I'm not a bright girl.

The one thing about you that is not bright is that you make mistakes like that about yourself.

I think that, it doesn't matter where *he* is right now, in a nice relationship with whatever nice girl. What matters is where *you* are. Like, say, surrounded with friends. Like, say, having written a book (and the little I got to read from it was brilliant and funny and emotional-in-the-right-way). Like, say, being the person I think about when I need to convince myself that things can indeed be done, because if you can move mountains the way you do, surely there's a way to do things.Like, say, being able to help people with that huge not-at-all-moronic heart of yours.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Don't just limited to High School. My one that got away was in university.

Oh yeah. For me, it went way beyond college.

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

Perhaps I should just date Nilly.

Will you make her waffles?

I'm probably making dating mistakes right now! (Except for that I have dated in forever...)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think the magic element I am missing is being able to identify the qualities I can now recognize in "the ones that got away" in new people that I meet.

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

I don't have any one that got away. I mean, I'd have had to have them for that to happen, right? For a period of time you'd hope could extend past their ticket home?

So I'm free of that particular regret.

Moodblurbs. What a lame idea. It's dorky and inflexible. Give me an epaper screen I can control through my USB port (or bluetooth!) and then we're talking.

I'm down two fucking Imitrexes so far. And that's all I can have for the day. This really isn't fair.

ita are you going home for the holidays? I kinda fear you traveling right now.

Nope, not going anywhere, msbelle.

Why would you fear me travelling?

Allyson, you're already Jewish, so it even makes things easier.

For 2006, though, I might like to find The One That Sticks Around For A While And Makes Me Waffles.

Oh, I would like one of those for myself, please. Though, not Teppy's, of course. Oh, and I can get along even without the waffles.

I don't have any one that got away. I mean, I'd have had to have them for that to happen, right?

And again, today, I am ita. Third time, ice-cream (or lemon cookies, if you prefer them. We can get what we like, no matter what the phrase says).
