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

My problem with dystextia is that Ambien and dilaudid both inspire it. I don't know how I talk on Ambien, so I don't have a control, but I can talk a lot more clearly than I can type on dilaudid. Nurses can't tell I'm under the influence, but writing for the next half hour or so is a no-no. And re-reading is useless.

As you've no doubt noticed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I gotta say, "Confederate States Royston" might just take it all.

It's especially good because I imagine ole C.S. Royston coming after the other ones, because his parents were pissed off that other family members kept naming people after Yankee states. And were indecisive.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

msbelle, I was out with a friend last night, who told me that every disagreement with her 10-year-old son ends with him screaming "I hate you so much!" at the top of his lungs at her. She is not enjoying it.

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

who told me that every disagreement with her 10-year-old son ends with him screaming "I hate you so much!"

Phew, really glad I didn't have to go through that phase with Emmett. I mean he tried it on for size a few times when he was little when they want to see if they can hurt your feelings, but that was easy to shrug off.

OMG, today's special from the food truck was s'mores. With homemade graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and Nutella. You better BELIEVE I bought one.

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

Matilda's been having a nutella and peanut butter sandwich every day for lunch and blissing out about it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OMG, that sounds amazing, Jilli!

ION, it's snowing here. On my crocuses. Dammit.

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

Nutella sandwiches with whole wheat bread are my favourite. I mean, other than the magic muffins and oatmeal cookies. I'm trying to alter the recipe for maple oatmeal cookies, and I have some more playing to do this weekend.

I just found out what another person presented to this big meeting--he was saying it's no big deal, he only did one slide, yadda yadda...

His "slide" was redesigning the front page of our application to work in HTML and JSON with no .NET controls, entirely HTML5 compliant and touch enabled, passing the iPad around the meeting. Oh, hey, my "these are our project management mistakes" presentation is a surefire hit now...

I have never eaten from a food truck.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Your crocuses will be fine. They often bloom through the snow.

There are now food trucks here, after extensive efforts to change the laws to make it possible, but they congregated downtown and on the west side, which are both inconvenient for me. I think there should be food trucks like ice cream trucks that drive around neighborhoods playing an annoying tune.
