The things we did, the thing you hide

[thorne_scratch]

Kicked in the dick by the world yet again-- we had some massive rainstorms yesterday, and two weeks after installing new carpet, my living room and basement inexplicably flood. (Which I found out about by my painters calling me and saying, "Hey, uh, did you know most of your downstairs is kind of wet?") So, tomorrow I'll argue with my insurance

THAT MAKES ME BOTH HAPPY AND ALARMED. But mostly happy.

I have tried all sorts of things for hiccups, and this is the only one that works reliably quickly. Heh. The straw is actually very helpful in the not-sloshing aspect of the water drinking.

Hee! So true! Poor Cloud, even though it's his own natural ability, Zack tries to claim it's part of his personality that Cloud inherited. Zack's speeches are like the ones in Animal House. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!"

No, it really does make me happy! I always assume no one reads the long entries, yet I am neurotic and feel like I'm cheating if I only do a short entry. I dunno, man.

Hee! I just, I always had a fear of getting them during a final exam or something, and being stuck helplessly hiccuping while I tried to write an essay about the reign Charlemagne, or something.

It's why together, he, Cloud, and Sephiroth almost make up one normal person. They're like the Id, Ego, and Superego.

It seems like a lot of people in that area I know have had flooding issues lately. >0_o< I hope it resolves well and quickly and as inexpensively for you as possible. Mou.

I want a dolphin tail!

...and also, now I know of a primary requirement in all of my future original novels. XD Dog, barking, distance, check.

Also, *HUG* for good measure!

It was very unexpected! And frustrating. I suspect I will now have to buy the absolute cheapest bedroom set that I can, to make up for the chunk this will take out of my savings account.

Me too! They actually sell kiddie "mermaid fins" in those ritzy catalogs on airplanes. I saw one when I was flying back from Vegas and had to sternly tell myself no.

*HUG*

Bullet Points

[kaitou1412]

A.) When I worked at an antique gallery we'd get a woman who wouldn't believe that we weren't a tanning salon, and that we could not change her appointment. It just got so we told her her appointment was changed. I always felt bad for the poor people that worked there for when she'd show up.

B.) At Maker Faire the army had a booth talking about their new lightweight armors, and all I could thing was 'hmpf, it's not made of pudding. Now THAT's High tech.'

C.) I am sorry to hear about water damage. That is major suck.

D.) I wanted to have more points, so I'll throw more links at you. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-judge-i-sentence-you-to-go-and-play-poker-2046518.html

E.) And this: http://twitpic.com/tag/kanyenewyorkertweets - Kanye West Tweets set to New Yorker Cartoons.

I switch letters for numbers!

1) Dude, that is hilarious. I swear, some people just should not be allowed to sue the phone.

2) I know, right?! I loved that link. I have a Best Of folder that I sue exclusively for my favorite links that you send, and when I need to write an entry like this, I just dig out a handful of them. Rock.

3) Thanks. It does indeed. Well, hopefully this was a one-off.

4) Hee! I can think of a way this story can go very wrong indeed.

5) ROFL. My God, I love it. Oh Kanye, never change.

I always enjoy a good scaly dick update.

I'm vaguely ashamed that my magnum opus of fanfiction is either going to be a hundred and fifty page epic on gay marine porn stars, or a hundred and fifty page epic on Michael Phelps' dick going all scaly.

But not enough to stop writing either.

Man, flooding woes are the worst. I remember having a serious debate with one of our neighbors who was an insurance agent about the, "if the water comes down, we cover it. If it comes up, we don't," thing. I think my argument was something along the lines of, "That's dumb." I'd had a few and eloquence is not born of shitty light beer.

Hope RL stops kicking you in the metaphorical balls.

[thorne_scratch]

Thanks, man. I know, right? The insurance people were really, "Don't get your hopes up, short round," and I'm just going, "SCREW."

I'd had a few and eloquence is not born of shitty light beer.

I feel like I should have that on a wall-hanging somewhere. Also, I like yours better, but the Paul is Undead book thing really does feel like thinly disguised slash fanfiction.
