the clearest word I can use is "comfort" and I couldn't tell you why. it just made me so happy.

Mom bought me a gorgeous jewellery box but it kind of smells like poo when it's opened. We think it's something to do with the materials it's made with (is was new when I got it). I keep things in there but just have it closed mainly.

I am getting a cold because stupid piece of **** ****bags are coughing and not covering their mouths. I have gone OD on lemon, honey, vit c tabs, throat spray, and panadol. I'm utterly cold today too.

I'm coping with my disposition. You're being a turd. There's a difference.

It's identical to this one (but I paid significantly less for mine). Apart from a tiny bit of water damage on the underside, it's a beautiful, clean work of art. It smells like old books and perfume (a pleasant kind of perfume, not overbearing or gross). I wish I could be tiny and crawl up into it; I love the way it smells. It's in really terrific condition, too. It just makes me so damn happy.

Wait, what? You do get that your post sounded like a double-entendre about an old lady's vagina didn't you? See, Sansa? That's how you be juvenile the Batlord way.

I found it the day it was put on the salesfloor (but as an associate I have to wait 2 days to make it fair for the customers) and I was so delighted when it was still there. I knew it was meant to be.

(my mom has a larger version of that box - or one very similar, that she got when she was just a little girl, growing up in the mid-1960s - so cute!)

this has nothing to do with vaginas and everything to do with cute stuff of yesteryear

Oh yeah, I spent six hours today using only a manual scraper and sandpaper to remove the paint from a windowsill. Granted, I work slower than most people, it's just a thing and years in the workforce haven't done **** to fix it, but this is still one of the more tedious and mind-numbing things I've done in recent memory. The only thing that let me keep my sanity were tunes. I sincerely hope that my neighbors like Clutch and Danzig, or they probably like me less now than they did before today.

Well now you're just giving me freebies on purpose.

So, Vickie, (Victim) is our lab dummy. She has a waterballon filled with animal blood attached to her skull.
We are going to hit her with a baseball bat and study her blood spray patterns.
I would like to throw her off the balcony. Right infront of the library just to see what happens.
Suspended, I think not, science BITCH!

The Batlord · 07-02-2014, 10:58 AM

Taking apart a piece of furniture in my room that I've been meaning to remove for like ever I discovered behind it yet another Black Widow spider. The bitch is now deader than ****, but I now need a new dust pan. I got... excited.
