me, every day the past two weeks
Actually it’s more like EVERYONE ELSE the past MONTH who’s paid to do this easy job and can’t do it when there are plenty of people without jobs who would be better people to work with than these folks who have just kept quiet and escaped notice from their job and lied on their progress reports.

I wish I were a giraffe. Or a turtle.

The “American Dream” made sense in the 50’s. Now your college degree is like a high school diploma, only you’re $50k in debt. You’ll have to borrow money from your parents to buy a house with a white picket fence. And by the time you’re responsible enough to have 2.5 kids, you’ll be infertile. Look for alternatives.
In the current abortion debate, there is no talk of children. Those who are anti-abortion never mention them. They seem to be the same people who want to cut food stamps and get rid of social programs that might help children and mothers. They never talk about nineteen-year-old fetuses. They don’t talk of war or hunger or about how much it costs to buy shoes and socks and how hard it must be to have children without a washer and dryer. They never seem to take into account who the father is, or who the boyfriends might be. I never wanted to have a baby if I wasn’t positive I could give it a wonderful life and my undivided attention. I didn’t get that from my own mother. When I was little, I didn’t understand that there is no such thing as undivided attention. My feeling was I needed to become a good mother to myself before I invented a child that needed one.

And there you have it. The main cast of Cookies and Crime. A few changes and a few new characters. And it should be noted that Redusa’s (previously Ori) name was Quillystuff’s idea. And Lemony is a character loosely based on Crypticsparrow’s OC. 

The wrong kind of Caucasian

“Chechens and other Muslim immigrants from the former Soviet Union are human beings. They are not walking symbols of violent conflict. Do not look to a foreign country to explain a domestic crime. Look to the two men who did it - and judge them by what they have done, not from where their ancestors came.”
