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

ita, a while back you mentioned a (new?) Right Said Fred song you liked. Which one was it? (I am in the mood for buying new music.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Sounds like a winner, Calli.

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

Perkins, the songs were "I love my car" and "Where do you go to, my love?"

The former is earworm distilled into pop. The second one's got three stars from me.

But neither are available on iTunes. I got them from here.

Thanks! I can't get the files to open though. Maybe I should go back to sleep and try again later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Laura!

Perkins, I think Blogging Project Runway had the collections.

Another part of the LHC at CERN has been completed.

This particle accelerator has the potential unlock some big mysteries in physics and cosmology. Pretty exciting stuff.

What is even happening?

Hell, you don't have to look at a lot of people--just check MY face out. I have way more of all those things than you--plus a plethora of delightful broken capillaries, which give me a lovely "Tip O'Neill" look.
Robin, you must have taken my mirror, by mistake.

No, the vast majority of us who look at you have been seeing a cute, vivacious woman who lights up the room with her smile. And even your worst enemies don't have the proximity and time to focus on your flaws the way you're doing. Everyone (except those few with Paris Hiltonesque egos) is their own worst critic when looking in the mirror.
Unsurprisingly, I agree with Matt.

Allyson, it's kind of like what Buffy tells Jonathan in Earshot. Nobody is noticing your flaws, because they're too worried about their own, and too busy covering them up. You're a really pretty woman. I have seen you in person and remember how struck I was by your looks. I'm sorry you had to get glasses. I hope you soon get to the place where you like being able to see the world better, and view them as a useful accessory, rather than a new method to increase self-hatred.

Realization I am whitefonting for those who already have dysfunctional relationships with their mirrors: When you look in the mirror, you are seeing yourself twice as far away as people who look at you see you. Like, if you are 3 feet from the mirror, you are seeing your reflection 6 feet away from you. But other people routinely see you at 3 feet away (or even 3 inches).

And they still love you.
