I'm supposed to feel kinda dirty right now, aren't I?
yep.
Yesterday was pedicure day. I wish tomorrow were massage day.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're dirty, ita.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hec, REI has (or used to have, but I'd be surprised if they've stopped it) a free climbing night. You might have to rent Emmett shoes, unless he has his own, but they are discounted to $3 or so, iirc. I think it was Tuesday nights in Concord, I assume the newish SF store has one as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish tomorrow were massage day.
Today was supposed to be my massage day, but my neck and shoulder were so sore I didn't want them touched.
Today is seven days since my last ER visit! That's totally huge. I need to make it one more week, at least. Because B's not in town until then, and because, hey, who wants to go to the ER?
invite him over and kick his ass
He already knows I hit below the belt, but I'm not sure he'd see it coming precisely.
Of course, if he whupped my ass it would be terribly confusing and wrongmaking. I'd have to sign over my life to him or something, until I can best him in honourable battle, right?
Or I could have B kick his ass. There has to be an upside to having friends his size.

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

Can I borrow him for my work xmas party? And can you give me a shiner the day before?
I'm looking for a nice sort of, "leave allyson alone, she has problems" effect in my workplace.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm looking for a nice sort of, "leave allyson alone, she has problems" effect in my workplace.Yeah, but then you're entering, "We need to stage an intervention!" territory, and nobody needs that. Copier room therapy!

Thanks for the climbing tips Consuela and -t.
David, Emmett is truly awesome and I would vote for him right now!
At the parent-teacher conference it was noted that he had leadership potential. I have to say I really love Emmett's teacher. She's a 27 year vet and a crunchy granola Berkeley hobbit, but she really enjoys having him in her class.

B's perfect rent-a-boyfriend material. One way or another, I think you want to leave his women alone.
I wouldn't give his girlfriend an intervention, just in case it got back to him who started the whole thing.
Which isn't to say he's not the greatest kindest guy ever--it's just that the absolute best picture of him has blood pouring down his face and determination in his eyes.

I think you'd be working harder to make this happen since you get to punch me in the eye for free.
