We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously, does anyone have any opinions about hanging my stupid master's diploma in my office? Would you roll your eyes?

Our wings are not tired.

My diplomas are in my office. DH has his hanging too. It is wronger than wrong to not display the evidence of your hard work. In fact I have my honor cords hanging over the frame too. Flaunt it!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Jesse, I think it's fine. I mean, you worked for it, you earned it; why not be proud of it? Sure, display it.

And if you hang it in the right place, it's supposed to improve your office's chi.

I think.

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

I finally got to watch this week's PR. Love Captain save-a-ho, and Robert's whole outfit. I want that top. I actually kind of liked Vincent's outfit. Loved Kayne's and Angela's, except I thought they both had weird things at the waist that messed up the line of the dress.

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

Ha! Red Stripe on this week's Stargate. Jamaica rules.

Jesse, I think it would be weird. But I concede that it may be a personal quirk or summat. Since others seem to think it normal.

I think if the diploma is the ONLY thing on your walls, then yeah, that might be weird. But if it's just one thing among many, then totally normal.

I confess to thinking it's weird. I think I'll get it framed anyway, and then decide if I'm going to take it to work. (If for no other reason than to keep it nice -- I have no idea where my undergrad diploma is.) There are lots of pictures and stuff on the walls.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello, all. I am here to report that VW has food in her house. I have also seen aforementioned house (it is hard to unload from a car with a blindfold on) and it it bitchin'. Nice hardwood floors, spacious, cool.

Also, there is a farmer's market right down the street on Saturday afternoons, with a small jazzy band -- guitars, flute, a bass. Awesome!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For the first time in I-can't-remember-how-long, I am sitting in my living room with the windows open and not even a fan running, and it is beautiful. I think I'll walk over to the park later, just to enjoy this unbelievable weather.

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

One of my krav friends (Z--I should email him) used to frame his belt test certificates--in a shadow box, with the corresponding belt (we're not given belts, and don't wear them--he bought his own). Sounded really nice and tasteful except, whereinhell would I ever put that up? I also have two certificates from yellow through blue, having taken those tests twice.

Mostly I could never put something up on the wall commemorating an achievement of mine. But I come from a family that threw away my pictures instead of putting them on the fridge (oh, they'll hang my stuff now, even what I hate), and my father once called me to translate his diploma into English because he couldn't remember what he had his Masters in.
