sex with a stranger--only in a committed relationship. I should discuss expectations before engaging in a threesome.

Jesus, google "norovirus outbreak" if you want to skeeve yourself out.

Because books.

I think it may be sweeping more areas than New England, yeah.

The news here this morning said sixty-something students at Rider College had what they thought was norovirus.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There have been a few cases in SF too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Quick hivemind plea... what's a good OTC dewormer for dogs? My sis is helping a friend who's rescued a stray. Sorry to post and run, late for a meeting.
