Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

It really makes me want know what'll happen here on the day after my last day, man.

I suspect much panicking. And possibly servers igniting and setting the building on fire.

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

Thanks for the link, Plei. Was labor gratifying for you?

Dammit, we just missed Jesse's birthday.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Grmph...I need more sleep. (I know, what else is new?)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

But it's almost Valentines Day! It comes in red, too!

I suspect much panicking.

It entertains me to picture account executives freaking out across the globe.

Thanks for the link, Plei. Was labor gratifying for you?

Oddly, yes.

In a blurry sort of way.

This is the differentest thing I've heard about mothering ever. Not to imply you're different from other mothers, more that it's different from anything I could have guess.

I also would describe my labor as gratifying. In the same way that doing anything physical and hard and succeeding is gratifying, like climbing a mountain. And oh the endorphins when you're done! (As a non-athlete, I don't get a lot of endorphins in my life).

What happens in labour if you don't try? They yell at you to push and stuff--what if you just fucking can't? Does that mean they have to do a caesarian to avoid bad stuff?

I'm all about the endorphin rush, but not so much when it gets you a dependent human. Though I'd love to sit up (or loll limply) after labour and enthuse "That was better than krav!" Mostly for reaction's sake.

I never thought I'd say this: Maybe Mariah's problem is that she wears too much clothing.

While I'm serial posting, this article tells of weirdness, but the choice of graphic cracks me up.
