Why do people cheerfully ask "Are you all packed?!" How is that not supposed to be stressful? Because the answer is probably, NO OMG I'm not packed yet! And even if I am all packed, why would anyone be asking me that?
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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

They often tended to be off-kilter compared to a typical human reaction.
"We're completely cut off and are probably about to die!" (big toothy grin)
Yup.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ginger, I am so glad you had the board and friends close by that were helpful. If need be, I can come down over a weekend to help you with anything you need.

Travel is going to be crazy over the next two weeks. Why does everyone wait until December to get things done?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I checked in for our flights earlier, and Southwest said "upgrade for as little as $16". So I clicked through about three screens, and for 2 of us it would have been over $900. Hilarious, Southwest.

They didn't lie, they just stated the starting amount.

Where was the $16 upgrade seat, on top of the landing gear?

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

Technically, I hope all the seats are on top of the landing gear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Above it, at least.

Newly-acquired knowledge I did not need but now cannot stop thinking about: Talenti makes peppermint bark gelato.
I need to finish up the last of the farmer's market ice cream so that I can justify buying some of this.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
My folks are not tech savvy, so an Amazon gift card wouldn't work. (They get books in e-mail, and transfer them to the Kindle. I don't know if they even have Amazon accounts set up.)
