The Mets have been leaving a lot of men on base lately. I'm sure there's a funny quip in there somewhere: "The Mets couldn't send a man home if he had a note from the school nurse"
Something like that. I'll work on it.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
OK y'all, I need to get a keeper. Or a partner-in-crime named Ethel and a Cuban musician husband. This morning I thought I'd be industrious and take out all my trash before running errands. I tried to flip up the dumpster lid with one hand while flinging the garbage in with the other. Which is why I was unable to stop the twist-tie from tangling with the keychain I was holding in the same hand and yanking it into the dumpster as well. Where it promptly burrowed under the many trash bags and hid.
Cut to me spending the next 20 minutes on tiptoes with a cane from my 1997 Halloween costume trying to hook the ring so I wouldn't have to actually climb into the dumpster and necessitate 15 or 20 extra showers. And then when I finally succeeded in snagging the slime dripping keys, waving the cane and doing a victory dance... before turning around to see several neighbors in the parking lot staring at me with open mouths.
The day did improve considerably after that, but then again it pretty much had nowhere to go but up.

Oh, my god, Matt, you just made me laugh out REALLY loud.
Er, glad your day improved after that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a Polgara in my living room, and we have cake and booze, AIFG.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am waiting on pizza to take my pills. I have lidocaine patches attached to my neck and shoulder. I returned a phone call I was feeling dicey on. I did a friend a favour. I need to design my next tattoo. I'm going into the next room to watch Stargate.
No, I have no Polgara. Hey, ask her if she took my trip advice...

No, she did not. There were no opportunities to do so.

You've got to make opportunity.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Just consider Matt, that it's a good thing that none of your neighbors had a video camera, or else you'd be up on YouTube right now. See? It could have been so worse....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why am I so stressed out about work? It makes no sense. And I really don't want to go into the office tomorrow, but I just realized if I don't I won't be able to print out my boarding pass ahead of time for my flight tomorrow night. Bah. You can check in without being able to print the thing, right?
