Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I'm not at JFK waiting to board my flight. I'm looking forward to being home again. I'm also looking forward to sleep.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So the missing bride-to-be lied about being kidnapped to avoid her wedding. The wedding with 14 bridesmaids.

If her parents paid for this, I hope they can get their money back. And her poor fiance--people were comparing him to Scott Peterson already. There are probably better ways to deal with cold feet.

What is even happening?

She's 32. She couldn't just say, "Oh, I'm not ready for this"?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

YUM! Just ate some steel cut oats! Delicious. Thank you, ita, for providing the inspiration.

Mostly lurking...

That is just awful. Having just gone through dealing with a disappearance of a friend myself, I hope that girl gets some serious help...not just a rescheduled wedding date!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Eeek!

I was so exhausted from my week that I slept from like midnight to 8 AM - more in one go than I have all week, and could have slept more except there's too darn much to do today!

Because books.

So the missing bride-to-be lied about being kidnapped to avoid her wedding.

I know! "Her poor fiance" is right. Now instead of *only* having to deal with the fact that his girlfriend balked at the wedding, the whole country is going to see him as the guy whose fiancee pretended to be kidnapped just to avoid the wedding. So absurd. And the hundreds of people out searching for her, with tracking dogs, and the reward? She better be damned ashamed of herself.

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

Go, Nora! I just bought another can of oats, because I'm going to work out how to make the stupid porridge.

I'm little miss judgey and unforgivey -- I would not make for happy fuzzy soundbites if a relative of mine pulled that sort of gag. For a start, I have incredible contempt for high-maintenance lies.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'd be furious. It's so thoughtless. You want to cancel the wedding? Fine, face the consequences. And if you DO run away like a big huge baby, call your family as soon as you see they are frantic with worry.
