So, today I bought lingerie.

When I got home, I realised that the person in the store had left the big plastic security tag on a pair of knickers.

So I took out my Dremel and cut the big plastic tag in half.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie- the mental image of a gal cutting the shoplift tag off a piece of sexytime clothes with a Dremel?

That's some hot shit right there.
mistersatan:
A BEVY of tits, one might say. And just in case you're not a fan of crappy American sitcoms from the early 80's:

So, yesterday I held a fourteen day old parrot. He was chirpy and happy and adorable. He didn't have any feathers yet so he looked like an alien, and between his purple blotchy skin, his great big black eyes and his scrawny neck he was the epitome of beautiful ugly. I rubbed the back of his head and he liked it so much he nearly...

Wow my last comment here was very boring. Imagine, I went through the effort of posting that from my phone.

I'm writing some junk. I'm pretty bummed on writing right now but I'm trying to channel that into working harder at it instead of just giving up forever.

They take a chunk of your paycheck against what you'll owe at the end of the year in taxes. Then you get this form from your employer(s) that says how much you made, and you fill out another form from the internal revenue service that helps you figure out what you owe. If what you owe is more than the amount they took out of your checks over the year, you send them more money. If it's less, they send you one.

Most people have a computer program or an accountant figure it out for them, because it gets complicated very quickly if you have any investment income or are self employed or have kids.

I've never personally had to save up to pay off my taxes but self employed people who don't have paycheck withholding do that. It's a progressive tax so the more you make, the higher the percentage of your total income you have to pay.

Love

Love fills you with joy and vivicy, and gives you strength when you feel too tired to carry on. It makes your passions brighter, but shelters you from scorn and criticism. Love makes days rush past in a joyous blur. Love makes you foolish and reckless, but it means you don't mind even when it doesn't pan out.

I hope you have something in...

I'm sure there's some sort of "being civil in a city of civil servants" joke to be made in response to this..



Actually, I was going to go for a joke about a city devoted to politics not usually being known for making people more honest. But this are serious thread, so instead I shall register my good wishes and, with sympathy, echo the Orchid's comment. (I grew up here so it's never really applied, but I've heard it from other people.)

elly:
Thank you so much! I'm making notes of everything you have to say, and you've had the most helpful advice so far. I look forward to any future tips, personal thoughts and memories, and/or general information you have to offer.

Did you know...



Some words are much less taboo than their etymology would suggest: many speakers would be horrified to learn that terms they use frequently, like "berk" (often used to mean "foolish person") ... [is] actually from Berkeley Hunt, meaning "cunt," ...



I love you, England.

I'll be a studying contemporary culture and whatever I want basically smile

I'm an English major, but I'm learning Japanese as my foreign language. While I'm in Nagoya, I'll be receiving credit for all different classes from sociolinguistics to Buddhism to anime. Also, I'll be keeping an online journal that my university may actually publish after I get back.

That's really awesome that you were there for so long. I'd love to hear any advice you have or details you want to share about your experience.
missellie:
You may be a longstanding poor source of advice but you're my longstanding poor source of advice. With that in mind, I am leaning towards yes on tickets.

How are you miss? I think you tried to call me this afternoon but my phone went spazzy, did you?

Two is the wrong number, but it's better than none.

I apply this principle to lovers, as well as to jobs.
