Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Speaking of food, is there a United Kingdom equivalent for Thanksgiving?
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.
"Just as planned."
Nope.
"Did you expect somebody else?"
Which means they get to avoid an awkward family dinner.
Never really understood Thanksgiving.
It kind of gets in the way of the pacing of the year's events, it's too near christmas and halloween.

I'm rather looking forward to mine. :) Especially since I'm having the day off on Friday and Saturday in addition to Sunday. 
Speaking of which, I need to unplug all my telephones on Thursday and Friday night. >.>
I like having a buffer between Halloween and Christmas. They're two holidays that dominate their months, so it's nice to have a month to breathe in between them.
Of course, companies start trying to get you to start Christmas shopping in August, but having Thanksgiving there means most people who aren't trying to sell you stuff won't be pushing jolliness at you until the last week of November.
I don't have anybody to have Thanksgiving with this year, so it's been off my radar until a couple of days ago. I went out last night and bought a frozen turkey dinner. I would have preferred to get just a family-size entree portion, but I couldn't find any of those so I ended up with a Hungry Man meal with two sides and a dessert.

I don't have a big enough pan to roast a whole turkey.

Oh hey are we frothing at Fifty Shades? 'Cause I'm always up for that.
Apart from the fact that it's atrociously written, harkening back to its roots as a Twilight fanfiction (Master of the Universe):
- it's a generic shitty harlequin romance novel and nobody seems to have noticed this.
- Not!Edward is a fucking sociopath. Believe it or not there is a distinct difference between a sexual kink and being a fucking sociopath. Go figure.
- Adding onto the above, it romaticises abusive relationships because the author herself doesn't seem to know the difference.
- Actually, yeah, the shitty writing is something worth bringing up again. Why oh why did people actually decide this was readable, let alone sexy?
Baffle, if you do undertake your "Rational 50 Shades", may god help you, because at that point you will be trying to unshit fanfiction that is fanfiction of fanfiction of fanfiction. The phrase "shit-polishing" comes to mind.

All of those offences and more.
I've had to convince my mother and both of my sisters to not read it.

Food-wise, just Christmas. That's the 'eat-til-you-barf' holiday here.

I thought I was a dark writer back when I was putting children in fugue states. Now here I am, almost chopping a pregnant woman in half with an axe.
Looking for some stories?

I've been getting supportive emails and phone calls from folks around the coast all evening. It seems the email I sent has achieved legendary status.

Depends. They'll either try to force me out or butter me up, I guess...?

Well, the only direct addressee was the chief, but I cc'd in every watchkeeper in the organisation...so, no, I haven't heard from the boss, but he won't get it until tomorrow morning.

Back to the pizza thing, pizza is the greatest food on the planet and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
Also, I have eaten a deep-dish pizza with my hands before.

You're meant to eat pizza with your hands, aren't you?

Not that Chicago stuff. It's more like a casserole than a pizza.

Have you tried calzones though?
Also, despite being from California, I will fold my pizza to eat it if it's big enough to warrant it.

I'm not saying it's not a delicious food, cause I've had it and it is but don't call it pizza.

Technically, the only true pizza is from Italy. Everything else in this country is fake.

Pretty much.
