Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

Me too. I got to the point where I don't feel like I'm going to be drowning tomorrow, so that's a plus, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

ita, no. Hotchner never smiles. Ever. Strangely, I still like him.

Good night, Burrell and Perkins! Sleep for me too, OK?

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

Hotchner never smiles. Ever. Strangely, I still like him.

Tonight's ep was the one where he's called in the amnesia trial and he totally profiles the defense lawyer in front of the whole court. Gotta love that. Wouldn't marry that, but I would love it.

As far as I've seen, Morgan's a bit of a superhero. Goodlooking, bright, athletic, and eerily adjusted to the gore of the job. I understand there's some Chicago ep where he's a little more human. I'd love to see that emo eyebrow action.

eta: The season promos totally give away the results of the cliffhanger. Bad sport.

Speaking of work I meet a recruiter tomorrow in Arcadia. That's a huge distance from here. I set up the meeting at 11 so hopefully I miss traditional rush hour. Any localistas have any idea how much time I should give myself? I'm gonna try 90 minutes, hoping that contains cushion.

Good luck tomorrow, ita.

I hope I'm not offending anyone's religious beliefs by posting this, but a friend emailed me the next quote out of this article: "The Catholic church seems to be acknowledging that no one in their right minds would want to be a priest these days".

Thanks, Shir. My biggest concern is appearing like the sort of person that goes around smashing into furniture.

Which, you know, I am.

Yikes! I hope he didn't ask me to bring a printed copy of my resume. That would be silly, right? Damn. I smell an earlier departure in my future. Gotta stop by Kinko's.

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

Good luck, ita.

Still awake. Too much caffeine plus aching hip equals no sleep for Hil.

I think that as long as you won't look like the kind of person that goes around and smashing the furniture out of rage, you'll be alright. My boss banned me from throwing stuff at my co-workers about a year ago, saying "sorry Shir, insurance just doesn't cover it anymore".

I saw a very cute dress last night, when I went to buy fabric for curtains (just bought fabric for my own room, but couldn't find anything for the living room's window before the stores were closed) and red henna for my hair (because I need something to take my mind off the braces for a while. Solid food, I miss thee). It's red-brownish (according to my not-color-shade-blind friend), long sleeves almost-mini dress, and it's only 70 NIS. With boots it'll be The Thing. But I'll see wait how I'm with money for next week, after I'll buy my friend her gifts for her bachelorette party (I think I found something small and symbolic - a key chain, because there's a phrase in Hebrew regarding marriage that says you're establishing a house and a home in Israel by marrying. I'll add something cute, like WWCD - What Would Cthulhu Do? to it. And a bottle of drink, so it won't look like I'm a cheap bastard). Anyway, the dress - I'm 23 year old, and finally acting like a girl when it comes to clothes. My friends' training apparently works.

Hee. I'm biting out of one side of my mouth--it's very exciting.

I need to be sleeping, but I slept so long today (the light hurt my eyes too much to try anything else) so I'm up too late. But at least I'm doing work application stuff inbetween clearing off the TiVo. Watching the extreme plastic surgery episode of Secret Lives of Women. It's not quite what I thought. Only one is a woman having her face done and done and done--the other is a woman tidying up after gastric bypass. There's a bit of judgey judgey there because she's about to embark on 33K more surgery while they're still paying of the previous $60K--they already had to move from NorCal to, like, Dakota to free up money.

Huh. Doctor just said of her "I think she likes surgery." Those are scary words.

And the third woman is MTF who's already had her genitals done, but really, still looks like a 6'3 man. So face, boobs, and waist/hips. That doesn't strike me as addiction of any sort.
