Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

brillig

it can actually be applied to all abortions if you try.

I'm sure that's part of the plan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

and truly loathe the term "partial birth," as it is a bullshit made-up wedge phrase that is so utterly non-descriptive it can actually be applied to all abortions if you try.

Yeah. It's not a medical term, but a political sound-bite. Sucks that the religious right has succeeded in getting most media people to use it.

Punishingly Intricate

There's got to be a story there, what with the "losing" stockings.

hahaha yeah...too sordid and not really worth losing those stockings (Spanx, so not cheap!) for. But it did help strengthen my resolve not to drink for the first three months of the year!

Nordstroms has failed me. The only spanx they have are maternity and wtf? footless. What's the point of footless tights?!

My gelato place did not fail me, though. And neither did the H & M where I got two very cute skirts--one black & white gingham and one white lined eyelet (but, I think, sophisticated-ish not cutesy).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am having a Take 5 bar and a Diet Coke for lunch.

I'm also eating it in the library.

Ssssshhhh....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Blah. I am blah. Everything is blah. Blaaaaaaah.

I had annoyance with a side of urgency and a dollop of busy for lunch. Finished it off with a soupcon of impatience.

Wait, that was the midafternoon snack.

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

I'm also eating it in the library.

SINNER!

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

I'm fed and watered and clean and I still feel dodgy. And one of the people I emailed to say I'd re-evaluate at lunchtime told me to stay home.

As I am weak-willed and easily swayed by peer pressure, back to sleep it is.

I have no library books at all. Just my schoolwork and the computer.
