Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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

I know what it is !!! And want pictures when she gets it!

Well, now I'm askeered that it's Belinda II. I want to say, Oh, Perkins would never do that to us...and then I think about the seekrit mischief and sneaky evil that is Perkins, and I realize that she totally would.

Please, please let it be a meerkat onesie!

Aw, megan, I'm sorry. I called and left a message on your phone when the N Judah thwarted our plans to arrive on time. We ended up not getting downtown until well past 6; I debated just heading straight to the march but then worried that you might still be waiting at our meeting place, so we went there, found you not there, went back to the rally site, and found that the march had already marched all the way to Market & Church. At which point we gave up and came back home.

But at least plenty of people all over Muni got to see my sign ("This straight married churchgoing mom voted NO ON 8") and they were cheering and woot!ing and thanking me (it didn't hurt that for a good bit of the ride Matilda grabbed the sign and vigorously tap-danced with it). A block away from our apartment, a short burly bearish guy stopped us to ask if we'd been to the protest, and when I admitted that we'd tried but missed, he said, "Thank you, though. Thank you for even trying. Just thank you," and got all choked up and rushed into his apartment.

My city. My dear city.

I always get an invite to some inaugural dinner/ball thing from my college. Which I ignore because it's a couple hundred bucks. But since I went to college in IL, I'm toying with going this time.

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

It is not Belinda II, though now I wish it were.

I am going to be in town next Sunday, so it may have to wait until then, unless I feel much more ambitious tomorrow or Sunday than I do right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse has become unstuck in time...

OMG, apparently. HERE IS WHAT I MEANT: Clinton's 2nd inauguration, whenever the hell that was.

I'd better go to sleep soon, before I get even more of the dumb.

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

Timelies all!

Went up to Fells Point tonight to meet some of G's college friends for dinner.(One is currently working in Baltimore, the other is in town because his wife is attending a conference) Had yummy Greek food. I sleep now.

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

I think I am going to gain much weight until I get a job. For some reason I have become incredibly suggestible. Anything makes me hungry. Inbetween nausea bouts, that is.

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

My university is having an inaugural ball, but it's sold out already.

I am watching What Not To Wear but it's not distracting me sufficiently from fretting about work. I suspect I will spend the entire weekend convinced that I suck.

You do not suck. You did the work of two people this week. If you can concentrate on Atlantis, it will make you feel better.

Shrift does not suck. Bah on those who make you think you do.
