I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love water shoes for canoeing in creeks with rocky beds. Or wading by rocky beaches. Any combination of water and rocks, really.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I did! Love.

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

I love water shoes, too. Having stepped on sharp seashells and suchlike (say that five times fast) I prefer to have my feet protected in unfamiliar places.

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

Right now I'm jonesing for the feel of sifting sand through my toes, so although I understand the English of water shoes, I don't feel them.

Bleaching my hair with new stuff. Whose instructions didn't match the ingredients, but never mind. It's only hair. And not that much of it.

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

Gmail seems to have decided I shouldn't get any of the email that people also on gmail sent me for the last hour or so.

Hate that.

The new bleach is stupid and I'll have to touch up in the morning. Ah, well. Live and learn.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

So, my parents just got back from their local independent bookstore, and The Book was sold out! (Theo, was that all you?) They re-ordered.

Which store? I have been trying to be patient with another local scifi type store in Cambridge where I ordered a copy and recommended they have it on the shelves (guys solution: order two copies) and their customer service, is, how you say, not so great. The dude said last week that he'd have it by the end of last week, now it's the end of this week, and I suspect that it will be actually the August release date or something and I want to dispatch Tom to a B&N but then I'll need to buy the Local Independant Bookstore copy and I think I'm really, really going to need some good reading this weekend, since I'll be at the beach and it looks like the weather will be totally shitty.

In conclusion, WANT. WANT NOW.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This was at Porter Square Books. I guess they had had three copies to start.

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

I just walked four blocks in the rain, with an umbrella, and I'm freaking SOAKED.

Rain = yuck. When I was in Portland on Sunday and it was POURING, we had to sit in the car for like 15 minutes to wait out a downpour.
