I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Hee. Y'all are welcome to come try some of the cake at the party, but I think if I showed up with an already-tried cake, it would be poor form.

The question that has me agog is how many people answered yes to the "Have you had sex with someone within an hour of meeting them?" question. I know I'm way more to the prickly and standoffish end of the spectrum, but -- so, 61 minutes (ish) previously you had no idea this other person even existed, and now you're having sex?!?

Yeah, I goggled a bit at that one too. I mean, heck, you'd think even if you met someone at a party or club and went home with them, elapsed time between meeting and going home would be a couple hours, y'know? I've definitely KISSED people within an hour....I've decided I might be WILLING to sleep with them...but actually done it? NSM.

But this might be why *I* am below the median for my friends, as well.

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

Now I must get to planning for some help when she arrives in San Francisco. That took five of us. And, while it's harder to pack than unpack, it will probably be easier if it's more than just Emily and Lee.

I was planning on sending out a "hey let's have a pizza and beer while we wait for Emily and then help her unload the van" email, but if you have other ideas, that would be great too.

If I left right now, I'm confident I couldn't get there before the party. Perhaps you should make me another one. Or, I could just drown my sorrows in chocolate.

Nope! That sounds great to me! I just don't want the two of you to get stuck doing all of it, 'cause that would be no fun.

Hmm, from Alaska? Probably not. Given the time change and all. Guess you'll just have to come visit and I'll make another cake!

I'm probably heading east in the spring. But honestly, no cake is necessary. Meeting new East-istas sounds much better than the bestest cake.

Toto is totally not sure what's going on here. He keeps going and checking in Emily's room and jumping up on the platform and just lying there looking very sad. I don't know what to do for him. I keep giving him lots of treats, but I don't think it's helping.

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

Because I won't lend money to someone who I didn't know existed an hour ago, much less fuck them.

wouldn't have lent money to any of the guys who fell into the category.

I think it's accurate to say that although I don't get around much, I have been known to employ gusto when I do. And, honestly, it's so much easier to sleep with a guy before you know each other than after.

If you're me.

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

Aw, he misses her too. Are you giving yourself treats as well? Cause bug's need treats too.

And, honestly, it's so much easier to sleep with a guy before you know each other than after.
Yep. And those don't tend to be any of the things I have regreted either.

Yup. Had a pedicure and dinner today with J. Then I came home and packed 12!!!!! boxes. Scarily, I still have many more to go.
