Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(What crack are they smoking that they think people have access to cranberries in June?)

I see them year-round around here, if not reliably every week. (I also tend to have some in the freezer, but I have no idea if that would break the recipe-testing rules.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Well, I've got my HP costume done, but I went lazy and relatively sloppy with it. I had cut out letters to pin to the front of the t-shirt, but the paper and pinning did not go well and I was tearing out my hair. So, instead, I sacrificed a red t-shirt (that's too big for me now!) that I cut a rectangle out of, basted the edges to make them even, then just took a black Sharpie and wrote out "Firebolt", then basted it to the front of my black t-shirt. I also stitched two headbands together in the back to create a little pocket to slip the raffia bundle through. Cool thing I didn't notice until I started to sew it was that the headbands have a little "F" in the front! I also cut another piece of the red t-shirt and wrapped it around the bottom of the raffia bundle so it doesn't rub on my neck when I'm wearing it.

I'm heading over there at 9:00 with my camera in hand, but don't start work until 10:00.

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

I am very exciting. I am ordering pizza from a new place.

Other than that, I may just try and hermit this weekend. I didn't have one last weekend, so I'm going to have to take my one day this time round and work it. Book on the beach, perhaps?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What if I have a special signed copy of the book JUST FOR YOU? Do I have to leave it on your doorstep?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You leave it in the mailbox, with the cigarettes, right?

...oh, wait. That's not ita.

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

This weekend no can do--but maybe next? I have an exhaustive schedule of rocking myself and crying and I don't think I can fit much else in.

Which isn't to seem ungrateful--I was more aiming for pathetic.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Gee, I haven't seen a 7% or more raise in...oh, over a quarter of a century. (I've been working for over 30 years.) Clearly I'm in the wrong business. Saving lives. Way undervalued.

Sorry to barge in. New here. Been lurking awhile but only recently registered.
