It's been brought to my attention I'm making an inordinate amount of typos myself, lately.

I blame work.

Specifically, the keyboard at work.

I'm going with that excuse as well and will make sure to annotate that in future queries:

"Dear Agent/Editor/Publisher/Random Individual,

Here's my book. It's okay, I guess. Any typos, grammatical errors, plot holes, tense issues, pacing speedbumps, characterization flaws, boring dialogue, tropes, cliches, and lack of originatlity is 100% due to my keyboard and not the fingers that type on it.

Smooches,

CM"

Good morning. Trying to mainline coffee this morning.

They did a round of layoffs this morning at future former place of employment. I'm so glad that it is not my concern any longer, but I feel for my coworkers.

I would totally give you more of a chance based on that query. Especially the smooches. Rawr.

Hmmmmm......

Perhaps I've been querying all wrong these past few years.

Guys. SO BUSY.

But apparently the University where I work has a Muggle Quidditch team, whom I went to interview today. Awesome job is awesome...

I have no idea.

Hi guys. Hope I didn't miss anything important...

I think the bit about plot holes was stretching it a bit.

Seriously, the spacing on the keyboard here is different than on my laptop. (Also, I'm standing, and typing at an angle, and while in class.) It's not just a lame excuse.*

I take full responsibility for all spelling issues, though. Those are my fault.

*It's a well thought out, finely honed, lame excuse.

Anything important? Nah! It's been very quiet around here, dull dull dull. Honestly.

Good morning Cantina. How is everyone doing?

Don't get rabies nightmares, Fen. Just get inoculated. BEAT THE RABIES BEFORE IT BEATS YOU!

Inoculated would be bad. Great, now I'm gonna dream someone is injecting me with rabid saliva from a sea pig

I am Vaccinated for rabies, and my titers were checked, but dreams don't care about logic or reality.

I shan't ask what you were up to last night, but you could have invited me.

The invite is always there and our door is never locked. Sometimes the teleporter is though...

hi, Froggy, have we met? I'm Junely. Grab a stool, have a drink, watch out for the kraken out back, she's PMSing, or whatever krakens do at that time of the century.

(If it's a "she" at all; i'm not turning it upside down to check, let CM do that)

My kracken is a girl, and no one will be dangling her upside down.
Besides, she has internal genitalia. Sheesh.
If anyone suggests vent sexing, Leo and Krackling will each crush one hand. They wanted to make that clear.

Like I'd know. Feeling up reptiles for sexual (or any other) purposes is not in my skill set. especially ones that can crush parts of my anatomy.

Are krakens reptiles? Fish? Amphibians? I was never clear on that.

I think they are a combination of all three: Repfishians.

Morning Peeps!

I got 10 hours of sleep last night and I feel fantastic. I figure I should celebrate these few moments because I don't think I'll get more than a handful of them between now and when I'm retired and all the kids are gone.

But I need to take advantage of this good feeling and get some cleaning and stuff done. So I'll talk to y'all later. Happy Wednesday!

Good morning, all. Ace, where have you been?!!?<--amount of punctuation shows my concern

amergina · Feb 15, 2012

Morning! (checks clock. Yup. Still morning for me)

KITTY PICS! *awwww*

I'll ignore the sea pig and The Hoff.

Had the car inspected this morning. It passed, so it's legal to drive it for another year.

Two weeks until my job goes poof. Today, we're having a luncheon at work. I swear, it's like the site manager is sticking it to the home office by spending as much discretionary money as he can.

Which, you know, is fine.

We were all screwed over.

2. I could deal with a changing house, 'cause you know, that would just be the way it is.

I couldn't deal with being told that the house wasn't changing if I thought it was. 'cause then it's me that's broken, not the universe.

This is scary.

jallenecs said:

This is tragic.

Both are terrifying, but for different reasons: one supernatural, the other psychological.

Or it could just be a sign you have children.

This is the way to go out, whenever possible.

By taking as many of them with you as you can.

Cephalopods.

Which technically makes them mollusks.

Like really, really, really big scallops.

Or endless calamari.

I have toddlers -- my house is always unsubtly changing around me. If it starts changing subtly for the cleaner, I am totally good with that.
