Make sure you include the FBI attribution, Epic!
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am so offended. What a dirty song. I'm glad the children are being protected from such ludicrous things as, "I don't like leaving the girl I love, when I get back I'm gonna stay." Thank god and bring out the AC/DC.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
"We don't know what they're saying, but we don't it can't be good."
So, "we know it when we don't hear it" is up there with "we know it when we see it" in what-is-indecency land?
Cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jamaican moon?
Huh.
Must be a drug related reference, possibly also indecent exposure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So.
I've been going to analysis for four years this month. I've made some progress, but for the longest time, I've been blocked. I go to therapy four times a week now, and I'm still keeping my emotions bottled up. It takes quite a lot of energy to keep my feelings inside, and it's very stressful to me.
I've long realized that I'll be better off if I just let my feelings out. And I know that my life is never going to get better unless I confront my issues. But I can't.
When I was growing up, the only way I could cope was to try to distance myself from my emotional trauma and pretend that it didn't exist. That time has long passed, and I need to face my feelings so that I can move on with my life. The only way out is forward.
I can do this, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You absolutely can do it, Tom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, you can. Plus, unlike giving birth, there's low likelihood of you receiving an episiotomy in this process. I think you have to count that among the pluses.
Emotionally Labile, here you come.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom, bless you for all this work. One piece of advice--in trying to make a big leap forward like this you have to force things for a while. In other words, lettign your feelings go will never feel "natural" and if you wait to do that until it does, you never will. Learning a new way to deal with oneself is a difficult process. So force yourself to start sharing feelings, even though it will feel fake and horribly uncomfortable the first few times. You won't feel like you, even though they are your feelings. After making yourself do it ,though, it will get easier and easier, until it becomes part of you.
This is how I had to make the change, anyway--deliberately changing my behavior and waiting for my psyche to catch up.

Do you mind if I adopt this for wider use? As in, "I have to get up in the middle of the fucking night to test the new blahblah before it goes live. But at least there's a low likelihood that I'll receive an episiotomy in the process."
