IME, it's the showboating tenors and sopranos that need reckoning with.
Heh. "You high singers, just sit down and shut up for a minute, okay?"
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Exactly.

Gud's link makes me want to barf.
Avoid the purse section of target. They have those sparkly bags.
I see them everywhere. So tacky.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Took me eighteen minutes to find this. I should just save it somewhere:
This bitch was all up in my face, like, "I'm a coluratura, listen to my melisma, la la la," and I was all like "No you ain't, you can't hit over a high D flat without squeaking. That's a bullshit tessitura, and your melisma sounds like freakin' Nelly Furtado on a bad day," and she was like, "You're goin' down, mezzo tramp!" and I was like "Bring it on, bitch!"
Thank you, Mrs Weiler.

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 mean, you should try and finish as much as you can, but finishing a whole book in two days is not going to allow you to polish your prose much. It's better to turn in Most Of A Book that's well written.
She has eight of the essays, she wants the other four. And to talk to me.
I can't take any more time off from work. I'm here in between panicking about other deadlines and waiting for the info I need to make them.
So, yeah, I have til Wednesday to write the other four essays.
I'm fucking doomed. And scared. And hopeful. And someone just invited me to talk at WonderCon about Vampire People, but i don't really get what they want. I'm overwhelmed. I'm so overwhelmed.

Then you have to get off the web, Allyson. And don't think about Wondercon until Thursday.
At which point you can tell me if you'll be needing a security escort.
Entertaible. Want. So badly.

Chunk it down. Put the WonderCon thing aside 'til the essays are done. Work on the essays at work (or think about them, or jot down notes about them) instead of posting to us.
Do you know the topics for the other four?
You're not doomed. You might be scared, but use that as nervous energy, and keep feeling hopeful.
Now go write. If you can post at work, you can do something on your essays while you're at work.

Or you could have asked me, and I would have provided. Unless you were having fun, and then carry on.
