I love you, Toast. I can say that now, because I know how to call love by its right name.

Thank you all--Nicole, Nikki, and especially Mallory--for inspiring me in ways I haven't been inspired in years. It's a special and important thing you've done here. Don't ever doubt it.

Okay, this was the first thing to make ME laugh-cry. Now we're all doing it, damn it.

JEALOUS.

YES. My brother-in-law is a wildlife biologist who once had a brief moment of notoriety when he had to kill a moose that was loose in a residential area (and by "notoriety," I mean "death threats.") Tranquilizers are not only not immediately effective on large animals, they're likely to make the animal even more dangerous and less predictable for a short period of time, which is why they're inappropriate for use when the animal's in close proximity to humans.

So tragic for everyone involved. (And I do side-eye the security of the enclosure.)

I know it's perverse of me (and I do feel your pain), but my fervent hope is that Mallory will come in here and be gloriously scornful of our collective textile pedantry.

"Ferris Beuller's Day Off" was my favorite for so many years, but I think that's because I saw it at just the right age. I was twelve, and as a Very Good Kid who grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, skipping school and running around a big city and living in a big, fancy house with lots of cool gadgets just seemed like a wonderful fairy tale to me. I also had a bossy older sister, so Jeanie was definitely not my favorite. (My opinion has since changed about both Jeanie and my sister.)

Alas, that movie just does NOT hold up. I was so excited to re-watch the movie as an adult and show it to one of my friends who had never seen it, and it became really clear just how much of a privileged, entitled ass Ferris is. Boo. Boo, I say.

I have *always* loved Cameron!

Yeah, I'm only third generation and aside from a few pleasant holiday traditions and a hard-to-spell surname, I'm about as assimilated as you can get. It wouldn't even occur to me that it would be otherwise.

Oh, Mallory. You have no idea how much I needed this right now.

THAT CANNOT BE REAL. *whimpers*
