Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Tonight, in honor of my cold just a handful of days before my juries, I am drinking hot lemonade: water, lemon juice, and honey, sipped hot from the microwave.

I was supposed to get a tattoo last night in my dream. But I kept running away because it was going to hurt so bad!

Mail that's addressed to someone goes to their room and ads go on the table until everyone has looked through them, made shopping lists, and clipped coupons.

Emiliana, that was one of the differences Marduk and I found so interesting when we visited a nearby Catholic church and chatted with a lady there. Yes, exactly opposite to belief in other churches with a sacrament-type ritual, the LDS church discourages taking it when you need to repent from seriou...

Working with these kinds of materials is not my forte, but from preliminary research it looks like it would be possible for me to figure out how to make this bracelet. Rhinestones in workable sizes and in (I think) all the colors needed are available; I'm just not yet finding a suitable cross to fix...

Arg I feel so many of the feels of this woman, in both empathy and sympathy. A few thoughts I have: From what I've read, the main reason for the wage gap is not women being paid less for the same work because they're women. It's women being paid less because they do things like go into less demandin...

Today, I recognized that I had taken on more than I should have this semester, that I did it against my better judgement because I didn't want to say no, and gave myself permission to gracefully back out of the commitment causing me the most grief. Then I spent a wonderful few hours getting homework...

My last homework assignment and math test are due in two hours, and I have to get up at 6:30 to take Marduk to the train station.

I know I asked some really dumb questions (mostly I tried to be a "clever" asker) but this first one of mine is only a little obnoxious: https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/39539/

I've been bobtheenchantedone for more than a decade now, so it was an obvious 'nym choice.

About 3/4 of a chapter's worth of French homework is due in two hours.

The whole two blog posts on Hyperbole and a Half about depression were amazing, but this bit in particular really hits home in my most down moments.

Today, I tasted a cucumber slice at work that looked suspect before remembering that our containers of food are dated.

The cucumber had been sliced on the 12th. It tasted very, very strange. And I can still taste it a little.

I get asked all the time now why I don't drink, by people who are ex-Mormon themselves. I usually say that my body is messed up enough as it is; I don't need to make it worse with a recreational drug that is expensive to boot. This also usually happens at large-ish parties where one or more people a...

I really like the Bic Ultimates.

Once the weather cools down I will again be making special hot chocolate at work - I wander over to the shake flavors and add things like marshmallow sauce, caramel, mint, vanilla, coconut, etc.

Until then I just drink Dr. Pepper with cherry or vanilla syrup.

I can bring Exploding Kittens.

I've been having nightmares all summer about not getting back into UVU's chamber choir. Yesterday I bombed part of the audition really badly and spent the whole day worrying about when I'd get the email. Got the email inviting me to chamber callbacks. Cried. Not only am I (probably) going to get bac...

Actually, you can have hugs every day, not just Bad ones.

Then you get hugs.

The ONE TIME I assume the person slowing down and pulling over to the right side of the road just forgot to turn on their blinker to turn right is the time that that person was slowing down and pulling over to the right side of the road in order to continue going straight. At least she didn't hit me...
