brenda, I endorse your notion of going for a pie to positively reinforce not flipping out like a mammal. Pie under these circumstances is totally justified.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
ETA: Good thing brend isn't a college student, their Old God Coverage goes through the roof, I hear.
This is why under Obamacare, students can remain under their parents' Old God coverage. (Prudent parents will have purchased the King in Yellow rider.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I can report that expired-by-three-years Sudafed does work but only for six hours, not twelve. And somehow, the drugs that make most people sleepy leave me wide awake. I think I may call in sick today. If I venture out for more drugs maybe I'll get something pie-like.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Wait, does Sudafed make people sleepy? It keeps me awake if I take it too late.

Sometimes. Sometimes it just makes me stupid. Sometimes it wires me up Sometimes it does all three at once. (Which is really unpleasant.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I'm sad because I have no pie. I guess I could have pizza for lunch or dinner.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My desire for pie is warring with my desire to stay in my house in my pajamas.

My dinner tonight culminated in lemon meringue pie.

But billytea, it's not even Pi Day there, right?
