All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

God evolved first? That'd make some heads explode.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm confused, Kat--why is it inappropriate to tell the girl "You're not fat, you're just pregnant"?

meara, cause I wasn't sure if she was pregnant. She hadn't said anything and I just sort of stated what was obvious to me. Luckily (?) she was pregnant so I hadn't misjudged. But still... prolly not a good thing to blurt in the middle of class.

I've been watching MSNBC for about an hour straight and yeah, they're pretty messed up but they're doing a good job and no other news. You know?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow is the Potomac Celtic Festival, which we will go to for a while. Sunday I need to bring the car to Jiffy Lube, and we're doing dinner with G's dad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, fuck. I just got a call from EM.

Emmett's in full-on hysterical meltdown flip-out mode.

He doesn't want to play basebal and wants to quit the tournament team. He won't go to the game tonight and is having a full on screaming, door-slamming tantrum about having to talk to his tournament team manager about it.

Technically, he's not a teenager, but this seems like a pefect storm of Emmett's occasional eruptions where he gets emotionally stuck on some issue and a huge influx of hormones. He has completely lost his shit.

I've got to go collect the car in the East Bay after work, so I'll go over to talk to him later tonight, hopefully when he's calmed down and we can deal with him together.

Was it Ple who pointed out that I'd be parenting a toddler and a teenager at the same time?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh, man. I hope he comes out of it without too many scars on either side. I'm betting the physical illness isn't helping - I know my emotional reserves are a lot lower when my body's not cooperating.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, shit. Oh, love. If there's anything I can do, say the word.

That's so sad about Tim Russert.

The winds been wicked strong here all day and now forest fires are breaking out outside the city.

And I just saw a report on the news about the Iowa flooding stating that it's not even once in a century type of flooding, but once in 500 years kind of flooding. What is going on.
