am home from 2 days in the country. I really really want to get a weekend place.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Art Crawl!!!
My inability to go places is more about my lack of funds which isn't going to change, you know?

Someone oughtta write a book disputing this.What exactly are you disputing?
Most people -- not "most people online" or "most people in fandom," but most people -- do not form the kind of LD relationships this particular community has. Many people certainly do. But there are more who don't. Allyson, you've written a book explaining how relationships form on the net. If it was common, you wouldn't need to explain it.

All relationships are long distance.
Wait. In a minute, I will get really depressing.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Wow, that was really frustrating. I'm doing an online course. This morning the website went down - when it finally came up again, the NEXT PAGE was just an instruction to read a chapter of one of the textbooks. I could have been doing that while I couldn't access the website. Argh!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it was common, you wouldn't need to explain it.
Well, there's money to be made telling people what they already know, but might not have thought about properly.
Lots of it.
I do agree with Allyson's point that LD interaction isn't new and isn't unrewarding--the fact that she can say that better than I do is not unrelated to why she's the one with the book deal.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Huh. There's a "large hail" warning for NY.

Sure. Turn me into a freshman ...
Ok. Yes, like existentially. Crap. All the big thinkers have been here. Even the French big thinkers.
Now, that is depressing.
