I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

mmmm...when I was a software tester, between 10 and 1030 am was 'healthy cheese snack time' and we would run down to the vending machine, shove quarters in it with great abandon , pulling out whatever 'cheese' flavored items we could find.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have no cheese, nor cheese-food-product snack.

I need to write a bio, decide whether or not my back needs icing, and go to bed.

Did anyone here watch the 100th Episode of Alias last year or the year before?

Which episode was that? I've seen them all, but #100 doesn't stand out.

Late to the party on this one, but...

that if an adult for example had taken the signals seriously, perhaps tragedy could have been avoided.

At least one adult (one of the shooter's teachers) had reported his behavior, to no effect. Asshat.

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

Ooh, pretty, Sue!

The 100th episode had all sorts of people back-- Will taking out fake!friend, etc.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yikes. I just got the final version of a transcript of a deposition I defended this week-- between the rough and final drafts someone decided to "correct" the court reporter who was there and change my gender. Thanks, helpful party! That makes me feel oh so secure about the accuracy of the transcript.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I basically went to bed as soon as I got home last night, with short forays for food and kleenex. This morning, I had enough time to shower, leisurely get dressed, grab breakfast, and start a Supernatural ahem. Caught the bus, got coffee, which I promptly spilled all over myself, and got to the office more than ten minutes early.

Is this what it's like for normal people in the morning?
