So, what's measured is sentence length and word length, but how is that assigned a grade level? Is it measured against speech patterns of kids in those grades?

No, I've never seen that! It certainly makes sense though.

I thought of that, but I believe she lives in NYC and these girls don't.

Ok, that was weird. Please tell me that audience knew those lyrics because they're the self-selected group that chose to go see Will Smith being interviewed, and not that everyone on the planet knows something I have only the vaguest familiarity with. I mean, it was just a 90s children's TV show, right?

Your earrings...?

They only have bottles of sugary Starbucks crap at night. I already had one. Yuck.

The only sugary thing I have is mouthwash. And everything pisses me off.

I'm working all night tonight and of all times to be out of coffee, I am out of coffee. And it's almost three hours until the nearest cafe opens. So I made coffee with old coffee grounds, which is disgusting and is doing nothing for me.

Come on, of course it's funny. (This is Kirov1934, btw.)

Fuck off. Twice.

Well sure, but I need sex. And one-night stands don't do it for me — I like them, but they're like candy when what I need is a full meal.

It's a private joke of sorts.

I wonder how ihateemo's BIG DATE went today.

Very true. I don't cook (the men I date do), but I'm a long convert to the wonders of duck fat. Duck everything, really.

Bunnies are fragile in a terrifying way. Totally unlike kittens and puppies. They get broken easily, they get sick easily, and have seizures, and sometimes you have to kill them to put them out of their misery. Bunnies are terrible pets.

Ripe for the picking. Sigh.

I think you know me well enough to know that I am not the knitting type.

Dumped the journalist today, which was the last of the current herd of boys... so totally single. Also deleted my OKC account because I hate the sordidness and tedium it brings into my life. But now what? Bars? I'm not even on Facebook. And I'm not at all cool with being single right now, for sexual and emotional…

I think what he said is funny. At the least the style of it.
