There, see?
Yes'm. I just feel so ... needy. And whiny. And ridiculous, but oh well.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
You feel needy and whiny?
laughing maniacally Sorry, bebe. I have the monopoly on that for the next little while, unless I climb into a bathtub with a fifth of tequila and a razor blade first.
Your stuff is good. I figured they might want some simplifying and possibly restructuring some layouts, but it totally didn't suck. And as you write more, it's going to flow even more easily.

But you're not going to do that, because being constantly summoned back from the afterlife so I could yell at you would probably get tiring.
But yeah, I know. I hope things get better for you, and very soon.

I'll be fine. It's cool.
Did she say when she was likely to send you suggestions? And do you feel the need to flail in the interim?

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

Very Soon. So, probably by end of next week.
And do you feel the need to flail in the interim?
Mebby. I'm going to try and channel the flailing into writing the next GCS lesson, because, oooh, I really should post a new one.
Huddle in my corner! Me too!
Again, I wish we lived closer to each other. We could go out for coffee and freak out at each other. It would be fun.

Always Anti-fascist!
and I'm freaking out because I feel that nobody will Read Me Ever Again...that what looked like a beginning was really fluke-a-rama and I might as well twiddle my thumbs as go on with any of the crap I'm working on.

Challenge #123 (the first bite) is now closed.
Challenge #124 is maps.

maps
I adore maps. Where I've been, where I could go. Strange little names, Horse Heaven Hills, Roberts Run, Ninevah. Why were those hills so good for horses? Who was Roberts? What 18th century scholar lived there and had the power to name a town?
I look at the maps in my genealogy files. Two families, less than a mile apart, but the streams show the ridge that lay between them. Much easier to marry people five miles away up the road by the river than to struggle over the hill. If you only know the words, you wonder why neighbors don't talk. You need to know the lay of the land to see the barriers between.
