Yes, I could not play myself in my life story. Somehow people need to feel the actor could take the chair off, in some way I don't understand. I would want JJL to play me, anyway, though.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

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

I read that as JLH and wanted to stage an intervention for you. But it's okay.
I pitched our department as a solution to a business unit this afternoon. And it worked. Which means -- I have to do the project. I need to bear that in mind when I'm pitching the woo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got a call from an attorney asking me why I hadn't gotten him something yet. Since the answer was that he himself told the person who asked me for it that I didn't need to do it, I'm very confused. Luckily, I don't think I'm the only one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I loved him on the John Larroquette show. I hadn't followed his career since then, though.
The only thing I know about making dill pickles is - use storebought vinegar. Homemade may not be acidic enough.
I doubt that's helpful at all.

I think that there is something seriously wrong with me. All these pain stories have made me laugh sooo hard. That just can't be right.
Re: taxes
Alaska has no statewide income, sales or property taxes, although some communities do have sales and/or property taxes. And we get Permanent Fund Dividends. This year's is anticipated to be lower than in recent years. Perhaps around $500-800. But it's really cold and dark and icy much of the year, and much of the state has no road system.

Plei, On the pickle recipe I linked to, I remember that the friend who made it cut out almost all of the sugar they suggested.

No, Jennifer Jason Leigh... she's a little older but she could play when I'm dark and when I'm vulnerable and fucked-up. She should play a crip, right now, it would be fucking...well, a little scary. But her best friends should be real disabled actors...that would rule. I don't think the brain damage is severe enough for me to admire JLH, ita.

Huh. Did we know there was a Ziggy (comic strip, not Stardust) Christmas special?
Worst pain: Having the inside of my nose cauterized with sodium chloride when I was about 10. Nothing like somebody intentionally burning your flesh to get your attention.

Well now I have to say something else, or I look crazy. Alton is making yummy-looking instant pudding on the teevee right now. Though, not low fat, that's for damn sure.

No, sadly, my brain damage is sufficient to read it that way.

I have to admit the (two) times I tried self-cauterising my nostril with vinegar do rank on my list. I still toy with getting a professional to do it, but I assume that's more pain, rather than less.
