I'm done with Gaia. This contest is moving. Details inside.

Freezing rain, darkness in the middle of the day.... holed up in my little room, reading Nietzche and eating French onion soup. Not homemade soup... but this pretty fabulous stuff I found that you just throw in the microwave.

Nietzche requires soup, I have found.  

[Divash]

So does cold weather, Shrike. Especially if you're also daydreaming about your new wool coat.

Actually, almost everything is better if there's soup involved, I find.  

[TheShrike]

HEH, congrats on the coat and phone.

One day I will leave the dark ages and buy a cellphone. ONE DAY.  

[Divash]

It could happen. Honestly, I don't use my cellphone much, but when I do, it's because I really, really need it. Like, calling Hertz to say "This car you rented me isn't safe to drive. Where's the nearest Hertz location where I can trade this in for something safer?" Or like calling the SO to say "I'm in a meeting that's running long -- I'm not bleeding in a ditch somewhere." That's important, I feel.  

[TheShrike]

True, they're dead useful for emergencies. And I'm sure it would be nice to have when I travel, instead of feeding five dollars worth of quarters into a pay phone.

Love/hate relationship with technology. Yup.  

[Divash]

That's pretty much when I use mine, actually. Very seldom do I need a cellphone when I'm just going about my day, though it does happen once in a while. Usually I'm just out of state and don't want to make long-distance calls on my family's phones or pay a fortune at a phone booth. Too, it can be dangerous to use a pay phone in some places. There you are, shut in a glass cube which is well lit. If it's not bad enough that well lit places can be seen from a long way away, when you come out of there and into the surrounding darkness, your eyes aren't adjusted to see in the darkness, so you're vulnerable there, too.

Divash.
You make me wish I lived near you so I could buy your food.
xD  

[Divash]

I don't sell food, BZ. I may give it to friends who come over for dinner, but I never sell it. Food is love.  

[Divash]

My cat is SO affectionate. I missed her so much.  

[Black.Zucchini.]

Well I'd buy your groceries to make food.

Every cat I've met has always been mean to people.

My dog is affectionate.
Even when I drive. She tries to kiss my face.
