I think I deserve cookies for solving complicated accounting software problems while high on Sudafed.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sorry.
The pull to post was inexorable, and a rickroll caveated isn't a rickroll at all.

Ha! I clicked on the second link first, and avoided ita's evil yet inevitable trap.
This doesn't so much get me my motivation back as give me a little feeble glow of triumph. I shall add tinder and blow on it a whole lot in the hopes of lighting a fire with it....

I think the piner is Liese.
Hee. Oh, those halcyon days of pining. Sweet Andy, for whom I created computer generated cards with Print Shop which read, "Te adoro, Antonio" even though your name was Anthony, and probably it wasn't all that anonymous a way to send love notes since I was the only one geeky enough to do something like that. If only I had been willing to pretend that I needed your help in fluid power automation class instead of brushing you off, who knows what might have happened?
eta: He looked a little bit like Jordan Catalano, too, now that I think about it.

Heal fast, Emaryn!
The goo is unpleasant, but ultrasounds are painless, although I wouldn't recommend the breast biopsy one, in which they look at an ultrasound screen to guide the placement of a giant needle. The breast was very numb at the time, though. The cool part of ultrasounds is that you can usually see the screen.

Unless they won't let you--like those bastards at NY Methodist!

Bastards, indeed. If you can't be amused by watching blurred pictures of your insides, the whole process becomes a pit of sticky boredom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Especially when you have some freakish alien life form growing inside you.

Yeah, when you have a freakish alien life form growing inside you, you need all the distraction you can get.
Now I'm envisioning a movie scene in which the patient is watching the ultrasound screen as the alien life form comes alive and eats the ultrasound technician.
