I'm making a more elaborate dinner. Any suggestions for side dishes to go with shrimp scampi? For dessert, a 70% chocolate cake.Add a salad and some good bread, and you are so the winner.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've had an SO on VDay exactly once.
Me too, and as it happened I had made plans with a girlfriend several months earlier to see a band that was touring, and I was so not going to be That Girl and cancel. So he went to a party and I went to see a band. It was kind of sucky either way because I knew he had been kind of psyched at having a girlfriend to take to a VDay party, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I need to call the phone company about something. I'm looking on my bill and they don't list a phone number.
Just pick up the phone and start talking. They'll know it's you, and what it's about.
That's also what you do if you need to contact the NSA, or the Trilateral Commission.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not all google is evil, but I'd still not do this.

At lunch, I was all "where is this blood coming from?" and the answer was my thumb. Just now I was all "what is that schmootz on my knuckles?" and the answer was a sprawling bruise.
ita, did they send me your day by mistake?

Any suggestions for side dishes to go with shrimp scampi?
rice and broccoli. the better to soak up the garlic butter with. Unless you are making british shrimp scampi, which we call fried shrimp. And then I would suggest a nice salad.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Juliana--I keep meaning to ask--did you have extensive post-concussive syndrome after your fall?
Oh, hell yes. It was part of the reason I felt so betrayed by the whole divorce thing - I am/was still recuperating, and it felt like he couldn't deal. There is still fallout from the injury, even 15 months later. I'm planning to go see a neuropsych for cognitive testing as soon as I get my health insurance back. (I meant to last fall, but I had other things taking my attention.)
I forget - have you been sent to a neuropsych yet? Has it been discussed?
