I'm A What?

Julie is a registered nurse, and works the night shift at a hospital Intensive Care Unit, which means 7pm to 7am, or 6 to 6, my time. She often calls me while she's driving home, before I go to work, so we can chat a bit. It's a really nice way to start the day, but this morning's conversation took a rather unexpected turn.

Me (feeling all lovey-dovey): You're my best Julie.
You're my smartest Julie.
You're my funniest Julie.

Julie: You're an asshole.

Me: ...

Julie: Oh, I just realized how that sounded. I was talking to the guy doing 20 mph in front of me, not to you.

This is So Freakin' Cool

A random story generator!

My latest story: "The Neuronauts"

In a dystopian medieval Europe, a young student of metaphysics stumbles across an enchanted sword which spurs him into conflict with his own insecurity vis-à-vis girls, with the help of a shape-shifting female assassin and her closet full of assault rifles, culminating in authorial preaching through the mouths of the characters.

Wow, this'll save lots of time.
