It's got to be frustrating being intellectually five or six and linguistically, what, two?
And it seems like that might spiral if he got frustrated or was tired.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, courtesy of a drink and losing half my dinner due to post-nasal drip, I'm now quite a bit drunk.
People need to abide by my wishes for them to follow my rules. DAMNIT.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
But some nights we go from laughing hugging mac to yelling mac 5-6 times from 6pm to 9pm.
Poor youse. It's hard on him, I'm sure, to process all the ways in which you've changed his life, nevermind all the ways in which he's changing yours (that part won't register for another, what?, 15 to 20 years or so). Yeah, he's acting out a bit, boundary testing--so what? He'll work it through eventually.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yikes, Sarameg.
ita, I'm supposed to tell you that G. is not evil, or maybe that he is but you should take him up on it anyway. Something with the word evil anyway.

"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
He only tortured Turks; his own people apparently loved him.
I've read that during his reigns (3 separate ones of 8 years total), he killed off approximately 10% of the population of his own country. A laundry list of his atrocities can be found here: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lee, there are a set number of ways in which we can have G and evil in the same sentence, and I'm afraid he may not like most of them.
I on the other hand...well, they're my sentences. I totally win.
Grr. My shoulder hurts. I had more time today without migraines than usual, even though it'd probably average out like other days.
I want a higher bar.

Clearly someone needs to make a lolmac.
Happy birthday SA!

'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"
In a way it's good that mac is acting out, it shows that he's feeling at least safe enough with msbelle to say what he feels. Still, not all that much fun for the parental unit at the moment.
I woke up too damn early, but I slept like an extra 4-5 hours during the day yesterday, so hopefully I won't be dragging today. I have my first 'networking event' at which I go dressed up with business cards in hand. Not sure that it will do much good, but I'm willing to give it a try!
