I beg to differ, having grown up with dogs and not finding my soulmate in an animal until I found my eldest cat. He walks in my dreams, sleeps next to my pillow, has his own special stool by my bathtub because he wants to be near me always, even when I’m bathing. The other night, I couldn’t fall asleep, so we curled…

Spastic muscle twitch. I hear the word “spazz” or “spastic” in reference to a person, I think they are being twitchy. I definitely do not associate it with developmental issues! Funny how it can be interrupted in so many ways.

Geez, I’ve been out of MD for too long. MVA. In MD, it’s the MVA. Derp.

DMV in the DC Metro is where you go to take a number and sit for hours while waiting for your license change or driver’s test. :-P

It’s “before anyone else” or “poop,” if you’re Danish.

“I’m not picky or anything, so don’t worry about shaking it...”

True story: I dated a cowboy. We got into a fight one night about...something, and he ended it when he told me that women are stupid and worthless like cats, and that he wanted to rape and kill me. Yeaaah. I think I’ll give the cowboys a pass, tyvm.

She’s taking it slow to make sure she does it “right” this time? As in, she wants to make sure she really knows the guy she’s dating and that he’s not a temperamental fool who is going to beat the crap out of her when he’s angry? Or as in, she makes sure she knows all his buttons so she doesn’t “give him reason” to…

She was laughing because after all she and the Hound went though to get to the Vale, they arrived only to be informed at the gates that Lysa Arryn was dead.

I have discovered that buying pre-cut frozen veggies not only prevents my food from going bad and my money wasted, but also saves me a lot of time in washing and cutting. If I have fresh veggies that are right on the edge of edibility, I chop those up and freeze them as well. Actually, now that I think about it, I…

Did you need a spoonful of sugar after seeing that? I think I would have needed a spoonful of sugar.

Word. I’ve gone through 3 climate zones (it was January and I went Baltimore-Portland-LA) with one carry-on. I brought two pairs of pants, one pair I wore and one I packed, a few tee-shirts, and a few base shirts to go under the tee-shirts in the colder weather, plus a heavy hoodie. The things I purchased while…

Pro-tip (okay, really just my tip): If you are going for an extended stay somewhere, ship your clothes via post and take a carry-on with enough clothes to last you 2-3 days. The shipping will cost less than the baggage check, and the post isn’t as likely to rummage through your stuff or steal things.

Unless you buy it at the much marked-up prices in the airport book and magazine stands. Books are like water now, apparently.

I dunno. I got an ex of mine high for the first time and he had a massive panic attack because he thought he had stopped breathing. It was bad. I sat there laughing, saying, “Honey, if you weren’t breathing, you’d be turning blue, and you wouldn’t be able to talk to tell me that you can’t breathe. You’re fine. I…

I /love/ the muscle twitching. I lay back and let it happen; it feels like a massage to me. Now that you know it happens to other people as well, try relaxing into it. :-)

That sounds like a really fun story.

LOL Is it horrible that I kind of want to make that outfit mine for Halloween? Nice Secular Jewish chick that I am? I think that’s hilarious.

That eye thing? Yeah, that’s a no. Great big creepy no.

That sounds a bit like some of the Irish weddings I’ve been to, only at the weddings, there is usually some beer and liquor involved. :-P
