Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yay, money!

So here I am, filling out a survey, and the first thing it asks me is what state I live in, so that's okay, and the second is which of the following best describes where I live:

  • Dartmouth, MA and surrounding area
  • Springfield, MA and surrounding area
  • Taunton, MA and surrounding area
  • Tyngsboro, MA and surrounding area
  • Other

Er... wouldn't you have put at least one other option in there? I mean, there's a pretty big city somewhere in Massachusetts, what's that called...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'M BORED TOO.

And I have another 3 hours and 46 45 minutes. (not that I am counting or anything.)

I think people should make up wild tales of their weekend plans and tell them to us.

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

I'm going to flaunt my bruises in front of buff strangers. You?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's hilarious, Emily.

I think Love at First Sight is still just desire that happens to be inspired by a person that was also otherwise a good match.

I'm with Cindy on Love At First Sight being essentially good luck. There's an immediate WANT that may not last 24 hours, and an initial hormone fog that may not last six months, but if you get both of those PLUS a long-term companion type? Good luck.

I'm bored. And I wanna go home. And I should be doing Responsible Things. Right now. Unfortunately, they're ferreting-out-the-problem-with-the-report things, and I'm not sure I have enough higher brain function to do them.

You?

Saturday: Pretend to clean my apartment and nap, Sunday: head into SF for lunch and a movie then nap.

AH! Little Miss I Don't Work Until 10 AM! See where your flaunting gets you?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cause they pay you?

I bet they'd still pay be if I left early, though.

I think people should make up wild tales of their weekend plans and tell them to us.

Brunch with my sister, and then something involving air conditioning. I've been invited to 2 parties, but they're both outside. (Plus, my trains are doing weird shit this weekend that makes me not want to leave my neighborhood if I can avoid it. Good thing I can walk to 2 movie theatres.)

Oh, and krav and surfing. I think that's the whole weekend, if you don't count the laundry and cleaning, which I really don't want to.
