Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

ita, get the bumper fixed. Noah and I will give you a ride as we now have a NEW CAR!

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

Yay new car! What'd you get?

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

Thanks for the offer, Kat. It's more of a this-side-of-town favour, since the ride would be to get me to and from work.

Hmm. Hmmm. I need to think logistics, but have no brain right now. Maybe I nap.

I'm out of strawberries. Someone should bring me some.

See how good I am with the not-actually-useful favour-asking? Gifted.

Though I do want to see Noah now that he's been sprung from NICU. I have to gather my strength.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Thanks for the hugs and sympathy, folks.

I'm currently at Confluence in Pittsburgh, posting from G's laptop. I have bought a copy of paperdol's book from the dealer I gave the book info to months ago. Yay!

A dealer at the Con, Sheryl?

amych, a used Saturn Vue. Yes. I have become that SUV-driving in lieu of minivan person. It's a 2004 with 26,000 miles and it's shiney! K wouldn't let me buy the canary yellow one, but this one is better as it was cheaper, with fewrer miles AND a manual transmission which I love.

Awesome! (Also, my boss has a Vue, which she bought as an SUV-not-minivan mom car, and she loves it. No shame there.)

The woman I coteach with at UCLA has a Vue and I like it a lot. Plus manual transmission is a winner for me, but I'm weird like that.

ita, my offer to help was totally a bald attempt at just getting to see you. And maybe bumming a piece of cake off of you.
