Thanks for the earworm. That is worse than when Katy Perry's Roar got stuck in my head after hearing it in a restaurant. I spent the rest of the day singing it out loud and then saying "Goddammit Katy Perry."

Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing that up.

Yes, my absolute favorite of the series.

The world needs more Neptunian hipsters.

Heh.

Yes, yes I do. See, privilege when used in a negative manner, implies that your behavior demonstrates that you are somehow better than all the other plebes. Do you see her partying or getting caught for using a fake id for underaged drinking while on vacation and NOT getting arrested? Or whining because her daddy…

Why? You are dead. If everyone wanted to play hot potato with my corpse while 'Yakety Sax' was playing in the background, I wouldn't mind. Because I am dead.

Excellent choice, Peter S. Beagle was one of my first favorite authors.

Hard to choose among the ones I love, but for starters:

Yes, she's more privileged than every ass pimple on "My Sweet 16." More privileged than every royal offspring or Hollywood spawn ever. Ever. In the history of the world.

WhyNoChips, herpes pustule.

I judge the fuck out of everyone. Now I'm judging you too. You seem okay.

No problem, been there. Cherish her a little though even though she may embarrass you, she is the one who is helping you process it. It's the hardest part of the healing.

Please don't refer to yourself as "Whiney PTSD girl." You don't have control over how your body reacts to stress. Please don't discount yourself like that.

Common courtesy, have you heard of it? Why should I move because someone is an asshole?

That last line in your comment is heartbreaking to hear. It sucks feeling as though you are living your life waiting for the rug to be snatched away at any second. So this was a previously established friendship that turned romantic? Then you are probably right when you say stress may be causing it. I'll send…

I know, right? They advertise Precious Moments as the "American Sistine Chapel" if that gives you a clue as to how shitastic it is. Also, I forgot to mention she is my ex MIL and my kids turned out just fine. Only a few more years of intense therapy and they should be gtg.

When my kids were little, we bought tons of fireworks and went outside of town to set them off. Now that I think about it, we were literally burning up money every year. Now I am content to watch everyone else's fireworks instead.

So, what I am hearing you say is that your right to have fun is somehow more important than my rights? I do live in a city and I don't mind people having house parties or a BBQ, I could give a shit. What I am talking about is common courtesy, if it is after noise ordinance hours, keep it down. Jeezus Tapdancing Christ.

Um, I'm not. Because I'm not an inconsiderate asshole, unlike the people who set off fireworks until 2 or 3 am. I'll ask nicely the first time to stop, but the cops get called the second time. What's not fun is going to work the next day sleep deprived because your party didn't end.
