Two of those weekends in one month. I don't remember that ever happening, for as long as I've been here. Does that kind of chaos better serve the Deities' aims, I wonder? Is it due to sensory adaptation, to the fact that curses don't shock us as much as they used to? One would think bringing new Citizens into captivity would compensate for

Do you find them trustworthy?

Patterns of curses are what I have in mind.

You think a lot.

Talking about curses has replaced talking about the weather, here. What else is there to think about?

[orangetoughguy]

What do you do for fun?

[as_damaged]

A lot of thinking.

I watch old movies. I exercise a lot. I read. Why do you ask?

As for the curses, well, I'm only speaking for myself but I still find them pretty shocking.

I don't mean to imply that curses aren't a problem, or that novel ones can't be shocking. But it's psychological fact that when you've been exposed to a stimulus long enough-- no matter how bizarre-- its intensity seems to lessen.

Also depends on how you think of it to begin with.

Been here a long time?

They weren't too bad. At least you were only meant to be the dog's stepmum.

[as_damaged]

Being only tangentially involved was still more involved than I'd have liked.

Come on. It was funny. Shame they didn't keep it - think of the paychecks spent on dog therapy.

I think it's Ed's dog, actually.
