I'm just annoyed with many things today, and I think I would burn off a lot of tension by punching someone in the throat.
Can you come out to Palo Alto? I have a GREAT candidate for you.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, oh, I want to punch someone in the throat too!

Our wings are not tired.
The list of people needing punches is long.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
{{{sj}}} Me three, or four, or whatever number we're up to by now: several stupid, stupid fender benders, while doing things like backing out of a parking space, just because I was distracted and stressed out. Hec rolls his eyes at me for sometimes opting for public transit with Matilda instead of driving, but I'm just so very large with the vehicular self-doubt. You're so very much not alone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't have fender-benders. Fender-benders involve other cars and are entirely understandable. No, I tend to drive into large, stationary objects which any idiot could see.

Thanks, everyone. I just took a nap at Mom's and am feeling better enough to drive home.
Scrappy, ftr it was a large stationary item. A large stationary car directly behind me.

Paging Teppy:
One of my bosses is now trusting me to do some proofreading of his MS's before submitting them to journals. I'm doing my best to make them internally consistent (all references listed in the same format; consistent bolding, italicizing, or whatever through the document) and, since they mostly have to be submitted electronically, to strip out all the weird fonts and accidental hyperlinks and random tabs or hanging first lines and all the other formatting excrescences that crop up when stuff is typed by people who don't actually, well, type.
Is there more Shit That Drives Editors Bugfuck I should be looking out for before I hit the "send" button?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay Aimee!

I just got back from trapeze. Had a good day. Was able to do something that I've been having trouble with for a while now. Am now exhausted. Slept the whole way back from Baltimore. And I can feel that I will be sore all over tomorrow. But still, good day.
