    Laudanum works better , but you have to be absolutely sure that a man from Porlock isn't going to call at an inconvenient time

    It will be small, pink, look like Winston Churchill and scream a lot ... they don't get interesting for at least a year.

    Yes, I'm aware. I have a five-year-old son as well.

    That moment when your slightly drunk dad gets into an argument with your slightly brainless cat.

    That moment when said argument actually is as hilarious as it sounds.

    That moment when your wife has your baby girl, your first daughter, and your whole life changes in the blink of an eye when they put that tiny blue-ish lump on top of your wife's now vacant belly. You stare at her, and your eyes leak, then you sob harder than you think you ever have because this girl is precious. This girl is one of the best things to ever happen to you. She's perfect, and you know you'd do anything for her.

    Congrats! :D
    ----
    TMW you feel a pull to try to once again write that fantasy mystery with the MC who is blind and has cervical dystonia.

    TMW you're mentally yelling at yourself to stop because you've failed to do so before, so what makes you think you can succeed now? It's just history repeating itself. Stop when you're ahead!

    TMW you've no clue what to do with it.

    rapidly followed by TMITF (that moment in the future) about 16 years from now when she's going on a date with an unsuitable boy who's into rock music and motorcycles and your head is about to explode

    Oh, don't worry, I'm sure worrying technology will have progressed far beyond motorcycles and rock music by then. :)

    That moment when your "live" text chat with customer service switches from a computer decision tree to a non-native speaker of English.

    There`s actually speculation that Poe, also used opium in addition to his alcoholism due to how detailed he depicted opium use.

    I`m sure by the time she`s 16 it`ll be a hover bike and some ungodly rebirth of techno disco music.

    Congrats on the baby girl though Spencer, good luck in you`r fatherhood adventures.

    That moment when

    you fully intended to be completing a short story you are working on, but are feeling extremely lazy and unmotivated.

    TMW you resurrect old story ideas and are amazed at how much your writing seems to have improved since the last time.

    TMW you feel pleased. Welcome back, old stories! :D

    That moment when you break the vacuum cleaner at work for the 3000th time and it turns out to improve its performance by about 1000%.

    That moment when your boyfriend is the christmassiest person ever and you're the person who buys BAH HUMBUG mugs for secret santa presents.

    TMW you show your co-workers the first paragraph of your sci-fi, and they interpret this opening scene of Helen Chert stepping out of the shower:

    Hot steam caressed her nimble firm frame...

    into

    Hot steam caressed her nipples.

    and no matter what you say to them, they're convinced you're writing a steamy hot erotica.

    You have to admit, hot, steam, caressed all have some pretty...saucy connotations.

    In other words, you all suggest I should tweak it so it doesn't look like hot steamy erotica??

    She's a space captain, she's supposed to be fit and strong.

    That moment when...

    You smell something burning and realize "Oh, my pizza must be done."
