Writer and anthropologist, even on days when I'm not getting paid to be either!

@NJCrosskey Happy to spread some lovely Chicago weather - we wouldn't want to keep it all to ourselves!! 😅

@Nedoxu Lewd? Yes. Amusing? Yes. Childish adult humor? For sure. "Way too lewd?" Nah. Not unless you're worried about parental controls with a 5-yr-old around. (^_^)

@route6d6 Look, boss! De grape! De grape!!

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

Overheard:

"My purple lipstick is called Wrath."

"Does it make you angry?"

"No, I think it's supposed to be, like, The Wrath of Grapes."

"Ah, gotcha..."

These people really need to make a cameo in my next story!

Patience with idiots.

Quit customer service.

Feed my creativity.

If we could wipe out "I seen" from the #English #language , Kiela would be a much happier participant in real world conversations...

@sushimustwrite Poor Sushi had a rough day of it. At least once everything has gone wrong and you've had as cruddy a day as possible, you've got nowhere left to go but up! Maybe you've used up all your bad luck for a while and a good luck streak is headed your way. (^_^)

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@sushimustwrite Aww. Sounds like you needed some #coffee before heading out for some coffee!!

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@KevinHearne And the best part is, it's sodium free!!

It's so frustrating when your bottled water tastes like a salt lick, because you know they do that on purpose to make you buy more water!

@DylanBirtolo Woohoo! Dylan's a big boy now!

Wait. Does that mean you get to pack your armor and weapons now?? That would make showing off at cons SO much easier. (~_^)

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@howardtayler @bitrandombit We'll see you again when you come up for air in about a year! We'll have electrolytes, blankets, and intergalactic trauma counselors at the ready. (^_^)

@TimidMonsters

Lisa, Etch, and Ichor guard the eternal flame of aromas.

...Mostly they guard each other from the temptation of touching the pretty glowing light...

#love these little creations. Can't wait to see #artist Trish again at #gencon ! (^_^) ♡♡♡

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@antonstrout Proper response: "I didn't even realize I follow you. Who are you, again?" ^_^

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

I see my current #writing #self as someone different from my future #editing self, so my notes are always "we could try..." and "make sure you..."

Does anyone else do this, or am I hopelessly weird?

@sushimustwrite @NaNoWriMo Yeah, if you could just get ready for NaNo... that'd be greeeeaaat. Yeah, and we'll need you to tweet late on Friday. Ok, super...

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@sushimustwrite Hey, I don't make the customer logic rules. (~_^)

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

Woman holding up checkout line at health food store: Are these #NonGMO? I only eat #organic non-GMO.

Me: But you're buying seedless grapes and a seedless watermelon.

Her: So?

Me: You realize that fruit in its #natural state is supposed to have seeds, right?

Her: *blink*blink*

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@DylanBirtolo Oh. Well. I mean, if you want to split hairs...

Yeah. People in class is fine. Good, really. That's what I meant. Of course. Pshh...

[Kiela Starcatcher @KStarcatcher]

@DylanBirtolo Oh goody! I get to listen to customer complaints all day, so punch a few extra for me. I'm sure they've earned it in some way at some point... (^_^)

Any time you take a shower and THEN need to use the bathroom, you should just get a do-over.
