Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

In fact, I can see her being a Sophie first, personality aside.

That thought occurred to me too, especially after listening to her on the way home.

Because books.

Ooh, is she a talker, Perkins? Talking cats crack me up. Winnie is like that (the one with the mutant tail). She will yap at you all day if you let her.

Somewhat, at least in the car. It's very bird like.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I could see her as a Sophie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

And oh yeah,

The team named after animals wins handily.

In this case, neither one! Kinda.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My living room before the present one was a color close to that. I liked it quite a lot.

Cute new kitty! The lighting really changes her look, doesn't it? Neat. I could see her being a Sophie.

The place with the gumbo I like in San Jose flies in Leidenheimer's bread for their po'boys. I wouldn't have thought I would care about that, but it does make a difference.

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

If I indeed have an interview coming up, should I go in with my hair freshly shorn? It's kind of nothing right now, just a uniform ~1cm length. I'd be cutting it to 3mm. I feel more polished that way. But I do get that it's a bit...alternate. But that's my normal haircut when I'm putting any effort into my appearance.

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

It's kind of a tradeoff on: (1) What makes ita most confident and feeling pulled together; and (2) What's most comforting and normative to the interviewer.

In an interview situation (with going-back-Jamaica-to-live-with-my-parents as one of the potential negative results) I'd opt for (2).

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

Maybe I could bleach it again? I think I have the supplies under my sink.

I just don't feel pulled together with this hair. It feels indicative of sloth.

But your point is well taken.

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

Bleaching could be a good compromise for you.

When you look in the mirror you'll feel like you.
