The status is NOT quo.

My older brother had to stop taking Ambien from the hallucinations. You get those as well?

Oh dear. No, I wasn't hallucinating, but I clearly was out of my head. I only take Ambien when I absolutely can't sleep--usually no more than twice a month--but I swear that that post made perfect sense to me when I typed it. I have *no* idea what the hell I was trying to say now. How very embarassing.

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

I have a hivemind question. I just picked up a loaner car from the dealer for the second time in a few weeks, and both of them had a wand/stick that you put into the ignition slot plus a button to push to start the car, rather than a key.

What is the advantage to this? Why is it seen as an improvement over starting your car with a traditional key? I like the key, and don't see why this is better, but maybe it is.

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

"Welcome," ita said sadly, "to my world."

God, I've typed some random shit. But I'm getting better at scrutinising before hitting post. Sometimes I leave the gems for me to find later, and I can't stop laughing at myself.

The status is NOT quo.

The thing is, I distinctly remember scrutinizing what I had typed and fixing a few things so that it all "made sense."

It gets easier. Or at least convincing yourself to just lie down and stop faking being awake does.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, I know what I should do! Figure out what I'm requesting for Yuletide.

Oh yeah! That!

Shrift, what do I want? What does fandom *need*?

Oh, yeah. Non-lame Dark Angel fic, Pushing Daisies femslash (can't even remember if PD made the list), some other stuff. The usual.

I'm so glad that I decided to go to sleep after one lone "pithy" post.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For fear of crazy posting or wandering around, I take ambien ONLY when I am about to get in bed and then I stay there, so no hallucinations for me. The DH tells me I talkto him sometimes when he comes to bed late, and I can't remember doing it, but apparently I never say anything that interesting.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

At a guess, you can copy a key.

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

I have *no* idea what the hell I was trying to say now.

Roughly, " dude I'm so stoned."
