You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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

Spa day?

Hmm. Thats a good place to open negotiations...

How's that for irritating beyond all get out?

Oh, very. I'm surprised that hasn't happened to me in Westwood yet, but these days I avoid everything other than the medical centre with its own parking structure. Last parking ticket was Santa Monica, but it was a lovely afternoon out, so it was almost worth it.

I choose death before reality! Unless there's a cake option. Is there cake? No? Babies on spikes, then?

I could make myself watch for the certain knowledge of Rupert Murdoch's blood pressure rising in inverse proportion to the falling ratings of his network.

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 think there was a conversation about this in Bitches, but I can't remember...

A masseuse doesn't actually give a crap that my body sucks, right? She wont like, recoil?

Allyson, it's the masseuse's job to work on the person. I know a massueuse who says that he doesn't see a body, per se, but parts to work on. He sees bodies in groups of muscles and angles, not in sizes.

You won't ping the masseu(r/se)'s radar, Allyson. Go and relax.

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

Timelies all!

So far this season my luck with shows has been good.(It probably doesn't hurt that I only picked up one new show this year, as opposed to new-to-me)

Good to know, ita. I'm disturbed by the concept of anyone bathing me, though. I mean, everything about it looks fabulous except the naked part.

allyson, you dont have to be completely naked if you don't want to. I mean, you have to take off your clothes, but you can have the massage in your underwear.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Allyson, I agree with everyone who says the massuese won't care, but if you really aren't comfortable with the naked part, wear a suit. No use getting a massage if you are going to be tense during it.
