At a previous job, one boss was going through a lot of Masters of the Universe toys for both personal collection, selling, and occasionally getting older figures graded. The big boxes he got went into the rotation of boxes I used for shipping, as did peanuts and stuff that was reused. Some fun extras that were found in packages:

sock
white handled cheese knife
Original Empire Strikes Back brown Bespin gown Princess Leia - missing head

Princess Leia ended up sitting on my monitor and was strangely enough joined by 3 or 4 other headless figures that crossed my path. Still have Leia somewhere, not sure about the others. The cheese knife was horribly abused and dull, but that actually made it great for opening boxes as it would split tape, but not hurt anything else unless you were pushing too hard. So it became the official shipping box opener.

My girlfriend punched me in the jaw Friday night and now my jaw has been killing me when I wake up since then.

The best part is she punched me because she was drunk and mad about stuff that happened at work so she wouldn't stop talking about it she hit me because I said it shouldn't bother her as much as it does. She also kept trying to say I was coked out.

I'm getting sick of this shit.

When physical attacks happen, it's best just to end it all together. I have a zero tolerance policy towards that sort of behavior. My advice... walk away from it while you can.

It's not really possible to leave since we live together. Plus I just lost my job the other day and sort of screwed myself on money. If I could move in to my dads I would be gone.

Okay, I'll go ahead and say it and will take responsibility for being the level headed jerk wad on this one before people start to jump on you.

"If it happened, and you didn't call the police you will forever be miserable and from now on can only blame yourself. But at the same time you inferred that this has happened before, so... You would also only be accused of being coked out because you've done coke before".

Man up. The judicial system would help finance your rent if she is found in the wrong and would most likely be helped in finding a new home.

The day a woman hits me and I didn't pay for it first, is the day I walk away.

Ticked: Having to give my cat oral antibiotics. She's like a fluffy tornado.

Smile: Got my code for Sonic 4 episode 2 today!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Is that actually true? Is that a state-by-state thing? I suppose it only makes sense to helped battered spouses, but I never heard of it myself. (Does that mean I need to watch more Law and Order?)
