I found myself infuriated by this. And then laughed.
I laughed when I read that the online addiction counseling can be done online.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I dunno, meara, any 13 year old can get knocked up.
Doesn't make it less terrifying, though.

Getting pregnant required not much more forethought than the previous 5 years of marriage. Buying a home involves all this stuff. Lawyers and realtors and mortgage brokers and co-op boards and paperwork and money...
[eta: And now I'm looking up neighborhood stats including schools for the new apartment, which is a home-ownership + baby Adult Thing To Do. I'm so responsible and shit!]
Gack!

Seriously. I mean, how do they make sure you're not looking at porn in another window during your sessions?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just spent half an hour on the phone trying to find something the NY intraoffice mail room lost.
That was fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Doesn't make it less terrifying, though.
Oh, definitely not. You just don't have to be a grownup to do it. No paperwork! No lawyers! (If you're randomly getting knocked up, I mean -- I know many people whose children came with paperwork and lawyers first.)

I don't like today. On the upside, though, I have chocolate cake. On the downside, I've learnt that it's a really good idea to take my migraine prophylactics as scheduled. And that's the upside of the down bit.
Tidying will give me a sense of purpose, and I hope also a sense of achievement. I could even file.
Hmm. Framing that penultimate sentence made me wonder--how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb? As in, to replace "I hope" in the sentence under consideration. Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.
