Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

How often do you have to scramble while drinking, though?

Hee

I don't know if you recall that I have learned the hard way that I can no longer drink when exhausted and hungry, and then sit and watch a play. Because I fall asleep during the play. And snore.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There are 5 real mes and 6 board mes...

I guest that makes eleven total

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

There may be up to three of me. How committal.

I finally got a suit that's not brown! That's very exciting. You have no idea. Now it's time to back gently away from the eBay.

Huh. When I typed "You" a couple sentences back it came out as "zzzypu". Definitely time for a lie down. My hands are drifting.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Happy anniversary, Sheryl!

And thanks for the birthday wishes, again, people-who-wished-me-since-I-last-logged-in.

I feel bad to say it, but I don't want to remember yesterday as my birthday, or anything that had to do with it, or at all. It kindda sucked. Tears were involved, and keeps coming back everytime I think "shit, that was my birthday". But I'll reclaim the party-ness, happiness and love I deserve on my Hebrew birthday, in less than two weeks.

ita, I hope you're headache-free by now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I went and checked and yep, only one of me whether I use my married name or my given name, although there's more than one of each of my sybs. Only one Franny and one Isaac too, and one DH. We are a family of singularities.

Oh no Shir, what a no good, terrible, very bad birthday! I'm sorry it was such a dud, but hey, at least you get another one in a couple weeks.

Sherly and G happy anniversary -- I forgot to say so yesterday

Sorry things were not so good for you Shir.

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

Shir, I think for this year you should pick a new birthday and try again. I'm sorry it went off so badly.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Sorry it wasn't a good birthday, Shir. I hope your celebration in a couple weeks goes much better.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thanks guys, but really, I just wanna put all of this behind me. Let's just stop talking about it, OK?

I'm heading out to J-city soon, where I'll see a great concert. Another birthday will happen (thank you, Jewishness of mine for having another calender). Goodness to come.
