Um, apologies if I was a little het up. God, I hate the Romans. I mean, concrete is a good thing, but...
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What kind of cooking grease are we talking about, anyway? I mean, if it's duck fat, that changes the whole equation...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

C Ancient Greece?? WTFF??? The Romans are a bunch of concrete-developing, butt-slapping football players! The Greeks write poetry! Chuck the Romans!
But it was much better to be a woman in Rome than Greece. Sure, Greece is fascinating, and I've even got a plot bunny for some novels set there, but if you forced me to go live in an ancient culture, I'd pick Rome all the way.
(This is possibly influenced by the fact that when I imagine myself in Rome I'm named Helena Justina and I'm living with Marcus Didius Falco.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
But! Romans! With the whole women getting to have expectations and be people! And a polyglot society! Yeah, very macho culture (not unlike our current one), but still! I need to get vaznetti to come and pontificate...
Though if I had to choose Greece, I'd go Sparta all the way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry, but I'm not fucking a bird, either. I don't know what you people do down in Texas....

Thanks for the info, Dana!
I wish I had a Chik-fil-a right now. I'm starving but there are no good food options near work.
