Allyson, my thoughts are with you, bebe.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Allyson, peace to you and your family. I hope you make it out in time.
Tatts: I am so seriously jonesing for a new tattoo. And I'm actually thinking about a dragonfly too, or possibly a raven.
If I don't have a new one by SF, I hereby give permission to anyone there to drag me somewhere and make me do it.

Cheerios, if only I had some:
If you want me to lead a fucking panel discussion at a conference this weekend, you might consider telling me before 8pm tonight, ummmkayy?
OMG, work. My minion almost lost it today. And I almost lost him. We went out for a smoke break at noonish (nobody had time for actual lunch break) and he kicked the big garbage can/ashtray so hard I practically jumped through the wall. He's like 6'8" and built, just so you can picture. Then we went back up and he emailed his wife to find out how much she would kill him if he just walked out. He was dead serious, it was a fucking near thing. I went to our VP and asked her to speak to a couple of other VPs and get them to lay the fuck off for a while - he's one of those super helpful guys, and everyone is in a frenzy right now, so every freaking department is pulling at him right now. Fucked up, and he was this close to walking out, and I was really having a hard time giving him reasons why not.
Now we've both had a shitload of beer on the company dime, and I'm home and he's at the hotel (a whole other issue - he has to be there at 5 tomorrow so he didn't get to go home) and man, I just hope he makes it through the weekend and doesn't do or say anything that will fuck him up.
I think I need another beer.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Night msbelle! (you were too quick for me before)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not THAT OTT, msbelle, but I like the birds + heart, I must say.
Jesus christ, Brenda. What a mess. Good luck.

Oh! I have a bottle of Sailor Jerry rum that I've never cracked. Maybe I should bring it to the F2F. It would be an excellent post-tatt libation, if nothing else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Brenda, that's terribly fucked up. I hope no one loses anything.
I'm watching The Constant Gardener, and I don't think I want to. I don't want to feel the same feelings I felt when reading the book, and I don't want to feel less.

I'm so sorry, Allyson. Gah.
And Brenda, that's a horrible freaking mess. Glad you could stick it to The Man with beer on his dime, though.
