[What began as George hiding out in her room double-checking inventory became something else when earlier, music began playing. She bumps her journal while air guitaring, so the video just suddenly cuts in on a very upbeat little song. George rocks out for a second on the floor then jumps up on her bed -- which to anybody who's been in Rube's cabin ( Read more... )

Y'know I work with someone at home, named Daisy -- I hear she's been here before -- anyway. Actress. If you've seen a guy in a classic movie, she's probably blown him. That's not the point. She said something to me once, back when we hadn't known each other long. It was kinda bleak, but it stuck with me:

We're all temps.

She saw it as us moving ( Read more... )

I know that the things that go on here are often random, at best, so some people might not see a lot of use in asking "why", but for the sake of argument -- why this last flood? What does a person take from being someone they admire for a couple days, but only in body?

I'm not going to say that being made to like someone you hate is the worst thing in the world, but it kinda takes all the meaning out of it if you don't choose to make that change on your own. Hope it gave some of you the chance to see and appreciate how things could be different, though. I'd say it's one of the more admirable things about this ( Read more... )

Not that it's something that could be too easily changed back home -- obligations being the pain in the ass that they are, and a certain need ( Read more... )

I'm sure there are probably a few Wardens here that'd disagree with me, but if a few Inmates are THAT dead set on ruining their second chance here: Why not just fucking let them? Admiral, the next time someone does that, how's about we NOT turn around and go get them?

Just thinking out loud, there.

So I don't like to think I'm a quitter. I wasn't even here that long, okay? But the real world after this was just like getting used to this all over again. I don't recommend trying it for yourself unless you're prepared for it ( Read more... )

Y'know, when you wake up in a rehab center for dead jerks, complete with a gym, spa, and swimming pool, it makes the whole "fire and brimstone" view of Hell kinda ridiculous. I used to work with a lady who probably would have seen it just like this anyway. No eternal damnation; you're just shot into space with twelve steps, a "One Day at a Time" ( Read more... )
