It makes sense, it just is a pain.
Sure.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If so, how was it, and if not, are you planning on doing this?
I just got back early yesterday morning. It was fun! I had tickets for Eddie Izzard (who rocked, though not as hard as I've seen him rock, and he was in men's clothes to boot) and a Daily Show Exposé (funny and informative), and also watched a couple "industry" shows. And then, of course, there was hanging out with old friends and wandering through old haunts.
And getting bitten by mosquitoes, but I guess life isn't perfect.
I'll need a new license next birthday - I sincerely hope it's all mail, and that the address change I did online took and everything.

You guys don't have to get a new picture? Or do you send one in?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I renewed my license online not too long ago. That was great.
Unfortunately, to change my address I have to physically go to an office.
I actually picked up a pamphlet and studied for my licensing exams. The first one because, well, first shot at license. Then here because people seem to drive so crazy, I thought maybe the laws were actually different. It's just that no one follows them. But I am righteous in my informed indignation, now.

Kat, trips with the pets sound pretty much just as interesting as trips with little kids - each with their responses and special fun stuff to do while the car is moving and so forth. I've never thought about it this way.
ita, glad to read you enjoyed it! And, um, welcome back home, now that I know that you've both left and came back.

Can I have some cake, too, since I'm glad you were born?
Sure! be at our place around 7:00 as there will be cake and a special guest star.

Thanks, Nilly! It's good to be back. The trip broke my surfing rhythm. I need to get back to that. Not to mention the lack of punching people in the head...

Now I have that song from The Music Man in my head ("Talk a Little"), only the lyrics are now:
Surf a little, punch a little,
Surf a little, punch a little,
Surf, surf, surf, punch a lot, surf a little more

Kat, seeing as I also love cake and am also glad you were born, the piece of cake I'm going to eat tonight (which is my roommate's birthday cake - the Hebrew date of her birthday was yesterday), will be in your honor. It will, however, be way before your 7:00 gathering at your place, since I don't love cake so much as to eat it on 5am. Will that be OK?
ita, for how many days did you not krav?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
for how many days did you not krav?
FIVE. It was horrible. Plus, really, before that I had a cold, so I didn't so much krav as stand around and point out when other people were doing it wrong. Between the lack of exercise and the sitting on a plane, my back was not happy yesterday. But I took a stretch class, so it feels better. And they're throwing a shitload of classes at me this week, so my average will remain intact.
I don't love cake so much as to eat it on 5am
Ack! Then you don't love cake. Give it to me.
