Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Tonight I made a fruitless search for orange satin xmas ornaments. Tomorrow, I will probably Xmas shop and clean, and once my apartment is clean I will get my Xmas tree.

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

I just got a wrong number to my desk, and before I could even complete my offer to look up the person she wanted (this chick had a name in mind that wasn't the head cheese), she said never mind, she'd just try dialling again.

So refreshing!

I'm going home.

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'm being pressured to give a picture of myself to the webmaster of the site for a group I belong to at work.

I do not want a photo of me on the web next to my work address and phone. This makes me extraordinarily uncomfortable. When I say I would prefer not to, I get coaxed and prodded and such. But i mean it. I don't like it, I don't feel safe doing it, and I prefer to keep my work life and web life separate.

I know I'm being perceived as belligerent.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You want I should come 'splain why that's a horrible thing to ask of someone. Seriously, that's wrong. You're not being beligerent; you're being smart.

I've had a no good very bad day. I'm home at not even 8, listening to a song, the first words of which are "No one will ever love you Heather." yay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It sounds like you are being pretty reasonable, Allyson. Would they accept a stick figure self-portrait, instead?

eta: Sorry about the bad day, Daisy. I keep meaning to tell you, your new name constatly earworms me with "Bicycle Buit for Two". Which is fine, b/c I like the song and all, but it does eventually start to make me wonder if someone is about to reprogram me with an ax...

Art Crawl!!!

ita, I am also happy they didn't find anything nasty and sad that there is no diagnosis yet.

I watched part of VH1s Top 40 Videos of 2005. . . why was Eric Roberts in so many videos? And of course, one of them also had Wentworth Miller.

Allyson, you're being reasonable.

You really are.
