Welcome to our little town
Why don't you settle down?
Here, just fill out the paperwork and you can look around
We work and then we work and then we work and then we work and then we work and then we work
And then we end up in the ground.

Random, fun: happy Star Wars Day!
And, uh, live long and prosper.
EDIT: Hey, maybe May's great-granddaughter can be May the Fourth.

Re: Random & Fun
I'm sorry Fernie, but I have to be grateful that you guys are having an Olympics.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Just found out that one person in the office next to ours has just had a baby, who has been named "Esme Adora".
Think the parents *might* possibly be Discworld fans.

Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.

Sometimes I feel like dressing up my Gaia avatar.
Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.

I've read books written exactly like that.

Re: Random & Fun
Good point.
It sucked then too!
I guess a lot of this could be averted if writers could just realise that 99% of people aren't going to be mentally describing their own ebon locks and massive breasts and taut abs all the time. (Of course, you could have a character who actually thinks like that because they're narcissistic or really focused on their looks for some other reason. That might be interesting.)
Good grief, don't get me started on the "Mass Effect" sex scene where we get a bunch of fanservice shots of Shepard even though she's the *viewpoint character*, my head is still hurting from facepalming so hard.

Re: Random & Fun
But... but I don't write like that! And that's relevant, because everything that's published on the Internet is necessarily, specifically about ME.
