119. Not feeling cheerful about it right now. Skip dates, skip dating, skip all that crap, and it'd be nice to have emotional backup on tap. Jessica's right. It was a hard day.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

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

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
101.
But I would strongly prefer to not be quirky and alone, and though my friends are all mind-blowingly talented, bright, attactive, and stylish, I would like to add a fuckable boy to the mix. Not to sound ungrateful.
The quiz made me feel sad.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would like all my sad friends to have sweet dreams and good nights. I wish I could send emotional support through the mail.

Meh. Everything is making me feel sad. I'm under huge self-pressure to complete a half a dozen tasks and be in bed and asleep by 11:00 so I can get up tomorrow for my flight to hell. I mean home.

The concussion headaches make me feel very sad. And they are self-escalating in their effect.

76. I'm not a quirkyalone, but, apparently, I'm a quirkytogether! WEIRD.
My parents are here. I need some alone time. I can't wait to go feed Polgara's and Allyson's cats so I can sit in a room without anyone else.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm sorry to hear about the headaches and brown belt sadness, ita. I hope your health improves at a fast clip.

Do you like walking (alone) at night?
- Yes, I am fascinated by the interactions between strangers that play out before me.
How often do you pursue extracurricular activities outside of work?
- I write, draw, organize, throw pottery, sing, or cycle a few times a week.
- I take classes every so often.
- Not so much these days.
And on reread: "organize"? That's an extracurricular activity, but reading isn't?
What is your chosen family?
- Friends.
- Significant other.
- Pets.
When you go to a bar to meet somebody, whom are you looking for?The people I arranged to meet? I don't go to a bar to meet new people.
Picking the least totally wrong answers, I got 99. The part where they define the quirkyalone as having "an optimistic spirit" makes me think that their quiz needs fine-tuning. Like, something asking how important it is for you to have a tribe to validate your social life.
Meh. I'm gonna start a site called crankyalone.

I left two yummy roasted chicken legs and fresh lemonade for you, Kat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I found dating Hell on Earth, full of rejection and awkwardness and embarassment, but I am happier in a happy relationship. For me, it was the rough terrain I had to make my way through to get to where I wanted to be. I knew what I wanted--I wanted real love and a wonderful companion--and to get that, I knew I had to go through all the pain and boredom of dating--years and YEARS of pain and boredom.
But I look over at the BF playing his guitar and I know it was all worth it. (Sorry for the schmoop, but I'm a total sap.)
