That's hilarious. I would still know it's there, though....
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe you just need to get used to them, Burrell? If you are used to straining your eyes a little bit to read you might be doing that even though you don't have to.
I am thinking I may need to go full progressive for my next glasses. I've got separate glasses for "computer distance" and "distance", and the "computer distance" prescription works ok for reading, but I am finding that going from, say, watching TV to looking at my watch takes a lot of squinting.

I imagine my cats would roll around attacking their own butts until they got rid of that thing. They don't rest until they take off any collar I try to put on them, preferably outside where I can't find it and put it back on them.

twatkins! That is hilarious. Somebody make it your password.
I intended to go to the office today, but yesterday's commute home took two and a half hours and I have all of the jetlag, so I have declared Fuck It, I'm Working from Home. I have piles of mail to deal with and laundry in the washer, and I'm not entirely sure how I'll be able to get up at 4am tomorrow. My flight's at 7:45am and I expect the airport will be a madhouse, so I want to get there early and shove a breakfast burrito in my face.

Ann, that's a ferret.
A salute to annoying Christmas songs. (Although I would quibble about including "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire).")

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm dealing with part of my anxiety by telling my family and close friends that I love them but I am officially a hot mess this year, so don't expect much, like seriously, the presents will be late and may consist of stuff I found in my house (hey, I've got some cool stuff, shut up).
I did actually find three presents I bought for people a year ago and forgot about, so.

Dear goddess I hate it when I tell a customer something, and their only response is "Huh?" I am annoyed and/or irked if they say "Excuse me, I didn't understand that" or "Could you repeat that?" etc. But the lackbrained "Huh?" inspires a jolt of rage that frightens me.

I've trained myself so thoroughly to say "I'm sorry?" instead of "huh??" that I did it to my mother the other night.
Once again, ready for a nap, not more working. Maybe I'll turn off the alarm clock and come in late tomorrow? Literally no one cares.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have done that before, Zen, and it was fine. YFamilyMV, of course, but I hope yuo can replicate my results. At this point, my family is pretty much trained not to expect anything from me so if I do manage to come up with something everyone involved is thrilled.
