Thank you to the admins for allowing us this long-awaited chance to be the ones who descend upon the dissenting commenter. It's a rare opportunity and we will cherish it always.
My friend's mom realized how much I like one of her cats, so now I get pictures of the cat followed (less than ten minutes later) by texts asking if I got the pictures. If I don't respond soon enough, I get a text from my friend saying her mother wants to know if I got the picture of the cat.
In the case of the library I work at, we have limited space. We're part of a system of 65 libraries, so sometimes one library won't have every volume of something because we can just borrow it from another library in the system. But it's definitely worth asking!
Well, at least that kid learned early what it's like to achieve your goals.
I don't feel right about giving a thumbs-up to facts about mutilated birds, so I came here to say that I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of mutilated birds and I'm going to go be alone now.
On Saturday, my friends and I couldn't shake two Nice Guys at a bar. During the brief period that I had one of them convinced that I was interested exclusively in women, our conversation actually turned pleasant and we got to talking about his dog. When I found out that his apartment was across the street, I exclaimed loud enough for the whole bar to hear, "Why isn't your dog here RIGHT NOW?!"
"it's weird to lie down when nobody else is lying down" made me think of this time when my friend told me it was weird that I stepped out onto the patio alone to avoid listening to "Drops of Jupiter." I thought it was weird that I was the only one.
Yeah, but I usually try to correct the ones who think they are doing something right and it is futile. The straightforward ones are terrible people, but I can be sure of that from the outset and I don't have to waste my time with them.
The man who advised me on my senior thesis is this kind of mentor. On the two occasions when he had small, celebratory get-togethers with his students, he told the same really charming story about his wife, apparently having forgotten that he'd told it before.
Right? Like somehow it's less maddening when someone doesn't try to veil what a shithead they are.
