birkwelch that special disease that causes a cute "ping!" noise whenever the laidees go to touch the testiclades. (cookies to anyone besides morlock who gets the reference.) Or yaws. Or botulism. Or some nice yummy necrotizing fasciitis or something. Not so much on my behalf (I don't wish yaws on people I'm mad at for direct offenses) but on sunny's. He's being a git. Plus it gives me an excuse to talk about necrotizing fasciitis in my journal.
I did have a good evening last night. Spent the first half of it having some quality cuddle, computer and kickthecatsout time with the boy (even though there's only one cat over there).sundart called me at around 9:30, though, supremely upset... long story short, the boy and I ran back home and spent the rest of our evening cheering her up. And she was very cheered, and entertained, and I think we managed to be the big fat silver lining, which is always good. I'm tired though - we were all up pretty late.
Quote of the morning:
"I wish I could be more like Xena in real life. Only they would never let me wear that outfit to work." --nepenthe01
I'm kinda too groggy right now to really post much of anything else. But I really want to say necrotizing fasciitis again. It's fun. Kinda rolls trippingly off the tongue. And while it doesn't have the "wiping your ass with silk" quality of cursing in French, it has a weird, decaying charm of its own. Not to mention has four lovely iambs. :)
edit [4:28 pm]: corrected the spelling of "fasciitis" (I'd originally spelled it with 3 i's (!!!) and then copied and pasted it). And yes, those are trochees, not iambs. Or lambs. Or whatever they look like. (thanks, beatfag!)

Iambs are feet that have one unstressed and one stressed syllable, like "my cock." Trochees are feet that have one stressed and one unstressed syllable, like "cockface."
