hip deep in pie

In Russia, tagline wears you.

What is this from??

I am riffing off Yakov Smirnoff.

Actually, I am ripping of my friend Leonard, who always riffs off of Yakov.

The thing is, after three years of therapy? You start to feel things.

Tom, lots of love. You'll get past this.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I only had action from 21-26.

Also, m job involves measuring people, and I do get a kick out of the fact that the only person I have measured that at ahe 19 had a smaller waist than me (24) was a man. His chest and hips, also, are very much smaller. But it seems that a small waist is not s much in fashion.

Up with the sun

Steph, I see what you mean. At 21, you look, not unatttractive, but somehow unfinished. Some of that is probably the glasses, but not all.

Now? Mrow.

And if I measure my attractiveness by "action", or options for such, I'm definitely much better-looking now than I was at 19. I'm not sure, myself. (Links: removed, because I noticed they have my full name in them, and I'm not so into that.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, you definitely look much happier. You have a very wry smile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I feel like I've seen that "In Russia, X Ys you" around a fair amount.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But it seems that a small waist is not s much in fashion.

Mine was quite freakish. I still can't imagine how that worked, and where my internal organs went. One of the instructors at krav was saying that his biceps, when he's exercising, are 18.5" I'm okay with the idea of guys having thighs close to the size of my old waist, but ARMS???

Admittedly, he's a freak of nature himself, in a very pleasant-to-look-at way.

In Russia, X sees you around a fair amount.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, I see what you mean. At 21, you look, not unatttractive, but somehow unfinished. Some of that is probably the glasses, but not all.

Those glasses really *were* hideous leftovers from the 1980s. Heh.

Better glasses.

And if I measure my attractiveness by "action", or options for such, I'm definitely much better-looking now than I was at 19. I'm not sure, myself.

Lyra, I think you have the same "unfinished" thing going on at age 20. Because in the older picture, you still have the same lovely face, but you look more like it's the face you're meant to have, if that makes any sense.

Actually, not really. I seem to be stubbornly dragging this moment out far longer than what seems possible.

I can easily see myself posting six months from now complaining about exactly the same thing.

Totally legit. I have (paper) journal entries from my fetal-position phase that can basically be summed up as: "Fuck, I do NOT want to feel this. I would give ANYTHING to not feel this." I get it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
