A guy here who shot his lover's husband is contending he was told to kill by six-foot-tall demons who looked and sounded like Barry White and Olivia Newton-John [link]
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, I'm listening to a developer struggle with at least his second language over a poor connection about something that's too technical for me to be able to grasp entirely even if it was orated by Stephen Fry. But we're so far away from that...
I'm tempted to put them on mute and watch Vampire Diaries. At least that way I'll be awake?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, if you're going for an insanity plea, might as well go all out on the insanity.

Demons and angels, Ginger. Which makes me wonder...which was which?

Because books.
I'm willing to believe they are human and people (though certainly not independent people) and abortion is bad (which I DO believe all of those things) and STILL believe that I don't have to right to regulate anyone else's body!
Well said.

Now that's a delusion.

He obviously couldn't tell which was the angel and which the demon or he wouldn't be saying he didn't know right from wrong.

Just because they're an angel doesn't mean they were encouraging you to do right. Haven't you learnt anything from the Winchesters?

Except now, I'm busy imagining Castiel with Barry White's voice (and Gabriel with Olivia Newton John's), so I'm going to go, ah, apply myself.

I need buffista teacher help. CJ just got his progress report grades and he went from a B to an F in History due to two assignments being marked as missing (2 out of 7 assignments - with 100% on 4 of them). CJ swears he turned them in but the teacher said she didn't have them. Apparently they were in class projects, so it isn't a paper he can just reprint and resubmit.
I keep trying to tell him it is his responsibility to work with the teacher and figure out how to get his grade back on track. He just gets frustrated and tells me it isn't his fault his teacher can't find those assignments. I wish I had something more constructive to suggest to him.
