I have no advice, but best wishes Emily.

Oh come on, pull the trigger. You can't waste a straight line.

There were too many choices, and I was like unto a deer caught in the headlights.

I cannot imagine anybody finding you less than beguiling.

You haven't seen my latest shitty dye job. Which is comforting, in a way. In the world of invisible friends, I'm still skinny and lovely-haired.

Of course, I don't have to go to DC for the weekend. I could go to Kansas and join the family waiting rather impatiently for my grandmother to just die already. Cause that sounds cheery as all get-out. Maybe I'll just run away to the desert and build a hut somewhere. Hermit life sounds good.

Go, team Bastard.

I totally read this as "Go, team Batard" when I first read it, which took me to "Batard out of Carolina" when I went back to try and understand. Which made me laugh.

BATARD OUT OF CAROLINA - the harrowing story of immigrant bread makers in the Deep South.

Hermit life sounds good.

So, Western Kansas then.

Ack, Emily, that totally sucks. I hate that (having done it a couple of times already) because you feel awful whether you go or don't go, and you feel awful for just. Wanting. It. Over.

Aw, crap. That's a little close for comfort, isn't it? I was thinking Arizona. I like Arizona. It has... sand, and stuff. Also cacti.

You can't beat Elko, Nevada for being far away from almost anything. I hear they have sand dunes, which I think are more fun than casinos.

Aw, no, best Freudian slip ever.,vw. Esp. if you are visiting the fam. My life is still boring, apart from the book but The Job is the closest I've come in years to actually ROTFL. Of course, that is why it did not survive, I do still live in the country that made Michael fucking Landon a television legend.(and because of THS, I know that could've been his nick too...he dug the whole Commandment-busting thing in private.) And, I blame ita, but of course, I have a whole new entry of my list of Comedians I'd like to. Comedians I'd like to. FG, especially since Leary!man has at least one dependency and you can tell he's lying cause his mouth's moving. Just what I need to be hot for. And he's kind of odd-looking, feature by feature, like DW. But it works for me, somehow. (Eh, what can I say? You make me laugh...that's half my love thang.)

I dunno Western Kansas is hard to beat for isolation.
