I have found the best defense against the SotU is to watch West Wing dvds, particularly the eps about the SotU. Aluminum foil rips and gets caught in my hair.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
See, I was thinking I needed to stage my own little protest by having unmarried non-procreative sex, preferably while speaking french. Since that doesn't seem to be on the cards, I might grab a glass of wine and some smutty slash fic and retreat to the bathtub.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Interesting mail? In a perfect world, that Smallville column would have gotten you baked goods and offers of marriage.
That was good stuff, Chris.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm going to read the Bill of Rights and rock myself while sobbing.
And then I'm going to look through magazines for a new hairdo.

Oo, I like the idea of unmarried non-procreative sex, but unfortunately I don't think I can arrange it in the next 22 minutes.

Trust my rage
I might go watch QaF, as my own little protest.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
So, I just made my friend (who knows nothing of my Sooper Seekrit Buffista life) watch Wax Lion.
E: Hey, you whoever wrote this was just meant for you.
Me (started): What?
E: This chick's just like you.
Me: Nuh uh.
E: She talks just like you. She works retail!
Me: SO?
E: She's 24.
Me: Lots of people are 24.
E: She lives in a trailer!
Me: I moved out of the trailer!
E (later): She loves her bartender.
Me: I do NOT love my bartender!
E: You kissed him on your birthday!
Me: I was drunk!
E: SO IS SHE!
I don't think I'm letting her watch anymore. Nothing like a friend to point out what a retail-working, bartender-kissing, birthday drunk you are. But she seemed to like it, if not quite toaster-worthy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Lilty, do animal shaped objects tell you to do things?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Thus far, no.
Unless my actual Cat counts. She isn't actually telling me to pet her out loud, per se, but the sentiment is there.
ETA: Ooh! And yesterday, my friend's boyfriend's dog winked at me. This is it, isn't it? I'm a crazy person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Me: I was drunk!
E: SO IS SHE!
Hee.
