omg, Holli, I remember when we were all unbelieving that you were 13! And now look at you!
... I feel old.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

That didn't sound very happy, did it? Sorry! I'm happy to see you back, I'm just feeling bound by age at the moment.So tell me to shut up!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
... I feel old.
If it helps? So do I. I keep doing double takes, going, "I've been in fandom *how* long?" There are itty bitty baby fen *everywhere,* in fandoms that didn't exist when I was a whippersnapper. It's very disconcerting.

Bout halfway through Survivor. So does the bottle tell them that whoever they just voted out goes to the other team? Would solve the number problem with the jury.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Holli! I was just talking about you in Bitches. Happy adulthood! No seriously, I hope your adulthood is happy.
However, I am home, and watching Top Chef
I came home and JZ was watching Top Chef. I asked when it was over so Emmett could watch his regular Avatar allotment before tubtime and he said, "No, that's okay, I like watching it."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've stayed at the Royal York, but we were there on an Expedia special rate, so our room was less than swanky. Very nice, though.

Slept on the hardest bed in the world at the Ritz in Montreal. I spend far too much time at the Swissotel these days, though that's not so much in that class.
So weird that the Peabody in Memphis just came up. My sister is pushing to go there for New Years. I'd never heard of it before yesterday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just woke up to ten migraine free minutes. Enough time to poke around the web, check my email to see that my conciliatory message to the best friend was received in the spirit it was sent.
Sadly, I've been up about thirteen minutes now. So much for respite.
Kat, what time are you leaving home?
Thanks, Strega. I wonder what their overarcing game plan is for the series.

So, I've learned something cool. There's a nerve beneath a birthmark on my right thigh. A little more than an 1.5 inch deep, there's a nerve that when hit with a syringe, the entire thigh muscle clenches with extreme pain. It's cool, right? Or painful.

I might come by earlier, Kat. While the head hurts like this it's hard to make plans for going actual places, so if we can leave it fluid, that's for the best. I'm going back to bed.
