I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I suspect it's either too large to carry conveniently or too small for the tools to be very useful.

Probably true; however, it is a gadget so it would hold constant fascination.

It is really, really windy out there. Power flickering windy. Knocked over xmas trees on balconies windy. And I'm realizing that should the power go out, I'm going to really miss the internet. Pre-dead-screen, I could still be online without power. Not so much with an external monitor.

Sigh. Once I'm done spending money for the month, I'll start thinking about a new laptop.

Local npr station just lost power, I'd guess. It went off air abruptly.

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

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Bacon Salt is not for me.

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

I tried to drive to ita's place by myself, and got very lost, and then i cried.

I hate being directionally stupid.

Allyson, you need to put a little TomTom Nav system on your birthday list. I cry without my Nav in LA.

You are directionally challenged, not stupid. It happens. I can't tell nswe directions except at sunrise and sunset, so I get very frustrated when given directions based on that, because I'm basically screwed. I'm a "turn left at the target" directions person.

'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"

What Kristin and sarameg said!!!

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

I am sorry that anything to do with me incurred tears in Allyson. I'd hoped I was pretty good at keeping the crying to being a me job.
