It's weird to think that it's totally conceivable that I will outlive or be outlived by lots of the people who love me.
One or the other is a pretty sure bet....
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've always wanted those swords that shoot out from your sleeves, but if you're already a robot, I guess it's not that cool anymore.

Yeah, I know. It's hard for me to imagine that I would outlive anyone cause I was so convinced that I would die young.

Random change of topic.
Scholastic is having their giant 50% of warehouse sales starting on May 13.
Restoration Hardware is also having their warehouse sale on that weekend.
It's almost like I can't resist!

What is even happening?
I can't wrap my head around that, Cindy.
I don't see anything in the Bible that stipulates that some homo sapiens couldn't have evolved from other primates. I simply see that an Adam and Eve were created (from scratch). That doesn't mean that earlier species (also created by God, from my POV) couldn't have also evolved into what we'd recognize as homo sapiens from the fossil record.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It sucks watching my grandmother bury all of her friends and family.
This. One of the saddest parts of settling up my grandfather's affairs on Friday was when my mom and her sister and his whatchamacallit-not-strictly-legal-widow conferred about who needed to be contacted, and realized that aside from business acquaintances there was only one person to call. And he wasn't any kind of recluse: he was a gregarious, expansive extrovert with a huge circle of friends, and he'd outlived all but one of them.

Oh my word, Kat. That's too much temptation.

See. This is a compelling argument for having a family. Then there would always be people in your life that you haven't outlived who ostensibly

Well, my grandfather had a family, whom he adored and who adored him, but there's just something about friends, the people you're not related to and to whom you have no legal ties, whom you've chosen entirely of your own free will to love as family and who often know you in ways that your actual birth family just can't.

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 don't actually see any proof that god exists, so that's where my head doesn't wrap, Cindy.
